14 Months

Posted on August 16, 2010 Written by Tonya

Unbelievably another month of milestones is behind us.

At 14 months, you:

  • Can ‘ask’ to go to bed, for food and a bottle.
  • Had your first Subway kids meal! You are no stranger to Subway, but this was very exciting for me, seeing as I eat there 2-3 times a week. No more sharing turkey and cheese.
  • Know what sound kitties, dogs, cows, snakes, monkeys and sheep make and your dad and I ask you all the time because it’s adorable and hilarious.
  • Know where your head, belly, toes, nose, teeth and ears are. We ask you about these a lot too.
  • Recognize pictures of “mama”, “dada” and aunt Leah, whom you call “Eah”
  • Still enjoy Kindermusik class and swimming lessons and we have signed up for another round of each.
  • Got your first haircut and it instantly turned you into *sigh* a little boy.
  • Have molars starting to come in and you are taking it all in stride. Thankfully, teething has never kept you awake at night or been a big issue for you at all.
  • Caught your second cold from me this week. Sorry. We have both been a mess.
  • Can get on and off the couch which scares the bejesus out of me!
  • Can walk up stairs…with reluctant assistance.
  • Took a tumble down 5 stairs this week (of course, the week Daddy is away), which scared a whole lot more than the bejesus out of me.

You are a busy little bee and into absolutely EVERYTHING. I can’t turn my back for a minute without you grabbing for my cup of water, items out of the refrigerator, or heading right towards the toilet. It’s exhausting and wonderful watching you play and discover and become your own person. You are caring and funny and delightful. Keep on keeping on.

The best is yet to be.

    They get big way too fast!
    It seems like my Katie was just learning to climb onto the couch and climb the stairs.
    I wish I could figure out a way to pause time.
    Your little guy is beyond adorable!

    These updates always make me feel a little behind because 1) How did Lucas get to be 14 months old and 2) Alex is three months behind him but can't tell me any sounds animals make. While I know he's not supposed to yet it makes me feel like I should be asking him more.

    But he now knows how to give kisses which makes me giggle. Especially because he thinks putting his tongue in your mouth is a great addition to the kiss. Too fast kid, too fast.

    I love your updates because it gives me an opportunity to see what's in store for the girls! I am so excited about all these things…especially to hear them start making sounds 🙂

    BTW – 104 followers…woo hoo!

    Hooray for Kindermusik!! It's a big hit at our house too.
    And I am a little bit jealous that teething is so uneventful at your house. My youngest's last tooth came through over a year ago and I am still exhausted from it.

    It's really great that you are doing such a beautiful job of documenting. Believe it or not, one day you will forget. I have yet to finish my daughter's book and now the memories are fuzzy.

    Wow, so many cool things going on at his age! The couch thing scared the winkies out of me, too….but eating a kid's meal out at a restaurant? Huge!
