14 Months!

Oh, how fast time flies! I cannot believe this little baby is 14 months old! When I uploaded these pictures, I nearly cried at how big he looks! So here's what we are doing at 14 months: He sleeps around 11 hours at night. Usually to bed at 9 and up at 8. We are down to one nap a day (most days - unless the first one is short for some reason) around 1:00. He usually naps for 2-3 hours at that time.

He eats EVERYTHING! If you're eating, you better believe he's gonna be too. Still loves green beans. Loves pretzels, marshmallows, mandarin oranges and breakfast sausage the most! And the kid drinks milk like it's going out of style! But if he sees a juice box, forget the milk...
We also started using a spoon this month! He can actually get about 50% of the cereal to his mouth without dropping it! He's been a pro with a fork for a while, but the spoon is still a work in progress.
He says momma, dada, moo (moose), ti-ta (kitty cat), and other words rather sporadically. He will repeat what you say sometimes, but usually not when you want him to! He's also figured out how to make this noise that I'm not sure how to describe... Like he's rolling his tongue over and over... "Lalalalalalalala." We hear that A LOT... And he points and grunts A LOT...

He really likes to show you his muscles now! He can also tell you how old he is. When you ask, he raises one little finger to show you that he's one! He also uses that finger for "one more time." When you are doing something that he really likes, as soon as you stop, he raises up that finger saying, "one more time!"

GGRRRRR!!! Big muscles!!
He also really likes to wink at people now. Which is really funny because he blinks with both eyes!
And pulling all the toilet paper off the roll is our new favorite activity... He can point to his nose, eyes, hair, tongue, teeth, hands and feet. He can also help me put on his socks and shoes, as well as raising his legs when we're putting on pants. He can also put his arms in his shirts when dressing. The other night before bed, I was singing "Rudolph" to him. When I said "red nosed reindeer" he grunted and pointed to my nose. So cute...
He LOVES a bath! If we're downstairs and I say "are you ready for a bath?" He starts laughing and running for the stairs! He likes to stir in the water when it's running and put the bubbles in his hair (pretending to be washing it).
We now have 16 teeth (probably did on the last post too, I just can't remember!) which I think means we only lack the 4 two-year molars.
He loves to be in the kitchen. He has a couple cabinets that he is allowed to play in, and believe you me, he will pull everything out of them! He especially likes my whisk, the icecream scoop, the grater, and the tongs.

He signs more, please, and occassionally thank you (though we're still working on that one). He also shakes his head yes and no pretty accurately. He can also point "up" when you ask.

How big does he look in this picture?? I said "say cheese" and this is the face I got... Jeez I love this kid...

Brooke, you have such a cutie pie on your hands! You are so going to LOVE having two boys (there is definitely never a dull moment). Mine are just now getting to where they can play with each other which is just the greatest thing to see. I am glad to see that you all had a wonderful Christmas and am looking forward to keeping up with you and your sweet growing family in 2011!
