Today you are 14 months old.  I think this has been my favorite age so far.  You are sooo much fun to play with and TALK with!  You are beginning to understand simple instructions and you are starting to say new things every day.  I LOVE being your mommy!

I'm not sure how much you weigh right now because it's been a while since we've been to the doctor (for which  I'm very thankful!), but I think you've gained a few pounds.  You are wearing a size 5 diaper during the day and a size 5 overnight diaper at night.  You can wear clothes anywhere from 12 months to 24 months, depending on the outfit.  I have almost given up on putting you in jeans or jean shorts, because they just simply do not fit!  You are in a size 3 shoe.

You still like to eat for the most part, but have been going through a stage where you are too busy to sit down and eat a good meal.  You would prefer to eat on the go, which doesn't work well for mommy.  We are trying to let you eat by yourself, but most of the food ends up on your shirt, or in Wrigley's mouth!  Most days I can't stand the mess and end up feeding you.  We'll see how well this goes....  Your absolute favorite thing to eat right now is cottage cheese.  Anytime you see something white and creamy, you think it's cottage cheese.  If it isn't, you get very upset!  You will eat about anything we put in front of you, but you aren't real crazy about potatoes.

You LOVE being outside.  Daddy hung a swing for you last month and you point to it and whine every time you see it until we swing you.  You are very good at convincing people to put you in there and give you a few pushes.  You also LOVE sitting in your little lawn chair.  You and daddy sit out in your chairs in the evening and just hang out.  You think you are big stuff sitting there with daddy!

You are saying quite a bit these days.  You favorite word is "wigwey"  or in big people language, Wrigley.  Every time we turn onto our street, you start saying it.  You say it in the morning and at night.  You say it when you see Wrigley and when you see any other animal that may or may not resemble Wrigley.  You are also saying "Booooo" whenever we ask you what a cow says.  And the other day you said "quack, quack" when we asked what a duck says.

You're favorite toys right now are books.  You have several that you love to look at.  Most of the favorites have animals in them.  You bring them to us to read over and over again.  You also love your Praise Baby DVD.  Anytime you are grumpy we put that in and let you sit and watch it.  I think mommy and daddy love it as much as you!

You are having some sleep issues this past week or so.  You seem to be waking up around 1:00 each night and crying.  You usually put yourself back to sleep within 10 minutes.  We haven't really figured this one out yet.  You are still taking two naps on most days.  You normally take an hour nap.

We have really loved watching you grow and change.  I love seeing your little personality shine through more and more each day.  As always, momma and daddy love you more than the world!!
