14 months!

My sweet baby boy (not such a baby, but he still has his baby chub) is 14 months old today. It also happens that I came back to work a year ago today after my maternity leave, and it makes me sad. That being said my 14 month old is up to all kinds of things!

  • He says ball (to almost everything circular, and to all kinds of balls). It took me forever to pull him away from the ball bin at the sports store on Saturday.
  • He also says bye-bye and sometimes owl, and he tries to say lots of other things, I just don't always understand.
  • He loves to eat whatever I'm eating including Thai food, guacamole, and honey mustard.
  • He dances whenever music comes on (is anything cuter?)
  • He wears mostly 18 month clothes with the occasional 24 month thrown in.
  • He wears size 5 shoes.
  • He loves to climb, he figured out how to climb over the ottoman we use to keep him in the living room just the other day.
  • He's fascinated by opening & closing doors.
  • He wears size 4 diapers.
  • He drinks soy or rice milk from a cup during the day but still has a meltdown if he doesn't get to nurse at night (so he does)
  • He's currently getting 3 molars, the one on the bottom left is almost in, the two on the top are just starting.
  • He LOVES cups with straws, and always wants mine!

10 Months!

Yesterday D turned 10 months old! (Seriously!?!)

Last year at this time I had a "very special" seat at graduation (so I didn't have to sit in a folding chair, and could easily sneak out if needed) and I thought that there was no way my belly could get any bigger (it definitely did!)

This year I'm leaving my little bug home with dad while I go to graduation and have some mommy time!
At 10 months he can:

  • Stand for seconds at a time (I think we were up to 10 this morning)
  • Clap (but only when he wants to)
  • Give high-fives to mom & dad
  • Wave bye-bye (again when he wants to)
  • Says uh-oh pretty consistently
  • Likes to be LOUD!
  • Army crawls to find me in the kitchen (or wherever else I am)
  • Pulls up on anything stationary (& some things that aren't)
  • Loves the cats (it is not so mutual)
  • Has NOT learned "gentle" when it comes to the cats :)
  • Wants to feed himself everything, and loves to eat off mommy's plate/fork
  • Wants to WALK!

He is currently about 23 pounds, and at 31 inches he is half as tall as me!
