14 Months

Hunter Cole,

...you are 14 months old

...you weigh 21.6 lbs.  I still haven't measured how tall you are, but you are noticeably taller.

...you still have 8 teeth.

...you are starting to grow out of your 6-12 month pjs and pants.  However, I bought you some 12-18 month jeans at Gap and they fall off of you.

...your appetite has really increased this month.  You are eating so much and will eat almost anything.  Hopefully, you will grow!  At this point, we are doing no dairy.  We have tried tons of things to see if it helps with your eczema and no dairy has seemed to work best.

...you are still sleeping in the bed with us, but sleeping much better.  Hopefully we will begin to transition you to your own bed soon!

...you LOVE milk (almond milk.)  You will only drink it out of 1 specific type of cup.  We have tried every other type of cup and you want nothing to do with them.

...you are using your fork more and more.  You can get the food to your mouth if its on the fork, but if you have a spoon you turn it upside down before you get it to your mouth.  However, you prefer to hold your for in your right hand and shovel food in your mouth with your left.

...speaking of left hand, you use it most often so I'm thinking you may be a lefty.

...you still LOVE to be outside.  You push your little red car everywhere and you are starting to play with your water table more and more.

...you have finally figured out how to make your 4-wheeler go, but you haven't figured out how to steer.  You will go from the kitchen to the living room over and over if we will turn you around.

...this month has been so much fun.  You are really starting to learn so much.  You know where eyes, nose, ears, mouth, teeth, tongue, and belly are.  You love your ears and are constantly pulling at them and saying ears.  If you are finding my ear, you HAVE to make sure you touch both of them and say ears!

...you think everything is blue.  It doesn't matter what color something is, if we ask you, you always say blue.

...same goes with animal sounds, everything says nay-nay to you.

...all vehicles make the same noise to you also.  If you pick up a 4-wheeler, truck, or motorcycle you will stay brmm, brmm.  It's too cute.  You are continuing to twist the throttle on everything you get on with a handle.  Hopefully you will be able to ride your strider bike soon.

...you are such a talker.  You are constantly saying new words.  I have tried to make a list of the words you are frequently saying, but I KNOW I've left many out.

baby, backpack, ball, banana, bite, blue, book, butt, chance, deer, ears, eat, green, map, milk, momma, no, nose, red, ride, spoon, uh-oh, yellow

...you said your 1st 2 words together...ALL GONE!  You also say things like A BALL and HOLD ME.
