14 Months…

  Our little man is 14 months old now and there have been a lot of changes going on in our household.  I was laying in bed with him last night thinking of all the exciting developmental changes Gary and I have noticed in the past month. 

 

  What is Noah doing at 14 months?

 

– Points to the sky when he hears an airplane or when mommy or daddy say "airplane"

– Knows where his nose is and can point to it.  He also knows his tummy, feet, eye and head….but doesn’t always point to the right part!

– Is getting much more interested in books and can sit still long enough for mommy or daddy to read several.  His favorite right now is "Good Morning Farm"

– Loves to brush his teeth (yay for that!).  When we say "do you want to brush your teeth" he comes into the bathroom, takes his paci out and opens his mouth really wide!

– Hates being dressed or having his diaper changed

– Loves taking his liquid vitamins!

– When he gets excited he does "happy feet" and stamps his feet quickly

– Trys to say "grandpa, grandma, mom, dada, dad, Daisy" and knows alot more words than he says. 

    I talk to him in sentances during the day and he reacts correctly to a lot o what I say.  It always amazes me!

– Loves loud trucks, motorcycles, and emergency vehicles

– Loves to push and ride in his fancy car

– Grabs our finger when he wants to show us something or take us somewhere to play

– Loves riding in his infant carseat (yep, he is still in the infant carseat since he is so small!)

– Loves going to the zoo and is now very interested in the animals and aquarium.

– Loves going to COSI Science Center and playing in the Kidszone.  He especially loves the water tables where he can splash to his heart’s content

– Is a VERY picky eater.  He doesn’t like much meat and tends to like something one day and not the next.  He is now drinking whole milk (YAY!) and loves it.  He still eats some puree’s that mommy makes (banana is a favorite). He loves yogurt.

– Is still co-sleeping with mommy and daddy….and we all still love it.  He is going to bed now around 8:30 and is doing so much better at sleeping alone so mommy and daddy can get a little time to ourselves.

– Still is taking 2 naps a day (WOOHOO!).  He loves when I lay down with him!

– Loves when mommy sings him songs before bed and throughout the day

– Is a big daddy’s boy these days and cry’s when daddy leaves for work

– Loves riding on the back of daddy’s bicycle in the big boy seat!

– Loves to be in the pool…..especially splashing!

– Is becoming very independent in his play

– Is very good at throwing various size balls!  Do we have a future baseball player on our hands?

– Loves ice cream and begs for it if mommy and daddy have it

– Is not afraid of dogs at all…..and loves to play on, around, under, and with his doggy sisters

– Babbles all the time!  He is a chatterbox and loves to tell us things….if only we could understand!

– Loves to go for walks with mommy and daddy and the dogs in his Ergo carrier

– Loves being outside and getting dirty….he can find the dirt pile, water puddle, or various other dirty substances instantly!

– Is walking like a champ and runs when he gets excited

– Is starting to wean off breastfeeding.  A bit sad for mommy but he seems ready.  He is down to only night feedings.

– Comes and lays his head on my lap when he’s tired

– Has 8 teeth now!

– Waves when you say "bye bye" or "hi"

-He has already had 2 haircuts with a third coming today!

-He loves playing the "1,2,3 game".  Mommy or daddy count  and then on "3" we tickle him or make funny faces.  He chuckles and gets excited.

-He has the most precious belly laugh that just makes you smile

-He has been drinking out of sippy cup all by himself for about 6 months

-Freaks out and cries like crazy when I go in the shower!  He thinks I disappear into the wall!

-Loves to snuggle and get hugs when he first wakes up

-Is pointing at everything he sees

-Loves the TV remote control

-Is very good at going up stairs….it is a challenge still to come down
