One Year and Counting...Month 14...

...You turned 14 months on June 5th! Here is what you've been up to the last month...

• Size 2 diapers
• 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes, some randoms 12 months which are still too big, but we put them on any way! 
• We moved you to a "big girl" carseat!
• You really started walking May 8th- from place to place with out holding on. I think you could've walked much sooner, as you were very steady, but it was all in good time!
•  You have perfected the whine when you want something, along with pointing...and also perfected the pout when you don't get it. I must say, you have THE cutest bottom lip.
• You hit mommy, on Mother's Day no less, and got swatted back. You cried and I was just in shock. There has been no more of that since then.
• You are now signing "more" when you want more during meals.
• You are fake laughing and laughing when everyone else around you laughs.
• You like to bring us/throw things at us when you want something. (A toy turned on, something opened, a book read.)
• Two molars and a third bottom tooth (on the right) broke through this month. You have lots of swollen gums, so I think you are working on several more.
• You have moved from the sippy cup to the straw.
• You like feeding mommy and daddy and think it's so funny. You always try to share your food.
• You love playing "pillows", which consists of us throwing you on pillows, squishing them on you, or just rolling around in them.
• You're definitely testing your limits and using tears to try to get what you want. I'm not always sure on how to handle "disciplining" or training you to not do these things (i.e.-repeatedly trying to put your foot on the table at dinner when we're out to eat). We pray for wisdom as we enter a new territory in parenting! Usually telling you "no" is enough and you listen well, but you are a toddler, so... : )
• You are currently waking btw. 7-7:15 and going down at btw. 7-8. You eat 3 meals and 1 snack a day and get around 18-24 oz. of whole milk. 
• You are THE pickiest eater. You are totally against new textures. You would live on fruit and cheese if I let you. We have to get creative in giving you meats and veggies. Usually we mix veggies with the fruits (you still love packets) and if we only put meat on your plate to start with you will usually eat it.
• Favorite foods: cheese, fruit-berries, peanut butter bread
• You are completely obsessed with books. They are your favorite "toy" right now. You love to read them by yourself or bring them to us to read to you. You will back yourself up into our laps and plop down. Oh.my. Swoon. 

Mommy-daughter dinner date at Pei Wei

Stink face while eating...

 

You love your babies.

AMAZED by the rain.

You love playing in your closet.

Hanging out in the back seat of the car.

Places to go...

Visiting baby Calvin in the hospital.

Mother's Day

You LOVE playing in mommy's closet (I guess it's daddy's too...)

You will not get out of this thing. It's another favorite. We take it on walks and ride around the house in it.

Thursdays with GiGi

Morning snuggles with daddy.

Pillows!!!

Steen is your favorite friend! Mommy loves getting pictures of you two at work!

Papa and ChaCha brought you this purse from the Bahamas and you wore it around for a week.

A random nap in my arms.

I love your squishy face when you fall asleep in the car.

You love playing outside...and bubbles!

Your ponytail stayed in!!!

Daddy picked out this hat for you.

 More Steen. You love to lay on him, not sure he loves it...

 Walkin'

 Such a goof.

We sure do love you sweet baby girl!
