14 Months Old!

Kirksey, you are 14 months old today! You have definitely moved on to being a toddler. You are such a delight to be around!

You are finishing up the last few size 3 diapers that we have and then you will be moving up to size 4.

You mostly wear 12 month clothes.

You wear about a size 3 shoe.

You have 9 teeth showing, including a molar on the left upper side.

You eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.

You drink between 1 1/2 - 2 of your sippy cups of each water and milk a day.

I am still putting you down for 2 naps a day, but you are starting to really fight your afternoon nap. It looks like we will be taking that morning nap away soon.

You love...

music,

dancing-you have recently added spinning around to your moves,

Maci,

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - you will bring me the remote to put it on the tv,

Panda,

Frog,

outside,

opening drawers and cabinets,

baths,

markers,

books, 

phones, 

keys,... 

and the list could seriously go on and on. You love most everything these days, except when I tell you "NO" - then you pitch a little fit.

You say "muk" (milk), "do" (dog), "duk" (duck), "ro-o" (roll over) with the hand motion, "all done" while signing (sounds a little like your roll over), you sign "more".

You will sometimes repeat what I say. For instance, the other day I was trying to get you to say "please"with the sign language and you copied me.

You still point a lot, but you understand so much too. You surprise me with something new everyday. You are so smart!

You get tickled at things and laugh throughout the day. There is nothing sweeter than your laugh.

You greet daddy when he comes home from work by almost running into his arms when you here him come in the front door.

You still love your mama, but you are starting to prefer your daddy at times. I knew you would start to  become a daddy's girl soon. Plus, he lets you get away with almost anything!

You are always bringing/handing us something. 

You tell Maci to "ro-o" (roll over) all the time. You have even started to get on the couch with me to sit and you will pat your hand beside you to get Maci to get on the couch too. He is content being around you too now. He will let you walk up to him and pat on him, instead of running away from you. It might also have to do with the fact that you occasionally share your food with him!

You are getting good at knowing different animals. You don't say many of their names, but you can pick them out if I ask you. A new animal sound you have been doing is the elephant. You have a sippy cup with an elephant on it and you will point at it and make the noise.

You have been enjoying our zoo membership. We went again today.

You said "ba" to the sheep.

Then you told it to roll over,

You were also telling the cows to roll over, along with the tiger, elephant, panda and several other animals.

Today was the first time the pandas were not sleeping. You were so excited to see them moving around!

I truly love the excitement in your eyes as you discover something new.

 We love you so incredibly much!
