14 Months!

Thomas, you turned 14 months on April 23rd!

You eat 3 meals a day and 2-3 snacks of table food a day. You drink cow's milk. You like to drink water from your sippy cups now! 

You drink a bottle before your nap and before bedtime. 

New snacks you love to eat include: graham crackers, veggie sticks, bananas and peanut butter.

Favorite toys: You love your slide, balls, your stuffed brown bear, books, and 

pots and pans from the kitchen.  You love your bathtub toys that squirt water! You love the apps "Talking Tom" and "Musical Jukebox" on our iPad. 

Favorite books: Brown Bear Brown Bear, Where is Baby's Belly Button, and Itsy Bitsy Spider. 

You have started "reading" your books. 

Favorite games and songs: Peek-a-boo, wrestling, 

Head, Shoulder, Knees, and Toes, Itsy Bitsy Spider

If you are happy and you know it, 

The Wheels on the Bus

Sitting in my Highchair. 

You are starting to do the hand motions while we sing songs! You have started dancing when you hear music. 

Communication: You can say mama, dada, hi, bye, diaper (pronounced dye-dye), Thomas (pronounced TaTa).

You sign 'more please'. When your daddy gives you hugs and kisses when he comes home from work, you will sign "more please!" You will also sign 'eat' and 'brush teeth'. 

You understand the word 'no'. Whenever we tell you no, you will shake your head 'no'. 

You follow simple one step directions (ex: get your blanket, lay on your boppy, get in your chair). You are making more animal noises (you can roar like a lion, hiss like a snake, neigh like a horse, moo like a cow, bark like a dog)

You can touch your head and your toes when asked. You are beginning to touch your ears and mouth when asked.

You have discovered light switches! 

You love to wash your hands! If you see us washing our hands, then you want to wash your hands. 

You still have 2 chores that you do everyday:

 You throw away your diaper before you take a bath, and 

you put your dirty clothes in the hamper.

(Thanks for the ideas, Meredith!)

You give Molly hugs and you try to play fetch with her. 

Dislikes: Brushing your teeth, having your diaper changed, leaving the park

Firsts: You hunted Easter eggs for the first time!

We love you so much baby boy! You fill our hearts with so much joy!!!

Keep the faith,

Lauren
