My little girl is now 14 months old. Each day she is becoming more and more of a "toddler" and less of a "baby." When she turned 1, I was a little sad because my baby was gone but after these past couple of months, I am so excited to have a little toddler. She is constantly making us laugh and watching her experience new things just makes my day. She is such a joy in our lives. She's wearing a size 4 diaper now. They are still a little big, but she is so incredibly tall that she needed something that went higher up on her body than the size 3. Her clothes sizes range depending on the item. She has some 6 month clothes that still fit and some 24 month clothes that fit. It sure makes buying clothes very easy... She is still a picky eater but she's getting better. She loves bananas, strawberries, cheese, potatoes, sweet potatoes, graham crackers, and bread. She has a couple new words including "yummy" and "no" (we love that one...). She's working on a few more like please, thank you, help, outside and yes. She loves to sing and will sing the ABC's. She'll do the correct tune and will say letters, but not the right letters. It's more like "DDDP DDD." Although it's so cute, we want her to know more than D and P so we sing that a lot around here :) She dances to music and loves to watch other people dance. Seriously, So You Think You Can Dance is one of her new favorite shows. She will wave and give high fives sometimes and also shake your hand if asked. She's been teething a lot lately and it's not that fun. When she was an infant, she would teeth for a few days and then we had a break for a while. Lately, she's been fussy and drooling for weeks. She's getting several new teeth. It's exciting to finally see a toothy grin, but it can be difficult dealing with her mouth pain at times. She's still a pretty good napper. She's starting to need less sleep so her naps aren't as long. She still goes to bed easily enough so I don't mind shorter naps too much. She can climb onto and off the couch and chairs now so we have to watch her even more closely. She's starting "school" soon (aka Parents Day Out) and I'm excited about that!! It will be nice to get back on a good schedule. She's starting to remember friends and family more even though she'll go a while without seeing people. It's cute to see her face light up when she sees one of her little friends. She recognized my mom when she came to visit last week and that was fun to see. She's been working on some skills, like stacking blocks and coloring. She hasn't made any works of art yet - she's not quite strong enough to push hard enough with a crayon or marker, but she's getting the motion down so it's only a matter of time!
Happy 14 months sweet Caroline! Your daddy and I love you so much. You bring a smile to our faces every single day and we love watching you grow and learn. I am still amazed how lucky I am to call you my daughter.
She's really good at making a mess!
Everything still goes in her mouth. I am looking forward to that stage coming to and end...
I added this one so you can see her baby mullet. She's getting her first haircut this weekend or early next week!!
