14 Months

The Corb at 14 months:

*Says "this" and "that" when pointing to things that he wants.

*Loves to unload everything. That's not new, but now he will try to put things back after he is done unloading.

*Is loved by all the neighborhood kids. When we go outside, they all run up to play with him.

*Loves Bo Bo the monkey. If we ask him where he is, he'll go get him. And he likes to have him in his crib when he takes a nap or goes to bed for the night. He also loves giving his Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal hugs.

*Goes up and down stairs like a pro! (Finally!) So we decided we could take down the gate at the top of the stairs.

*Colors with chalk and crayons. But he doesn't understand that you are only supposed to color on the sidewalk or on paper, so we have to watch him constantly!

*Will come sit in my lap and listen to me read him books - if he's in the mood. He absolutely won't sit still if you try to force him.

*Only takes 1 nap a day. It's been a rough transition for us, but hopefully we'll figure it out soon. If I try to give him a second nap, it's never a good experience, so even if I know he's tired it really isn't worth it anymore. That being said, he usually goes down for his first nap so easily and wakes up in the best mood.

*Makes lots of curious noises with voice inflection.

*Likes to flip things around - like his washcloth in the bathtub. He also has figured out how to pour water which sometimes makes for a very wet bathroom and dad!

*Likes to "tickle" us.

*Loves popsicles. Today he insisted he have both of these popsicles at snack time!

We love our little guy!
