Noah @ 14 months

Hey look! Less than a week late! And with lots of iphone pictures!

I'm having a harder time distinguishing certain things that are new to each month. The milestones aren't as noticeable anymore. 

Noah:

• trying to say more and more words. But lots of it still sounds identical to other mumbo jumbo he says. Things we understand most of the time: car, banana (nanna), his animal sounds (moo, ruff, neigh, baa), baby, ball, dadda, momma, bye bye. He will bring me the remote and try to say "Daniel" meaning he wants to watch Daniel Tiger. 

• got a little plastic bike for christmas. He pushes it everywhere around the house. He has only recently started sitting on it. He can go backwards too but not forward haha. 

• has somehow managed to make David's work keys and a credit card disappear. Not so fun. 

• still really into climbing things. Me, his trike, trying to climb out of the bathtub. He figured out how to climb on the couch but can only do it when he is not wearing diapers 

• is getting more and more insistent about having his own fork/spoon at mealtimes. He also would prefer that you put any/all food into the small cup holder indentation instead of onto his tray.

• can and will inhale fruit in 10 seconds. We have found him sneaking oranges more than once and he really loves his bananas in the morning. And cottage cheese. He always pulls it out of the fridge and wants me to open it. 

• he learned how to play ring around the Rosie and will spin and sing to himself a lot of the time. He really likes the "fishes in the water" part too and will wiggle his hands for you to sing it. 

• he understands tons of phrases now. If you put a hat or sunglasses on him and tell him to go look in the mirror, he will dash off to my room and giggle. He likes to show daddy it too. He is pretty good about listening when we tell him to close the door/cupboard or to bring us something or put something away. 

• still really loves to read books, watch cars out the window, and take baths. He likes to wear daddy's headphones and listen to music. 

• we have him a real haircut and he actually did really well (mostly because David was feeding him candy the whole time)

We both have cabin fever pretty badly at this point. I'm just happy it's February already. This is the point of the year where we start talking about moving to a place where it doesn't snow.
