Day 330- 14 months!

Caleb turned 14 months today!

Dear Caleb,
You just turned 14 months!  I can't believe how big you are getting!  New developments this month include: walking backwards, climbing up onto the couch, 2 molars, starting to use a fork/spoon on your own, putting all the puzzle pieces into your shapes puzzle, and your second Halloween/Thanksgiving!  Can't believe you're now moving to your "2nd" holidays.  You wear 12-24 month clothing and size 3 diapers.  You have 10 teeth with 2 on the way.  You love applesauce, yogurt, and string cheese, but will eat or try most food.  You drink 3 sippies of whole milk and sometimes one of juice or water each day.  We still have to supplement some with "baby" and "toddler" foods.  You ADORE your "buddy" and will start laughing and walk towards your room if I ask you if you want it.  You sleep pretty well (minus a few nights when you were teething) from around 8pm to 7:30 am, with a 2-3 hour nap around noon.  You love books, your popping ball toy, your puzzle, big legos, toy cars, electronics, and anything that we use (i.e. cell phone, pots/pans, wallet, pen, IPad, keys).  You also love to go to the park, look out our storm door and watch the street, and play "i'm gonna getcha".  You babble more and more, sometimes making the same sound of the object we are talking about.  You understand most simple 1 step commands and a ton of nouns.  You know several body parts (head, hair, ears, nose, eyes, feet, hands) and a couple articles of clothing (shoes and shirt).  I love that you giggle in excitement in anticipation for things you want (most of the time), rather than screaming or crying in impatience.  I have a lot to learn from you!  I pray with you every night before bed and am glad that you go to a daycare where you can learn about Jesus as well.  God created you with a special purpose in mind.  Thank you for all the JOY you bring to me and Daddy!
Love,
Mama
