14 months

My little Sweet P is 14 months and it's crazy to think I officially have a toddler. We have so much fun together. Here is some greatness about my favorite little lady:
Stats: 
Height: 30"
Weight: 20 lbs
Diapers: Size 3
Clothes: 12-18 months
Shoes: size 4

Favorites: Being tickled, when daddy gets home, playing with mommy's iPhone, swinging at the park, being outside, going to Sonshine Class at church, rolling around on the floor, playing with other kids, chasing Bonnie and Piglet and bath time is still an ultimate fav. Here are some pics of her favs:






NOT favorites: when mommy's phone is taken away, being at mommy's feet (she wants to be in the action. Her Learning Tower is being delivered today!), taking vitamins and sitting still.

Foods: sweet potato pancakes, french toast sticks, cinnamon apples, spinach, strawberries, quesadillas (usually filled with quinoa, lentils, spinach or chicken), hummus, chicken, grilled cheese, bananas (these can cause constipation so she can't have very much), animal crackers, yogurt, cheese, black beans and green beans. We are working on the Whole Milk thing and so far she likes Unsweetened Almond Milk and she loved the Horizon 1% Milk Drink Box, but she isn't a super fan of Whole Milk. We're still nursing. Not something I EVER thought I would say "Yes I'm still nursing my 14 month old." But she isn't ready to give it up completely. So we're still in the process of weaning. Aaron and I are going to the Shell Houston Open all day next Saturday and P is staying with some really good friends of ours. So she will only be able to nurse twice. I really think she'll be completely fine because I won't be there and she does really well being around other people. But the true test will be how the next day goes! We'll see if she can only handle nursing twice a day.

Sleeping: She still takes 2 naps a day that usually last 1.5-2 hrs. She sleeps 11-12 hours straight at night.

Schedule: Wakes around 7:45 am, nap at 9:15, nurse/snack when she wakes up, lunch around 12:30-1:00, nurse then nap at 2:15, snack when she wakes up, play time and we try to go outside, dinner around 5:45-6 pm then play play play until daddy gets home - mommy usually turns on the tv at 7 (Henry Hugglemonster is on or we watch Frozen!) to help keep P occupied while I pick up the house and finish dinner, then she gets about 15 - 20 minutes of time with Aaron and then it's bedtime between 7:30-8.

Development: She can say mama, dada, thank you, Diggy - which is Piggy short for Piglet (and on occasion I have heard Jo Jo and PawPaw), When you ask her what does the (fill in the blank of one of the following animals) she will answer you: "cow: moooooo", "puppy: (high pitched) arf arf", "kitty: meooow", "duck: dack, dack", "lion: raaaaaw". She has also learned to take small bites of food which is nice because I don't have to cut up some things anymore. I can give her a small, whole pancake and she can eat the whole thing by holding it by herself and taking small bites. She has started walking with her hands down by her side instead of holding them out to keep her balance. She can blow kisses. She can give hugs and kisses on command. She has learned how to push buttons and she can turn the lights off (we're still working on turning them on.) She can close doors. She is learning to give us things when we ask for them.

Adventures: 

St. Paddy's Day.

 McDonad's Houston Children's Festival with Katie, Jackson and Tricia.





 The Grove Donutz. First donut! It had Nutella, Banana and Caramel.


First Hibachi Steakhouse experience at Shogun.

Hand Foot and Mouth Disease gave you sores in your throat and 104.5 fever. Not a fun time.

First fun mommy/daughter outing. We had Panera Bread, a little shopping and play time!

 The park!

Happy 14 months sweet girl. We have loved every second of being your mama and dada in these last 14 months! xoxo Lauren
