Little Bug at 14 months …

• wears mostly 12 month size clothes, but can still wear some 6-9 month outfits too.
• was weaned from the bottle!!! It was actually a very painless process and I ended up weaning cold-turkey on August 2nd because she took so well to her Born Free Sippy.
• wears size 4 diapers overnight and for naps. We still have some size 3 diapers that she can wear if she is not sleeping. Once those run out though she will only wear size 4.
• takes 2 naps a day and is currently trying to drop her morning nap. I’m hoping by 16-18 months she is only taking one nap a day.
• eats like a pig. I cannot believe how much food this girl consumes in a day. It is truly amazing. Eggs are about the only thing she won’t eat. Everything else (from bread to shrimp is fair game). She will eat most anything you give her.
• is a HUGE Mama’s girl right now. Dada has the plague and she “tolerates” him at bath time.
• loves being outside. Which presents a problem because it is about 180 degrees outside every day and NOT pleasant to be outside.
• is starting Independent Playtime twice daily. Right now we are doing only 5 minutes and most of those 5 minutes have been spent crying. :( However, on Saturday she actually played more than cried! Progress!
• can run. The girl is faster than lightening.
• loves to play with balloons, balls, contents of the kitchen cabinet.
• is learning to fold her hands instead of touching her no-no’s.
• loves animals. Can tell you what the sheep, horse, dog, pig, cow, cat and duck say.
• has put two words together. “Cheese, pss!” or “Wa, pss!” Usually is something and then, Psss!
• folds her hands to pray with Mama and Dada before bed. So precious! She has been folding her hands to pray before meals for a while now.

Happy 14 months, Little Bug!
