14 months!

At 14 months Gavin is growing like a weed and is just as cute as can be! He loves to play, and get others to play with him.


 laugh with her. It seems like she changes daily. Pretty much understands everything we say to her like giving her directions, or asking her to point to something. She still loves to read. Lately she wants to read the same three books over and over and over. I think I read Llama Llama Misses Mama and Kisses for daddy 12 times each one day. Its just to hard to resist her holding up a book, climbing onto my lap and pointing at the book with a huge smile.

She is really starting to get attached to some toys. Her baby, blanket and pillow pets are the toys of the minute right now. She still loves to be outside in the sandbox, swinging or sliding down the slide.

She can point to almost all of her body parts and make the animal noises of 3 or 4 animals. She also loves to play with my purses, shoes and sun glasses (what a little girly girl!)



She loves giving regular and Eskimo kisses and loves to snuggle, and sing songs. She especially loves Row Row Row your Boat, and Head Shoulders Knees and Toes. She does the actions and will keep the beat. Its pretty cute!



Along with the previous words she was saying she has added Done, Bye, Belly, Bear, Ball, Bath and Side (Outside) to her vocabulary in the last month. She says most of them a lot, but not regularly. He is so chill all the time and doesn't let a ton bother him. He is still eating very well. We are down to one bottle after lunch and one before bed. He eats almost everything right now, but I can slowly see him becoming more of a fussy eater. 90% of what he eats is what we eat. Sleeping is also going very well. Most nights he sleeps from 7:30-7:00 pretty much without waking up. If he does wake, he talks for awhile then will put himself back to sleep. (knock on wood:)

I can also see him trying to assert more of his own will during the day. he has started to protest a little if something is taken away from him, or if we are making him do something she doesn’t want to do. For example tonight after dinner Gavin wanted to go outside to take out peanut. Nate and Grace took Peanut out without taking Gavin with, so he started crying with big alligator tears, until he came back in.

Right now Gavin has 3 teeth but the 4th is almost in.

Right now his favorite toy is the bus and the farm, and he loves his blankie. His favorite book is butterflies bath and his favorite song is Alligator farm.  he loves trucks and my shoes.
