Happy Monthday to Me!

I turned 14 months old on Sunday! Here are somethings you should know about me at 14 months.

I am finally an exclusive walker (well, I guess I do still crawl a teeny bit most days).

My mouth is home to two bottom teeth and three top teeth, with one more topper on the way.

I am turning into a signing machine. I can sign eat, more, all done, milk, water, diaper, sleepy, church, help, please, and nurse (yup, I still ask every day).

"Moo" (moon), "ite" (outside), and "bubu" (bubbles) are three words I've recently learned. I have also become much more liberal with the use of the word "no". Next to "Mama" and "Dada", it's probably the word I use most every day. My parents estimate that I say "Mama" about 100 times each dady, "Dada" 75 times, and "no" 50 times. To be fair, the "no" tally is so high because I like to string my "no"s together...as in "no, no, no, no".

Two of my favorite things are the great outdoors and water. Put the two together, and you have one super happy baby!
Every time I see a Starbucks cup I say "Dada". Even if it's being carried by an unfamiliar middle aged woman in Target.

I really enjoy helping Mommy around the house. I can throw away trash for her (don't worry...she only lets me handle clean trash), help her carry laundry, and pick up dirt and leaves the doggies track inside.

I know several of my books by name. If you promise to forgive the crazy hair and terrible editing, I'll let you watch this video as proof:

One of my favorite books to read right now is this concept book on transportation my friend, Lilly, brought me from Japan.

Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie have gotten really good at making up words for it...you know, since they aren't quite fluent in Japanese.<>
