14 MONTHS!

The little man is 14 months old.  Wow.  So what's he up to these days?

Discipline/Testing Limits

Well he's definitely a toddler... and a stinker.  He's just in the beginning stages of testing our limits.  He loves to stand on his rocking chair. We tell him over and over again to sit down please.  He does.  But then he gets right back up and stands up again. Stinker!  And we know, this is just the beginning.  He's also starting the independence thing where he wants to do everything himself.  I wanted to sweep up the mess he made at lunch and he grabbed the broom from me so that he could do it.


This is not a bad thing.  Maybe we can put this kid to work! :-)

He is also starting to throw fits.  Oh joy.  If we tell him to do something and he knows he's not supposed to, he will plop his bottom down and scream.  Fun.

Repeating a Favorite Word

He is on a kick where he's repeating his favorite word 'dada', constantly.  It's actually embarrassing when we go out in public because anyone that walks by will get called dada.  Men, women, children... they are all dada.  Even Tommy is dada.  We show him a picture of himself and he says, "DADA!"  I know he understands that I'm mama and that he's Tommy but I think he's just on a dada kick.  That's what I keep telling myself anyway. :)

Righty or Lefty? 

It's still too early to tell obviously but he's definitely a right handed eater and a left handed thrower.

Watch out! That's another habit I'm trying to get him to break.  He will stand less than a foot away from you and just peg the ball at your face.


How much does he understand? 


We are amazed at how much he understands.  My hairbrush was laying on the floor of the bathroom and he picked up and starting brushing his hair.  What? When did he pick that up? We better watch ourselves! No more cussing. :-)

 But look what he did to his hair! Now where did he pick up how to style it into a mowhawk! Ok I'm kidding. That was me.  But look at how LONG his hair has gotten!

 He shows us more and more of his personality every day. He LOVES to give hugs and disgustingly sloppy wet open mouth kisses.  He also loves to dance whenever he hears music.  He will do a squatting dance and a wiggle dance.  Videos to come of course.  

 He still loves throwing balls.

 He's quite stylish too.  What a stud.

 What a silly boy! Always entertaining!

Happy 14 Months, Thomasaurus!
