Andrew @ 14 Months

- Tooth #2 is finally making it's way in, next to the first one. Still no sign of any others, though. They're taking their sweet time!

- He can say "cookie" (although it really means anything you eat and he says it anytime he's in the kitchen), "mommy" (although usually he calls me "daddy"), "Elmo" (yes, it's happening again!), "ball," "all done," something that sounds like "hold you," and "doggie." It seems like he's talking all the time at home, now, although not as much around other people. He can also imitate a lot of sounds when he hears us say them.

- He's been waking up once or twice a night since we've been in the new house, but he'll easily go back to sleep if we just replace his paci. (I think it has more to do with teething/ not really feeling great than anything else.) Usually he will sleep until 6:15 or so, then maybe go back to sleep until around 6:45 or 7.

- He loves to walk now, and doesn't really like to be held at all. He is an explorer, always wanting to be outside or discovering new things.

- He's starting to love stuffed animals. He has a big stuffed tiger by the rocking chair in his room and as soon as he's done nursing in the morning, he will point to it and we'll snuggle with it in the chair for a few minutes. He really just loves to bury his head into them.

- He loves to eat-- anything. And he eats more than his sister does. I can't think of any food he doesn't like at this point. I usually fix him a plate just like Leah's and he does pretty well eating whatever it may be. He's still working on the spoon and fork, but he has a pretty good handle on it. One of his favorites now is yogurt-- he eats a whole cup & cries when it's gone. If he sees something he wants to eat, he will point his little finger or spoon like a magic wand and grunt until he gets some. I am still nursing him in the morning and at night before bed.

- He is definately Momma's boy. He generally prefers me over his Daddy. He has a very short attention span when it's time to play on his own before he wants me to hold him or give him another idea of something else to play.
