14 Months Old



At Fourteen Months Old Abigail... 

...sleeps from 9pm to 9:30am! This past month the bedtime has been pretty irregular with family in town, wedding activities, camping, and a trip to Wisconsin. I'm liking the fact that we can put her to bed "later" and then she'll sleep in for us. We get more time together as a family in the evenings that way. Otherwise it would be supper and bedtime pretty much. She also is on one nap a day: about 1pm to 3pm. 

...squints when she smiles. All you have to do is say "Smile!" and she squints right up.

...kisses, kisses, kisses.  She will kiss people, books, stuffed animals and dolls. She tried to kiss some kids in a shoe store in Wisconsin last weekend. It's cute, but it has her daddy worried...

...eats mostly table food. Her favorite foods right now: Cheerios, bananas, pretzels, toast with strawberry jam, crackers, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken [nuggets], and carrots. She still lets us give her pureed food, so we try to stick spoonfuls of veggies or fruit in her mouth at each meal. 

...is talking louder! She brought it up a decibel or two. Some of her new words include: nana (banana), rain, up, wee, wawa (water), bubba (any type of bottle), [buzz] for car , boat, truck, beep, toot, [pant] for a dog. 

...loves swinging. She will point at a swing and whine and say "wee, wee" when she wants to swing. 

...went swimming with crying. She was terrified but then we went camping and spent 4 days in the pool and she got used to it. I think it helped that the water was warmer and there were a lot of children to watch. 


...is walking -- no RUNNING! She will pull up on something, let go and RUN. Sometimes she gets all the way into another room before she falls dives unto her hands. It's definitely not a "controlled" type of walk or run yet.


...is climbing up the stairs and everything else.  "up" she says by everything: the couch, a chair, the shelf in her bathtub, the door when daddy is on the other side, the bed...

...wears 18 months  to 2T clothes, size 4 shoes , and size 3 or 4 diapers (and cloth diapers).
