14 Months!

I didn't realize we were at 14 months until I took a second look at the calendar today- so hard to believe...

Vake, at 14 months you:

• weigh about 32 pounds and are (I think) approaching 34 inches;
• wear anywhere between a 2t and a 4t in clothes and a size six diaper;
• are officially a full-time walker (although you will crawl if you really need to get somewhere in a hurry);
• love to clap;
• are interested in things that make noise or are interactive (your pretend cell phone is a huge hit);
• act as though you recognize both your father and your mother in pictures;
• are babbling nonstop- if only we knew what you were trying to tell us;
• think that shadows are very interesting;
• like to play with both dogs;
• love swim class and gymnastics class;
• have become a super hugger;
• can hold a milk cup by yourself;
• likes to roll a ball and follow it; and
• thinks balloons are the greatest things on earth.

We are hoping that this is the month you really decide to start talking to us- even though Grandmary says that she waited for me to start talking and I never stopped after that!
