14 Months Old!

Cute smiley boy, until...

Liam remembers he must get his moose! He has gotten so big over the past year that he is now towering over his moose... using brute force to reign in him in!

What does a 14-month old do? Here's a brief look:

• He's a picky eater... very sporadic eating across food groups. Although when he decides he is hungry for something... bring it on! He can eat any of the following and still want more within one sitting: whole mini bagel, a whole hotdog, an entire can of fruit, entire banana...



• Getting more teeth... molars have been trying to make an appearance all month



• Walking more and more on his own. Just this last week there have been many more 'zombie' baby steps where Liam is walking all by himself.



• Liam has started pushing hands away when they try to help... many times that is also accompanied by a big fuss or scream



• Favorite books: Beatiful oops, five little ducks, little white kitten and the big red ball, knuffle bunny and pigeon series, the mitten... still LOVES books. Will sit and read/look at books for 20-30 minutes all by himself :)



• Loves when you sing songs to him. Current favorites are "itsy bitsy spider" and "wheels on the bus"



• Loves playing hide and seek games. He will crawl away and loves to have people come find him!



• Loves peeking under things and putting items in and out/ on and off... etc.



• Just recently started 'hiding' things places and then waving his hands and saying 'ahh' with an uprising tone (as if saying 'where is it?') and then finding the thing he hid. This is a big favorite in the car to entertain himself! (video will follow soon!)



• Enjoys driving his vehicles (turtle, hippo and car) all around the house.



• Wave bye-bye and blows kisses



• Loves playing outside with the rocks, grass and at the playground



• Likes watching nature shows on tv!



• Is getting into everything... cupboards, shelves, boxes... anything new... he has to investigate



• Liam still likes to sit back and see how others do something before he jumps right in... but give him a few minutes and he is right in there having fun!



• Likes finding belly buttons



• Is now on whole-milk only... done with breastfeeding



• Likes to get attention by screaming, making loud noises and odd noises... big smile when you investigate



• More and more temper tantrums... complete with arching, head butting, screaming and rolling on the floor... Liam knows what he wants and is not afraid to tell you he doesn't like something!


• Likes to play with and try to work zippers!
