I read a friends blog the other day and it was all about how fast time is flying. I have to agree with her 100%. Where does time go...i believe into my little boys body and brain.....because they are growing like a weed!
He turned 14 months last week...and while big monumental stuff to announce are getting few and far between i still like to do this so i remember what was going one...like my own ages and stages reference for my next kids, and i plan to make a book when he is 2 of his first 2 years accomplishments/likes/dislikes/etc.
So without further adu:
He is WALKING...now i must say not all the time, but he will walk and take steps like a champ now a days. We went camping last weekend and for 3 days he pushed and ran behind a Tonka Truck and his little 4-wheeler which much have done this boy some good, cause on Sunday when we got home we tried, like we usually do, to get him to walk to me or Brandon and he actually did it!! What a seriously happy day! Makes my heart happy and sad at the same time. My baby isn't so "baby" anymore. What happened! Just last year he was little enough to pack in one arm, now he is ready to walk on his own.
He is FINALLY eating better. I talked to a nurse the other day at the health department and she said he is low on Iron, which is common in children who drink lots of milk...ya he drinks lots. I guess he is filling up on calories from the milk so he doesn't want to eat. Duh! Why didn't this thought cross my mind?? So this week i have cut WAYYYYY back on milk...he only needs 16 oz so that is all he has been getting until he eats his meal. Holy Smokes what a difference! I am not saying this is a fix all, but it really helped around our house. He is eating like he used to, which is just what this mommy needed!!
While we are talking about eating here is a not all inclusive list, but a start on what he likes/dislikes
Likes: LOVES blueberries(he will eat so many they stain his bum), hot dogs, baloni, any fruit, and any veggie ( i am spoiled i know) He loves cracker, and string cheese. Yogurt is a favorite along with cottage cheese
Dislikes: Bread, its really hard for me to get him to eat a sandwich, eggs in any way shape or form, pancakes...there might be more but i am not remembering them
He is a gabber. whenever we are driving, which is often, he just talks and talks and talks. He is always making sound, weather is is a truck sound, train sound, squeels, or jabbers. He hasnt learned any new words lately, but for how much he jabbers, i am sure when he does learn to talk it will be constant.
His Favorite toys are: His rocking dog, walk/ride John Deere Tractor, His 4-wheeler, and his little people barn. (or any other toy that the kids i am watching have in thier hands...he is not so good at sharing yet.)
I think that is all for now.
