14 Months!

Our little guy is already 14 months old!  I feel like I say it every month, but he is growing up way too fast!  He is a such a special little boy and we enjoy every minute with him, even those cranky moments!

At 14 Months:

• Reed is a nonstop talker.  He will basically repeat everything we say.  He loves to say ball, golf, mama, dada, book, and baby (my favorite word to hear him say).  He will say Mike Mike, Kath, Nana, Granddaddy (pronounced "gundah"), Marc, Karlie (Kar Kar), Chattooga (Tooga tooga), blue (boo), catch, throw and many, many more.
• He can make the sounds of a cow (frequently used when at Chick-fil-a), a cat, a lion, and a dog.
• When I go to get him from his crib in the morning he smiles and then immediately stands up and says "book" and then he points to the car on his wall and says "car".  So cute!
• He loves Elmo.  What kid doesn't?
• He has started throwing his food and the kid has an arm, so unfortunately we have food across the room sometimes.  He has also been working at getting better using the spoon on his own.  He will take a few bites, but then he just prefers to play with it.  We'll get there eventually.
• This kid loves Chick-fil-A, I mean, he is our kid, lol!  He can basically eat an entire chicken breast on his own.  He also loves seeing the cows there.  He mooed the first five minutes we were there yesterday.  He also begs for my cup when he sees the cows on it.
• He absolutely loves airplanes.  If he hears a plane, he will point to the sky and try to find it.  Just recently, he has started calling them cars, lol!  I am working on helping him tell the difference.
• He has all four of his molars in now, although they still seem to be bothering him, because he has his fingers in his mouth all the time.
• He has started to sit down when we ask him to.  He even does the backing up thing when he wants to sit in our laps and read books. 
• He thinks that giving someone a kiss just means making the muah sound.  Too cute!  He will give us a kiss every now and then.
• He shocked us by not being bothered at all by his Halloween costume.  He pulled on the ears of his hat a little bit but then he didn't bother them anymore.
• He is a little monkey, but we love him!
• He loves being outside.  And, he especially loves it when the kids next door come out to play.  He chases them around and laughs hysterically at them.
• He absolutely does not sleep very well unless he is in his bed.  If we stay the night away from home, he always ends up in the bed with us which is very unfortunate.  Unfortunately, it isn't very fun for any of us.  The days of him snuggling at night are over....he never stops moving throughout the night.
• He has a book of baby's first words and he will turn from page to page and point at each picture and wants us to tell him what it is.
• He is a little dancer.  If music is playing then he is dancing!

14 Months!

We are now at the age where we listen to mommy when she says sit down.  Thank goodness!



Silly goose!  He loved rocking in the rocking chair.



This is basically how his room looks all the time.  No books allowed on the cubbies.  They have to all be out!

And, a little Halloween sneak before the Halloween post!
