14 months...

Wow! On October 5th it was officially your 14th month of life! Time sure has flown by! I feel like last month went slower, yet I look back on all of your changes and realize how fast it's really gone by. It's been so fun seeing how much more affectionate you've become, and I've definitely enjoyed each and every one of the snuggles we've had. You had your first case of Roseola which had me concerned since you had a 3 day fever, and after it broke, the next morning you had a rash all over your body. You didn't seem to mind as you walked all around the doctors office in your diaper showing Dr. Wendy all of your pretty new spots. Thankfully you were a champ through it and it was gone 2 days later. You're such a happy girl no matter the fever, you still smiled and played as normal. It made me less concerned seeing how well you handled every single minute. 

Here's the new changes over the last month:

-you're learning to give hugs (english & spanish)
-when you want to take something from someone and they won't let you, you begin to make this face that looks like you're using all your strength to keep it... And now you're learning to throw a tantrum over it too. You're teaching me to ask you for the item, and you kindly hand it over to me... good manners!
-you climb onto the couch without any help (now if we can just get you to not stand by the edge of the couch..)
-you've learned how to climb off the couch with a little bit of assistance 
-you pivot so well when you walk
-you walk nonstop and always carry around your sippy cup, or some toy in hand wherever you go
-you now squat all the time, and it's so cute watching you do it to look at things or talk to preemo
-you know how to get into your rocking chair (my old rocking chair) and sit in it properly!! (it's pretty cute watching you "read" a book in it)
-you've become determined to climb your bookshelf if something is ontop of it that you want 
-you walk around with my phone to your ear, "talking" to people. 
-you've begun the "ill drop the toy and you pick it up for me... Over and over again" game.
-you're learning to how nod to say yes, rarely, but you have done it!
-you've now started to be a little more picky when it comes to eating food. I've had to now become a little bit more creative when feeding you
-you're learning to sniff when things go up to your nose. 
-you're learning depth perception instead of head diving off the couch, you tend to stare and take more precaution
-you've gotten your 7th tooth in!
-you went to your first amusement park (Hershey Park) and had an amazing time, taking your first choo choo train ride with your daddy and I, Aunt Lauren, Tia Ariel, Tio Gavie, Grammy, and Pop Pop! You even rang the bell at the end to announce that you enjoyed it so much!
