Well, my little 1 year old is going on 10. It's official. I can't stop this girl from tripling her age every single month. So here goes nothing. Here's to another month!
Happy 14 Months Aubrey Lynn!
14 Month Highlights:
-You talk ALL the time! We don't understand 99% of what you are saying, but you are a non-stop babble machine! You look at us right in the eyes, and just babble away with your head cocked to the side as if you are telling us super important. Cracks us up every time!
-Despite not understanding most of what you say, this month your vocabulary has increased! You say "Mama" a lot more frequently (yay!!), and have started saying Tia, dog, "ahhh dooo" (all done) yes, and no a whole lot more.
-It was time for another dual well visit to the MD. Not one of your favorite things. Partly because we end up waiting so long, naked, in an exam room, and all you want to do is get down and explore. But mama just thinks that's gross. So it's all hands on deck to think of ton of songs an as many books as we can to keep you entertained!
-You love to eat good food. As in, you will eat your body weight in things you love. Great example...black beans!

-We had our first ever Friday Family Movie Night and it was so much fun! I want to make it a monthly tradition, but we'll see if we can stick to it! We watched Inside Out which was a huge hit for everyone. Isabella was glued to the movie from start to finish. You watched a good portion of it, but mostly ran around the room and played with toys on the floor towards the end. All in all, a winning friday family night!
-Perhaps your all time favorite thing to do this month is go outside. You will go to the front door, bang on it, and if we don't come over to take you out, you will slump down in a puddle on the floor and throw a baby tantrum! It's hard not to laugh b/c it's so cute how devastated you are. But we certainly don't want to encourage that! Either way, you LOVE being outside, taking rides in the car, running on the driveway, swinging in the back, or just sitting on the porch watching things. Even when it's cold, you don't care!
Sleeping: There are good days and there are somewhat sleepless days. Bedtime is 7pm (sometimes a bit earlier if you didn't take an afternoon nap), and you usually sleep about 11 hours, with 1-2 wake ups to eat. Luckily, many nights you are able to sleep from 7pm til 5 am, eat for about 10-15 minutes, and then go back to sleep for an hour or 2. You nap for an hour to 1.5 hours in the morning, usually around 9:30 or 10, and then again in the afternoon for an hour or so. But the afternoon nap is really questionable, and some days you won't nap at all, or if you do, it's a measly 20 minutes.
That being said, this month started out with you teething hard core which woke you up multiple times and you wanted us to rock you for comfort. Fast forward 2 weeks of that and you then just woke up and didn't want to put yourself back to sleep. Hence about 2 weeks of us rocking for 1-2 hours off and on at 3 am. Not fun. So then we decided to do the oh so fun "sleep training" (AKA cry it out). Also so not fun listening to you cry for 45 minutes at 3 am. But after 3 nights, you rememebered how to put yourself back to sleep. Thankful mama over here. Just hoping it sticks. Until next time those molars start popping through. Oh boy!

Eating/Breastfeeding: You know what you like and you make it well known when there is something you don't (usually by screeching really loud and throwing it on the floor!). I can't get you to eat vegetables to save my life; you won't touch most purees of any kind (even applesauce!) and real veggies get spit out quicker that I can blink. Favorite foods this month: greek yogurt, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, green smoothie (hallelujah you'll get some greens in this way), squeezies, cheese, black beans, ham, and roasted chicken (most days, other days it's the worst thing you've ever tasted...go figure!).

14 Month Stats:
Height: 29.5 in (approx 40th percentile)
Weight: 18.5 lbs (juuuuust below the 5th percentile)
Teeth: You got 1 molar this month, though I was convinced it was all 4 primary molars popping through at the same time *yeah, that was rough!!*
*Wearing mostly 9 month and 12 month things. It's funny how 6 month pants fit you so well around the waist but they are so short on you, while 12 month pants are a good length but just fall right off!

Aubrey's Firsts this Month:
-Climbing on and off the couch, the futon, the playroom chair, Bella's bed, pretty much anything you can sit on!
