14 Months

He is finally walking. The progression to walking isn't how I always pictured it. The commercials and movies make it seem like one day they just start walking. It wasn't like that. It began by him standing on his own then maybe taking one step. It was happening so gradually I couldn't really say the day he started walking. This past week however I noticed a big difference. He walks much farther and for the most part chooses to walk over crawling.

Once he is walking 100% he will go to the next room at daycare called the Tinfant room. In this room, they eat at the table, give up bottles, and sleep on cots. They also give up the morning nap (I will encourage a morning and afternoon nap on the weekends for my sake = ) In this room he will learn more 'big boy' things. I am excited for him to go but sad on the other hand that he continues to grow so quickly. I always knew they grew fast but its different once you experience it yourself. It definitely makes me realize that I do want another child (maybe even 2 more, maybe). I'm not ready to get pregnant now or even soon but I will try again.

As for his vocabulary, his new thing is to say uh-oh. He hasn't grasped the context of using it yet but every morning when he wakes up I hear uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh over the monitor. He will also say down (or try to) after you say up. He says the other typical things to like mama and dada. He is mostly eating big people food. We are giving his real fruit as opposed to the stage 2. I still give him the veggies because he doesn't eat real veggies that well.

I would love to write more but he is demanding my attention now so I have to go. Until later....
