Dear Tiny,
You are almost 14 months and have learned a lot of new tricks in the past 2 weeks. You are finally sitting up on your own. It took you a long time to figure this out but we are so thrilled you worked it out. Today you pulled yourself up on your car for the first time and you also learned how to climb into your car all by your self. Daddy says that you also pulled your self up on the couch for the first time too.

 You are quite the daredevil. When you are sitting on the couch you think you are big enough to get off on your own. Sometimes you can do it safely and sometimes you tumble and go bonk. This scares me and your dad.

You have started giving me and daddy the best snuggles ever! I love it when you come up to me when I am lying on the floor and snuggle on my leg or tummy. It is super sweet and reminds me of our snuggle naps we had when you really were a tiny guy. I miss them.

You are talking up a storm these days. I love hearing you repeat new words after me. I am still standing by my theory that you will be speaking sentences before you are walking. You have become quite the scooter and you are super fast at it now. I love watching your body bobble down the hallway while you laugh. It makes me smile.

You have a new best friend Abby who you get to play with 2 days a week. You were unsure about her at first and had many melt downs when she would touch your toys - it was hard for me not to laugh at you pancaking over and crying. But now you love to play, share, and chase Abby around the house.

I love going on our weekly adventures. Weather it be to the aquarium, the zoo,  the children's museum, a new park, or something totally new to both of us. You are so adventures at the park these days. You like to go down the slide all by yourself - because you are a BIG boy now. You still love to swing and swing.

I love your love of books. Your Nana would be proud. It is so cute to see you sitting on the floor reading your books by yourself. You have grown to love music class and playing with puppets and instruments. It is fun to see you changing daily.

You are working on 2 molars this week and they are making you sad. It is hard for me to see you be in pain. Your 5-6am wake up calls and lack of good naps might kill me. Sorry friend this mama is not very good early in the mornings. You now have 10 teeth.

You are quite the picky eater already. You make me work hard to come up with new ways to get you to try new foods or even to get you to eat a veggie. You are for sure wining this food battle. You love yogurt, cheese, grapes, and hot dogs, and spaghetti. That is most days, sometimes they throw a curve ball and wont even eat any of those foods. Silly boy.

You are such a blessing in our lives. Your daddy and I have loved you from the moment we knew you were coming. Thank you for being apart of our family. We love you so much. Thank you for making me one proud mama.

Love,
Mama
