14 months today.

It is truly incredible to see the boy grow and change. He now gives the biggest squeeziest hugs & his precious kisses come with the cutest 'smooch' sound.

He's throwing huge tantrums and testing boundaries. I can see how hard it is for him when he doesn't get his way- and how he is learning how best to cope with the emotions that come with not getting your way. Right now his solution doesn't work- but we're working on learning others.

He's smart. Animal sounds, words, and even some sentences. He says cow and moo, horsey, baaa (for sheep & also horses) woof, cats say 'owww'.
Raaawwweeerrr is followed by his version of 'were you scared?' Like his Dino flashlight says. He asks 'was that?' while he points. Ball, pee pee, baba, nana, papa, & mama. Today he said baby. He says 'two' after you say one. 'Up up' when he wants up and you're not paying attention, 'down' when he's done being up. Bite and 'dink' for drink. 'Bye bye' while he waves and hi. I'm continually amazed.

He's gentle with animals- although he enjoys grabbing his kitty's tails. Even with the puppy he softly puts his hands on her back. I love that he loves animals. Especially that he loves dogs.

He is full of joy! He's quick to smile, affectionate & funny! His joy is contagious. He has his moments of fits and crying but most of the time he's got a smile. He truly is a joy to be around.

Every day I am thankful for him. I am blessed to have him in my life. He is amazing and wonderful & I'm so happy that I get to be his mama.
