14 months

It is hard to believe that another month as flown by! If you are a frequent of the blog you have noticed that we have not had many entries this month. Been real busy around here with family, work, vacations, etc. More to come in the next few days.

This month was pretty consistent with last month, not a whole lot of drastic or outwardly changes or milestones, but still SO much fun!

- John went on his first family vacation to the Florida Keys (post to follow)
- We gave him shellfish for the first time with no reaction!
- He is using his words a lot better now and it gets easier everyday to communicate with him. This month he has added the following words to his vocubulary (note: these are just the ones that we can decipher, they are not actually words just yet, but we are well on the way): "eye" (as he forcefully jams his finger into your eyelid), "bird", "bath", "baby", "juice" (he has had this one for awhile, but I don't think I have mentioned in)and "bye-bye".
- He has a pretty nasty cold this month
- He catches on to things much quicker these days, it is pretty amazing.
- He is currently cutting a molar - I KNOW it this time!
- When he is looking for something he will put his palms up as if he is shrugging his shoulders while he looks for it, pretty cute!
- He plays peek-a-boo at the most random times
- Learned to wave and say "bye-bye"
- His sign language now consist of "all done" as well as "eat". I have not worked with him near as much as I wanted to, but he still caught on to these pretty quick.
- He can open the doors with the pull down levers - more baby proofing on the "honey-do" list.
- Went from a size 4/5 to a size 6 in shoes
