14 Months

Here's what Lauren is up to at 14 months:

• She is walking/running all over.  More comfortable inside, starting to get better on grassy surfaces.
• She says the following: ut oh, Dada, Mama, ball, ba-ba (bottle), ca (car), hi, yea, and sneaks in some other shockers once in a while.  She signs please and more, waves hello and goodbye, blows kisses, and shakes her head for yes or no.  
• She understands a lot of what you tell her now.
• She loves books - pulling them off the shelf, looking through them herself babbling, bringing them to you to read to her.
• She loves to take anything out - like pulling the books off the shelf, emptying boxes of things in the pantry, pulling all the toys out of her basket toys.  
• She HATES water - the bathtub, the pool, the hose.
• She has turned into an awesome napper - takes a solid 2-3 hour nap each afternoon.  
• She has 2-3 bottles a day.  I'm trying to transition her to soy milk with no luck.  We've tried two different types and frankly, Luke and I love them!  So if we can get her on board we'll be a soy milk house from now on.  
• She's a pretty good eater but is getting a little picky.  I'm working really hard at finding more and more things she can have just like everyone else....or else we'll become a dairy free house for main meals - I feel bad that she's "left out" all the time. 
• She is hilarious - her personality is finally starting to come through and its adorable.
• She will do just about anything Luke does - which has its perks and its downside :)
