14 Months - November 2005
November 29 - December 5, 2005

Here I am on Thanksgiving, being what Mommy and Daddy call
a "Standy Stander". I get so excited when I stand alone. I took
this one step further this weekend as I learned to stand without pulling up
on something. I just bend and stand right up. However, I get so
excited that I eventually topple into a laughing heap.
I have my 15 month appointment this week. Maybe I
will weigh enough to have Daddy turn my car seat around so that I can be
forward facing. I think that there will also be shots at this
appointment - I am not excited about that at all.
I have been coloring a lot the past few days. I am
getting quite proficient at scribbling. And I am getting less tempted
to eat the crayons.
I have more teeth coming in and they have been causing me
a little discomfort. They may also have attributed to my slightly
runny nose but who knows Mommy likes to blame everything on teething.
What will she think of once all my teeth are in?

I love walking with my walker toy. I especially like
that I can chase Wilson while I walk. Daddy has been working on
walking with me by only holding one of my hands - he's convinced I will be
going solo in no time!
Today I was pretending to wash my animals with a wash
cloth. I washed their faces, paws, and bellies. Sometimes I can
even wipe my own hands and face - for real.
I am excited about this Thanksgiving - I will get to eat
the same foods as everyone else. I wonder what I will like?
Lately everyone keeps telling Mommy that I am a mini-her.
Do we really look that much alike?
"Ah, Elmo..."

I am pretty fearless when it comes to climbing. I
have learned to crawl all the way down the stairs. I also learned how
to get off of Mommy and Daddy's bed (it's really high) - I turn around, grab
the blanket, and repel down the side. Pretty ingenious eh?
I got my second (and final) flu shot for this year
yesterday and I cried for only about 2 seconds. I didn't even cry when
the nurse came into the room like I had been doing in the past.
I like giving big hugs to Mommy and my stuffed animals.
I also really like dancing to The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Yes, this picture did run twice.

I have a few exciting things to report this week.
First, language-related - I have learned a new baby sign, Quack, for ducks.
I did it for the first time while I was at the Botanic Gardens with Mommy
and Great Grandma Gigi. Ducks really like Cheerios by the way. I
also said "Happy" for the first time yesterday while Mommy was feeding me
lunch.
Second, physical-related - I learned how to get down off
of the big chair in my room by turning around and going down backwards.
I then learned to apply this technique to the stairs but I have only been
practicing on the bottom 3 stairs under Mommy's close supervision!
Lastly, I have started giving a lot of "loving" to Mommy
and Daddy. On Sunday morning I crawled into Mommy's lap and cuddled,
really cuddled, for the first time. Since then I have wanted to cuddle
more every day.
I really like things that are soft and when I discover
such items I really like snuggling with them and rubbing them on my face.
Mommy hasn't put my ladybug costume away yet and every time I crawl past it
I pause and nuzzle the sleeve or leg.
"Ready for Winter"

(1 year, 9 weeks)
Wilson and I were Lady Bugs for Halloween. We had a
Halloween party at our house - Sammy, Aidan, and Madison and their parents
came over. It was fun. Mommy took me trick or treating. We
didn't go to many houses only to the neighbors that we know. I liked
playing in the candy bowl at our house.
I have been really fascinated with pumpkins this month.
I shriek and point and wave whenever I see them. I dressed up as a
pumpkin earlier in the week.
I am starting to stand alone for longer periods of time.
Today I think it was the longest yet. I am pretty fearless when it
comes to climbing and exploring although I am cautious when I am on beds or
couches and get close to the edge.
