14 Months

Malachi

I can not believe that you are 14 months already!!  You are growing up and everyday doing something new.  It seems that I can not close my eyes because when I open them you have accomplished something else.

You now say:
yeah
no
how are you
mama, dada, Niah
thank you
all right
milk
more
uh oh
up
that/this
blue
ball

and just the other day when I took Niah to the bathroom you looked at Daddy and said, "Where mama go?"

When you are want something or frustrate or sometimes just for fun you scream loudly.  Your mommy does not like it.  At home I ignore you and you stop in public I cover your mouth.  

You are still a big eater!  Your favorites are strawberries, chicken, yogurt, and bread or crackers.  Your favorite dessert is ice cream.  You do not like bananas, raspberries, or corn.  You either like a food or hate food no in between with you.  When you are done you want to throw all your food on the floor and we have been working very hard trying to get you to stop.  You have started to feed yourself with a spoon and you love to feed yourself!

You are a climber and love to climb up on to chairs and stand on them.  You love to climb the stairs and anything that you can manage to get on to.  You stand all of the time but refuse to walk by yourself.  You have amazing fine motor skills and manage to put small objects through small holes.  You like to take things apart and put them back together.  You have a mechanical mind like your dad and when you look at your train you pick it up and will try and figure out how it works and even place your finger right on the wheel to stop it from going then let it start going again.

You love your sister!  Niah will now play with you for long amounts of time and you absolutely love it!  You two will play little games and just laugh and laugh.  It melts my heart.

 

You are one determined boy and you are set to go after what want.  There is no stopping or redirecting you, if you want something, you want it right away.  I am constantly trying to teach you patience and you are not a patient one but I know you will learn the difficult task it I am as determined as you  in life :-)  I know that you will do great things because if you set your mind to something, you will and do get it accomplished at all cost.

We love you Malachi!!
