14 months

My sweet Tatum,

You turned 14 months last week. I didn't even realize it and your daddy had to remind me that you weren't 13 months any longer!

I missed writing to you at 13 months. I think between you turning one, your accident, and the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I let that one get away. I took plenty of pictures though!

At 14 months,

you have taken your first steps and they were to Daddy.

You are still not yet a walker, and scoot on your bottom, but we're okay with that. Honestly, I think I'll miss those days when you don't scoot anymore as it will mean you are one step closer to true toddlerhood.

I love that you are my baby.

Your newest words include:

wow, no way, outside, mama, mmm, baby.

You are oh, so cute when you say them!

Your favorite food continues to be blueberries and you'd eat them every meal if I let you. You are a better eater than your brother and sister and I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way!

You love to play with baby dolls, which is super sweet to watch.

You are fierce in your own right, swiftly moving to where you want to go, batting things away when you don't want them, pinching and pulling at us, playfully (but a habit I am trying to break you of).

Your laugh is infectious, your cuddles and kisses melt my heart.

You are coming into your own...

and I cherish every waking moment that I get to be your mommy.
