(Coincidentally, it is exactly 6 months until my due date, a reminder that if this baby is born between Aug 29th-31st, I'll have 2 kids without real half birthdays. A seemingly silly factoid to you, terribly sad news to me.)
Here's my girl in a nutshell at 14 months:
- Still super-obsessed with all things Daddy. If there's a picture of him in the room, she will find it and point him out (nevermind that I'm also in 99% of the pictures he's in.) She talks about him all day long. She just loves him (I guess I don't really blame her...)
- She had her 1st haircut today. And by haircut, I mean that I made one little cut to the hair at the nape of her neck so she didn't have a baby-mullet anymore. I saved the tiny little lock of hair for her baby book :)
- She has developed her own little language, full of all sorts of jibber-jabber that we don't understand. She tries to tell me so many things every day. She even sings along to songs in her little language.
- She's the proud owner of 9 teeth, as 1 of her molars made an appearance this month.
- She loves to "find Mommy's baby", i.e. lift up my shirt to point out that the baby is in my belly. Not that she really understands what that means. In fact, she might just think "belly" and "baby" are interchangeable words.
- Probably the biggest change in our world with this little lady are the tantrums. They are in full effect, folks. Like, big time Terrible Twos. She has started throwing tantrums about everything. If she doesn't get her way, watch out. We figure the best defense at this point is just distraction, so we try to get her attention on something she is allowed to do/have/etc. On rare occasion, the tantrum turns into a full-on meltdown. And we just laugh at her. Because, honestly, it's funny. We don't know why she's crying; heck, she doesn't know why she's crying. She'll just stand in the middle of the room with the most dramatic little sob (wonder who she gets the drama from...) I don't foresee an end to this anytime soon, so I guess we'll just have to ride it out.
Random pics from her 14th month (including goofball smiles and middle-of-the-floor snack time.)
