the last month has been a big one physically and developmentally. you are one very fast and confident walker and want to explore every inch of the house with your new freedom. shoes are fairly new to you since we only started wearing them recently and you like them. you will go to the shoe closet find your nikes and place them on top of your feet and then bring them to the sliding glass door and bang on the door to let me know you want to go outside. and when i fold laundry you will find socks and also try to put them on your feet by placing them on top, it's so cute and amazing to watch those wheels turn. outside you will pick up flower petals from the ground and then hold them up to the flower as if you are "fixing" it. you are interacting with toys, you especially like bowie's peppa pig collection and LOVE your moose stuffie. you also seem to be drawn to things with wheels (you must get this from daddy or is it a boy thing?). you love to make car sounds when you play with your car, trucks or trains.
you have had a rough month when it comes to teething. you got 6 teeth coming in (2 on the bottom and 4 molars). boy do those molars hurt! i can't tell if you are less interested in food because of your teeth or if you are starting to hit the age where you are becoming pickier with food, or both??? either way, you used to be my great eater, but i am striking out in the food department with you. one thing is for sure, you love your milk and ba-ba (bottle). we have been slowly trying to transition you to a sippy cup only, but you refuse to drink anything other than water out of your cup and will push away or throw your cup if it has milk in it. in fact, you will demand your ba-ba and point to the kitchen to let me know you want it.
you are talking up a storm (in your own language). you will walk around and chat it up and use your hands and tell great stories. but you are also using some new words as well, like "jay" (what i call jarad), deer, bear, banana and making some animal sounds like "moo" "meow" and "woof woof." you also love to tell rosie (our roomba vacuum) to "stop" and the hand motion as well. your naps may be starting to transition, you still very much are ready for your morning nap about 2-3 hours after you wake up, but you are fighting afternoon naps. i have been trying out some morning activities with you to see if you are ready to push your morning nap and think about giving up your afternoon nap? you go to bed easily and bedtime is anywhere from 7:30-8pm and you get up at 7am. you sleep through the night, but are a light sleeper. we have been unsuccessful with having you go to the kids room at the gym with bowie while we work out. which makes me wonder how dad and i will ever have a date night without having to put you to bed first?
