Happy 14 Month Old Birthday Tayson!!

Today is your 14 month old birthday!! I can't believe that you are 14 months old, already. It seems like just a few weeks ago that I was still pregnant, waiting on you to come. These 14 months have flown by sooo fast. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze you at this age, but I just know that the future hold so much fun for us and I can't wait to see what happens next!

There are a lot of things that I would like to remember about you at this point. It seems like so many things have changed since you turned 13 months old, and that was only a month ago! In the past month you have:

1. Learned how to walk
2. Gotten your 1st haircut
3. Learned how to clap
4. Cut 4 new teeth (all this week, one on the bottom and three on the top)
5. Learned how to say dada
6. Started trying to feed yourself with your fork and spoon

These are other things that I want to remember about you at this 14 month mark:
1. You love to laugh. When we go into a store, if the people near us aren't looking at you or talking to you, you start laughing really loud until you get their attention. This is really funny to see!!
2. You have learned how to walk very quickly. It seemed like overnight, you just took your first step and then you were off. Now you can walk pretty far and you have only been doing it for about a week!
3. You only want to eat grown up food. You refuse to eat any baby food besides cereal. You always want what everyone else is eating.
4. You are in the 90th percentile for weight and height. You are almost 35" long and weigh about 27lbs. You are a BIG boy!!
5. One of your first words was Dixie (Aunt Taylor's dog) and now you refer to all dogs as Dixie's. Our labs, Ace and Lexi have become "Dixie".
6. You still do not sleep through the night. I am not quite sure why this is, I think maybe because you just like to get up and see mommy every few hours?? (At least that's what I tell myself)
7. I am still nursing you, only at night! This is because you refuse to drink milk or formula. I have tried both several times and you won't have ANYTHING to do with them. We even tried chocolate milk!! So...since you have to have some sort of milk, here we are!!
8. You love to play peek-a-boo after your bath. You pull your towel over your face until we say "Where's Tayson?" and then you pull it down really fast so we will say "boo"!!

This is a picture that was taken a few hours after I had Tayson!

This is another picture taken in the hospital!!
