Taylor's 14 Month Update

Here is what Tay is up to at 14 Months:

• 2 more upper teeth have popped through and we are up to 10 - I think 2 more will be here soon on the bottom as the gums are very swollen.
• Since moving to my mom's he has been sleeping great. We have had a lot more nights where he sleeps a solid 12 hours.
• He is down to one nap a day - Naps around 1 pm for anywhere from 2-4 hours.
• Tay is finally starting to like books. His current favorite is the Very Busy Spider - The animal noises make him laugh and he mimics the dog and cow. He also loves "Windows to Color".
• He still loves to carry around his golf clubs and balls. Pretty much anything that is like a stick or ball he likes to carry around and gets really mad if you try to take it.
• Still in 12-18 month clothes. And he's getting a ton of hair. It is ramrod straight and I think we may need to trim it soon as someone thought he was a girl the other day.
• Tay is great a giving big kisses on the lips. Makes a big "MMMMMM" sound when he does.
• We have been working on "Where is your nose?" - He usually points to his mouth....Or just ignores us.
• He has said "fish" a few times. And randomly said "Target" the other day when Ashley was taking him there and he mimicked her. Tons of chatter and trying to talk but no real words yet. He is for sure trying and I think we are close.
• What has been amazing to me is how much he understands verbally with no visual cues. If we say "Can you dance?" he starts doing his cute little dance moves. If I ask if he wants to nurse he pulls on my shirt. When we say "Do you want to go play outside?" he walks over to the door. If we say "Go find Dada" or "Go find Sissy" - he walks through the house and finds that person. 
• Tay LOVES to play outside - Would stay out all day if we let him and gets mad when we take him in. He likes to just wander around and explore.
• He gives good high fives and hi/bye waving. 
• The boy knows what he wants and if you don't give it to him, he gets really mad and throws some good tantrums. He hates getting his diaper changed most of the time and can scream and squirm and make it really hard to change!
• We still nurse before bed and first thing in the morning. And he drinks frozen breast milk during the day and just about any food. Lately he has not liked fruit except for grapes but he has a good appetite and will eat most of what we give him.
• Tay is just at SUCH a cute age. He is sweet and funny and snuggly and inquisitive. We wish we could pause him because thus stage is just really fun!
