14 Months Old!

Braden is 14 months old!



He is such a fun kiddo and he makes us laugh all the time.  He is so smart and we are always amazed at how much he learns every day!

Stats

As of this morning, Braden was 21 pounds!  Such a big boy...

Eating and Sleeping Habits

  • He finally started sleeping through the night!  It only took 13.5 months... In fact, he started doing it when we were in the hospital with Logan.  Good boy!  He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm and gets up around 7:00am.
  • He still takes two naps a day.  His first nap is at 10am for about 90 minutes or so.  His second nap is somewhere between 1:30 and 3:00pm for another 90 minutes.
  • He eats ALL THE TIME.  And, he loves snacks.  He knows where they are kept in the pantry, and if you leave the pantry door open he grabs whatever he wants... 
  • He really isn't that picky, but we usually have to start with veggies first, or he will bypass them for everything else.

Development

  • He has discovered climbing and tries to climb anything and everything.  Luckily, he hasn't started trying to climb out of his crib yet.
  • His vocabulary is growing daily!  Some of his words include: bye bye, more, no, nap, dog, duck, snack, juice, Mommy, Dada.  I know he has more words than that, but they aren't coming to me at the moment :)
  • He can tell you that the cow says 'moo' and the doggie says 'arf'
  • He tries to put his shoes on by himself now
  • He can turn on the tv and adjust the volume and channels - good fun

Other Updates

He is adjusting well to having a baby brother.  He waves to him and calls him Bubby.  Other than that, he pretty much ignores him.  He doesn't seem to be too jealous or demand my attention all of the time.  However, Kevin was home for a week and a half and then my mom has been here.  So, we will see how it goes when it's just me and the boys during the day.  He loves going for walks, to the park, and swimming in his pool.  He still loves books - I hope that never changes.  He has been sick with some type of virus for the past 5 days, so he has been kind of unhappy but I don't blame him.  Hopefully it goes away soon.
