14 Months Old

I won't be doing monthly updates for Syd anymore, but I will, periodically, do some posts to record her new tricks and tell her likes/dislikes.  14 months old is a pretty adorable stage...and apparently, pretty independent.  She doesn't like to be held...she wants to be down so that she can go go go and follow Millie around and climb on stuff.  She jogs everywhere, and it cracks me up...her tiny little legs go so fast.  Video: Syd's quickstep

Trying out this Baltic Amber teething necklace; can't tell if it works because once she figures out she has it on, she rips it off...same with bows in her hair.  She still only has one tooth, but surely any day those other three top teeth are going to poke through.  Her gums are bulging and it looks painful.  Some days she's whinier than others...teething is such a long process.

upside down snuggles...she gives the best hugs & kisses right now

Our big girl has outgrown all 6-12 mos clothes and is now in 12-18 mos sizes.  She wears size 4 diapers and size 4.5-5 shoes.  She weighs around 22 lbs.  She's such a little butterball with her roundness: perfectly round head and belly...nice and curvy. ;)

first bubble bath...she loved it, which is kind of a big deal because bath time isn't really something she usually likes

Syd's current likes:
duck-watching, high-fiving, food of any kind, pointing, jabbering, clapping, waving at the pets, giving kisses (especially to Buddy or her baby dolls), Peekaboo Barn iPad app, Yo Gabba Gabba TV show, swinging, playing chase with Millie, popsicles, puff cups full of cheerios, yogurt melts, cut-up fruit (especially peaches, pears, and strawberries), going night night, sleeping with multiple pacis, eating anything she finds on the ground indoors or outside, cucumber, climbing, sliding Video: sliding, remotes & phones, flipping through books herself, playing peekaboo.

Syd's current dislikes:

wearing hats or bows, waiting for food, having remotes or phones taken away from her, diaper changes, being read to before bedtime (she just wants to go to bed), mommy leaving (separation anxiety is in full force now).

She's still the sweetest <3
