Fourteen Months

George was 14 months old yesterday. He's had a huge jump in vocabulary in the last month - he now can say car, duck, baa baa (sheep), doggie (goggie), kitty kitty kitty(while chasing the cat), ticky ticky ticky (tickle), tummy, nose, juice, no (of course!), ohhh noooo, book, ball, Papa, bonk ... and probably others I'm forgetting at the moment. He's like a little sponge, we really have to watch what we say around him!

He's also walking much better, definitely testing himself and gearing up for running.

And he's very attached to his sippy cups now. We usually let him have one with water at all times.

Here he is on the truck he got from Papa and Gigi for Christmas. He used it as a walker for a while, now he's figuring out he can ride it.

Here he is a few minutes later, all tuckered out and ready for bed. He's a busy, busy boy, but when he crashes, he's done for.

Sunny and Cold

We went to the park today - it was pretty cold and windy, but we couldn't let the sunny day go by without getting outside.

George cruised around the basketball court,

and took a few spills.

The dirt doesn't taste nearly as good as it looks.

Sliding like a big boy!

With Papa last Sunday. Same coat. That coat used to be mine, then my brothers. We're big into hand me downs in this family!

Randoms

George meets blueberry muffin.

Thirty seconds later my car alarm was going off.

Naked baby (edited)!

First pickle.

Vegging in front of the tv with his water bottle collection.

New Friend

We finally had a playdate with our friends Chris and Melissa's little girl Anneliese. She'll be one this month and is a little doll!
George did really well, and seems to be getting better at being gentle. We let the kiddos play for a while then went out for a nice long walk/stroller ride. Good for us mommies too!
