14 Months Old

I missed his 13 month update (I know I suck) but am going to try to do better at Colt's monthly updates since I NEVER missed one of B's.  

Colton is a literal mess.  He is all over the place & into everything all of the time.  He loves to open & close drawers & happens to get his fingers caught in said drawers at least once a day.  When he gets hurt he milks it for all it is worth.  His fake crying is pretty good for a 14 month old (B taught him everything he knows).

He watches B like a hawk........still...........& is picking up & learning everything bad that B does.  He loves his big bro so much & just wants to be like him I guess.  They already fight with each other over toys, books, mommy; you know everything & they even smack each other which we are working on stopping ASAP. 

I think that Colt is in the process of getting every tooth in his mouth cut but is handling it pretty well.  He is grumpy but not as grumpy & fussy as I would expect him to be.  He tries so hard to be in such a good mood but with all the drool coming out of his mouth I think sometimes it's hard!!  

He loves when I sing to him & really loves when someone reads to him.  He will clap his little heart happy when ever he hears "if your happy & you know it".  My song with both boys is "you are my sunshine" & when I sing it both boys will come sit right next to me & cuddle in...........my heart melts every time!!

Colt has a size 4 foot already & is in 18 month clothing & is just a big boy.  Lance says he's going to be our linebacker & B our quarterback (a father's football fantasy I guess!!).  He goes in for his 15 month check up next month so we'll see what his weigh is then but I think he's around 26 pounds; whatever he is, he is HEAVY!!  He was sleeping in until around 7-7:30 before the teeth issues began so now it's restless nights & early mornings. 

The boy eats just about anything & wants to eat anytime someone walks into the kitchen; it is crazy but he will bang on the fridge & pantry doors if you walk in there & don't give him something!  He is the child who is going to eat us out of house & home!!  He is talking up a storm too.  He says nana (banana), dada, no-no, down, yes, ju (juice), has only said momma clearly once but it was so sweet sounding, ma (more), papa (once), ba-ba (bye-bye), hi (he waves too) & there are more but I can't remember what right now (I need to write them down & keep better track).   He sleeps with his Mickey Mouse & blankie & likes to carry them around just like his big bro.

He loves to be outside & LOVES to play in the water.  His little cheeks turn so red but he just runs around like a little terror.  He is so funny to watch because he thinks he can run really fast & he just giggles & laughs while he plays.  He (& his brother) are absolute perfection; don't get me wrong my kids do not act perfect (by any means).  They fight, throw fits, cry, yell, scream, hit, make messes, get into EVERYTHING all the time.........you name it & they do it BUT they are my kids & even though they do wrong they are PERFECT!!  They have so much love to give & share & their cuddles are AMAZING!!  They are going up faster than I would like but it is fun to watch them do it!!





Ask me how you can get results like these!!

14 Months Old.......

On October 3rd Brayden turned 14 Months & we yet again went through the day trying to get a good picture of him in his chair & yet again I did not succeed!!  They are not too bad but they are also not of him sitting still in the chair; but what can I do right?


Brayden is still wearing a size 4 diaper & he is in 12-18 or 18 months clothes.

He is talking up a storm & I am actually understanding more & more of it as each day goes by.  Just the other day he took his pajama pants off (he does this all the time now for some reason) & he looked at them & said "bea" for bear; I was so proud!!

He thinks that he can feed himself better than I can so most of the time I let him but if it is something really messy or we are out I try to feed him & he doesn't like that at all..........very independent already.  He has stopped liking all veggies but hopefully it is temporary but other than that he will eat anything!!

He blows kisses all the time now & even makes the "muuah" sound.

He is obsessed with milk & runs to the fridge & bangs on it whenever he wants some; I guess it is good that he likes it but the yells "mil" really loud the whole way to the fridge when he wants it.........it really is adorable!

When we get into my car he automatically reaches his arm up for me to turn on the DVD player; he is in love with a Winnie the Pooh Musical movie that I bought him a while a back & only wants that movie to be played over & over & over & over.  It keeps him busy in the car but I don't think that I can take it any longer; we are actually going to see if I can find another musical movie after nap time!!

He loves to dance & he is so cute when he is doing it; he bounces his legs & head & it is ADORABLE!!  I hope that he gets Lance's rhythm!!

Thankfully the weather is still nice because my boy is an outside boy through & through.

He finally loves to brush his teeth; we bought him a step so that he can see over my sink & he stands there & brushes his teeth while we do ours. (by the way he has 10 teeth now)

Brayden's sleep schedule is under review; he goes to bed at 7 (I am pushing for 7:30) but he starts to wake up some/the majority of mornings at 5:30am & that make momma not very happy since I am having trouble sleeping these days.  Some days he wakes up because he has pooped but other days he wakes up for no reason & won't go back to sleep & then is tired until nap time..........any suggestions would be wonderful!!

Brayden gets NO bottles & still only gets his paci at nap & bed time; that will soon be going though!!  I want him to be completely done with the paci when the baby gets here so he doesn't really want it then or for the whole time the baby has it.

He is finally getting hair!!!

Here are some more random photos from his 14 month birthday; hopefully he will soon sit down & sit still again for some but I am not holding my breath.  I love that he is so active & happy but being pregnant it makes it hard some days.
