June 6, 2017

August is 14 months old!

CB4BD1D8-AC98-44B4-B5F4-9E693AD0C2AB CA93A182-F059-439A-9BCB-D41849273DD4 1581EEAD-2679-4158-90E5-C5B25A37C449DFDE588D-9525-4FC4-B67C-EEC98229F01A

This month, August:

Weighs/Measures: (checkup next month)

Teeth: 6

Words: Mama, Dada, hi, bye-bye, uh-oh, ball, eye, bear (beah), boo (peekaboo), bubba (buddy), bloo (balloon), bir (bird), roar, and a few random words from his favorite books i.e. bull & Bob

Loves:

  • Cuddles
  • Climbing
  • Crawling in and under stuff
  • Eating!
  • Books! Will go get a book and grunt at mama to read it to him:) A few current  favorites include The Mitten, From Head to Toe (loves doing some of the actions like clapping like a seal), baby faces books, Trucks lift the flap book, first words books, abc interactive book, Goodnight Moon
  • Roaring like a lion
  • Exploring new things
  • Peekaboo
  • Tickles
  • Rough-housing with Dad
  • People watching
  • One-on-one time with mama and/or dada
  • “Singing” karaoke (aka putting the microphone in his mouth and yelling “uhhhhhhh”)
  • Swinging, crawling through tunnels, and sliding with mama at the park
  • Being sung to and danced around
  • Bouncing
  • Playing at Gymboree
  • Biting
  • Opening his mouth as wide as he can when he’s excited, taking a big bite, or just being silly
  • Ellie wubbanub & “binks”
  • Downward dogging

Dislikes:

  • Getting dressed and diaper changed
  • When sissy takes his toys or doesn’t share
  • Getting nails clipped

What’s New:

  • Can walk assisted holding on to one of mama’s hands
  • Gives kisses upon request—complete with a smooch sound
  • His receptive language skills are strong—he can understand so much more than he can say (which is sometimes frustrating for him!)
  • Expresses himself more strongly now when upset or when he doesn’t like something. Examples: putting up a fight when trying to dress him/change his diaper by rolling around, trying to crawl away, etc; Will throw and hit toys if you try to give them to him when he’s mad; Bows out his body and flings his head back when holding him while upset
  • Going along with the above, has started to fight back a bit when Scarlett takes his toys or is too rough with him
  • Makes sound effects like roaring like a lion whenever he sees a lion or hears the word, makes a vroom sound when playing with cars, claps and barks like a seal when we read “From Head to Toe”
  • Can stand independently for about 10 seconds before getting distracted and crawling away
  • Has started to copy some of sissy’s undesirable actions such as hitting (thinks it’s funny)

Other Activity:

  • Sleep: Goes to bed around 8:30pm and has been sleeping until about 7:30-8am most days. He still wakes up once early morning (anywhere from 3-6am) to nurse before going right back to sleep. He takes a nap in the afternoon from about 2-5pm, and will occasionally take a short morning nap (if we are actually home at that time—otherwise he snoozes in the car!) around 10:30am for about 30-60min.
  • Eating: Nurses approximately 4-5x/day and eats 3 solid meals. He is quite the eater these days! He will eat almost anything you put in front of him, and if he likes it, he’ll eat quite a bit.

Nicknames: Goomy, Goom, Goomici, Hammy, Hamici, Doughman, Chuub, Chuuba
