14 Months Old

14 months old

Weight: Jack weighs 24.5 ish pounds

Length: I'm going to say a solid 33 inches long

Wearing: size 4 Huggies diapers (with the overnight diapers at bedtime), 18 month clothes. He is able to comfortably wear size 24 sleepers.

Feedings: Jack drinks 25 ounces of milk a day. We continue to work on transitioning him to table food. Things are getting better. He has managed to eat a few meals all on his own without baby food. Yea! Waffles are a big plus in his book.

Favorites: Jack still loves to play chase. He laughs hysterically and tries his hardest to get away as fast as possible. lol. He loves to go into the big boys' room and play on their beds. He also is climbing all over everything. A new fun thing for him is to steal his brother's juice cups. Oh boy does he get mad when you take them away from him!

Least Favorites: Not getting his way.

Issues: Other than the eternally teething, he seems to be doing just fine.

Personality: Jack has has developed a 'tude and has definite opinions as to what he should and should not be doing. lol

Areas to work on: Jack is still mastering the fine art of walking. He hasn't yet taken the plunge and gone on his own. I am MORE than okay with him not walking. Jeez, I cringe at the thought of him being busier than he already is!

New Things: This month has brought the discovery of food. So far, fruits, waffles, and quesadillas are the big hits.

Randomness: Jack now has all of his teeth except his upper canines. Those teeth will likely be in within the next week. I cannot wait until this poor guy is done with teething. It has been a brutal month for him as far as teeth are concerned.
