Nora Kate is 14 Months

Nora Kate is now 14 months old, and she's a good little walker!  The biggest change this month was that she went from crawling most of the time to walking most of the time!  She could crawl last month, but still preferred to walk.  The only bad news is that she usually has at least one bruise on her head or legs from falling.  She's a great walker-but she wants to go fast-like her brothers- and a lot of times she gets going too fast.  You have to walk before you run, Nora Kate!!!!

Nora Kate has definitely become a Daddy's girl this month.  If he is around, that's who she wants!  She will walk to him and find a way to climb on him and try to get on his lap! It's so sweet!

Nora Kate has started putting more and more words together.  Her three word combinations are "Here you go." "There you go."  For two word combos, she frequently says: "Love you!" "Thank you" "Bye Bye"  "Uh oh!" "Night Night"  We have started asking her animal sounds this week.  She does not always like to do this, but when it's pretty calm I can usually get her to answer two:  "What does a horse say" (neigh neigh) and "What does a dog say?" (Woof woof, but sounds like doof doof) 

She loves bath time and teeth brushing time, and if I mention either of these, she makes a beeline for her bathroom. 

Nora Kate is a great little eater, and she's not too picky!  Her favorites are pasta, string cheese, yogurt, chicken or turkey, carrots, bananas, raspberries, apples, and really any casserole. 

Nora Kate gets up about 7:30 each morning and goes to bed about 7:30 each night.  She usually (unless we have a playdate or are out running errands) takes 2 naps a day, one from 10-11am and another from 1-2:30pm.  She always takes the afternoon nap, it's the morning nap that gets omitted sometimes.

Nora Kate is such a happy little girl!  She is opinionated in that she knows exactly what she wants, and she's not the most patient (ie, if she drinks all her milk, she wants more immediately and everyone will know it because she gets loud!). 

We love our sweet baby so much!  There are a few things I want to remember about our precious Nora Kate at 14 months...She loves to walk, dance, climb, read books (especially touch and feel books), knock over block towers, carry her babydoll around, push her baby stroller, her brothers, and being outside! 

My three precious babies!

I love this sweet girl more than words!  

Nora Kate 14 months!
