14 months old!!

Lainey Cathryn is 14 months old (well, she was on Wednesday!)!! There's not much that's really changed from my 13-month post. She's still not saying too much - just "hi" and "da" and "dahdeee" (maybe Daddy?) and she'll try to blow bubbles when she sees a container of them and so that turns into a "bbbbbbmmmm" sound and when she sees a balloon sometimes she gets out that first syllable of "balloon". She says a lot of sounds, but we really don't know what they mean!! Lots of "ish" "glatch" "gladdalatch" "ditz" and "datch" and who knows what else.

Here are a few of our favorite and funny things that Lainey does...

1. She runs everywhere on her toes. I don't think the girl knows how to walk.

2. She climbs every chair she sees. And when she's standing on the chair, she's SO proud.

3. She laughs when others laugh (this is my favorite). If she sees us laughing, she joins right in even though she probably doesn't have a clue as to what we're giggling about.

4. She eats a LOT. She really likes most things, so I'm so grateful for that. She even ate artichokes and the artichoke dip the other night at dinner!

5. She's a good napper and a good sleeper at night and still completely attached to her pacifier and sleepsack during that time.

6. She would happily eat paper all day long if given the chance. Toilet paper is a favorite, and the list just follows after that: pages in books, the books themselves, post-it notes (which, of course, I have posted all over the house), tissue paper, you name it.

This child is a complete joy. Even though I feel as though I'm chasing a puppy around sometimes.

I'm including little video of her on her 14-month birthday. :)

And yes, you heard correctly... little Lainey will be a big sister next February. My due date is February 12th! We feel blessed beyond words, and are so excited to meet this little boy/girl. :) And yes, after I turned off the video, she did try to eat that picture of her little baby sister or brother. ;)
