Happy Fourteen Months Old

Wow! Here we are another month old. I have to admit I have been so slack on the blog due to the move and just getting settled in. We are pretty much totally moved in though and organized at this point.

Juliette seems to love her new house. She has become a master at getting up the stairs and will proudly giggle when she makes it all by herself up to her room. She has not quite mastered getting down the stairs and that is when her Mommy feels the anxiety. We have to watch her at all times because she is SO fast now.

Her favorite two things now are the dogs Gypsy and Gracie. She will run around the house just chasing them. She is generally very gentle with them. However, Don did have to stop her after she took a wooden mallet from her medical kit and was bopping them on the nose in between the eyes. They are so patient and just generally run away when she does something like that to them.

She is still a terrific eater and a fantastic sleeper! She sleeps 12hours at night and I do feel the transition to one nap a day coming on. She is starting to resist that afternoon nap. We still have not found any food that she does not like. Yesterday for the first time we steamed some cauliflower for her and she even loved that. Cheese is still her very favorite treat though for sure.

She is babbling all kind of things now a days. Her favorite word is still "da da". If i say "ma ma" she will look right at me and say "da da". She also now likes to say "hi" and "do" for dog.

She is BUSY all day! There is no down time for Juliette. She likes to be on the move ALL day. She loves to watch her baby Einstein videos and sing with the music. She has become quite the dancer when any music comes on and will bend her knees right along with music. I think that she has a lot more soul than her Mama and Daddy - well maybe just her Mama.

I could not believe that I registered for a little 2K program at our church. She will begin next August for two mornings a week. I think that she will love it. She loves to socialize with little babies her age - girls and boys but especially BOYS!

I am sure that I will think of a hundred more things but for now that is all.

Also a shout out to one of my dear friends, Susan! Welcome to motherhood. You are now officially part of the mommyhood circle :) Congratulations on that most handsome baby boy!
