Libbi Jane, you are 14 months old today! Time has flown by and it feels like forever since we celebrated your first birthday....not just two short months ago! I have enjoyed spending my days with you more than you will ever know. You wear me out every day - ha! and I think sometimes I am more exhausted than you are, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!!
You still wear a size 4 diaper and mostly 12-18 month clothes. It makes me so sad that you have grown out of the "baby section" in many of the stores and now have to shop in the "toddler" section. :( You are growing up too fast! We went to the doctor last week (you had a little virus) and you weighed in at 22 lbs.....we think. It is hard to get an accurate measurement of your weight when you're writhing around on the scale like it is a bed of nails.
Your love affair with dogs continues - ha! You are obsessed (to say the least) with dogs. **And if you're reading this and you know me at all, then you know that I am NOT a dog lover (to say the least!). I wouldn't kick a puppy or anything....I would probably just high-tail it and run for "safety." So I have NO IDEA where this dog fascination came from** Anyway, you love all dogs....except for real ones - haha!
Anytime you see one on TV you are entranced. We watch youtube videos of random puppies. You look through all of your books until you find the pages with dogs on them. You can spot one a mile a away. You used to bark when we asked you, "what does a dog say?" but now you've taken to panting. Sometimes we're concerned you'll hyperventilate, because you will pant through an entire dog food commercial.
You have taken an interest in other animals, too. You know the sounds that a snake, bee, cow, sheep, dog, squirrel, and monkey make. I know, I know - we couldn't come up with a more random mix of animals if we tried - but for some reason these are the ones you've picked up on.
You are an excellent sleeper (unless you're teething or sick). You sleep from 7pm to 7am pretty consistently and you take one afternoon nap a day (thank you, Lord!) You have 12 teeth (four on top, four on bottom and ALL FOUR molars - whew!) so hopefully we're through with the whole teething thing for a little while.
You love to read books (which makes my bookworm heart so happy!) Your summer reading list included "Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes", "I Love You as Much", and "My First 100 Words" just to name a few. You also love to sing. Your current playlist includes: "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" (where you love to point and tell the monkeys, "no, no, no!"), Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Shout and Whisper (thanks, Ashley!), and "If You're Happy and You Know It."
Happy 14 Months Sweet Girl!
