Here are some new things my 14 month old can do...


Now that my little "baby cakes" is really no longer a baby I should add some of the new things that he can do.

-He started walking at about 13 months, and now alternates between that and running.
-He can crawl backwards down the stairs.
-He can take off his own pants (only sweatpants or others that are loose like that).
-He can take lids off of containers and put them back on.
-He knows what the mouse is for the computer and will put an old one that we store in a cupboard up by the good one whenever he finds it.
-He loves to rearrange my kitchen drawers. I often find the tv remotes and toys in there, while my Tupperware and utensils are constantly being found in his toy basket.
-He is finally starting to cuddle more.
-Still loves all people and isn't afraid of anyone.
-He loves to play outside with the kids.
-Goes down the slide--his favorite is to go down backwards.
-He closes his eyes tight when you tell him to close them.
-He gets to ride in his big boy car seat and will fake cough to get attention, and then the minute we turn back around he coughs again!!
-He can reach anything on the table or counter that isn't at least 6 inches in, and has therefore broken a plate already :)
-He loves to talk on the phone and will turn ours on and off a thousand times a day pretending to talk to people.
-He babbles constantly, but unfortunately is not the best talker. At least we can understand him with the signs that he knows.


Signs he knows (I'm numbering them because I want to know how many he knows, and it's just easier for me this way):
1. food
2. more
3. milk
4. please
5. all done
6. banana
7. apple
8. bye-bye
9. blows kisses (this one took forever for him to get down)
10. claps for yeah
11. water
12. bath
13. love you
14. frog
15. monkey
16. phone
17. fish
18. yes
19. no--shakes head
20. book
21. wash hands
22. song
23. prayer
24. all gone
25. brush teeth
Words he knows (most of these are just sounds that he makes to refer to the word):
1. "de"--dog
2. "kiee"--kitty
3. "chee"--cheese
4. "hee"--horse, what it says
5. "jes"--Jesus
6. "sh"--shoe
7. "s"--sock

Hopefully he'll get some real words in there soon--most importantly MOM!! :)
