Here are some words that he says:
~ He has been saying Mama and Dada for a while but he is statring to say
Mommy and Daddy
~ Pupee for dogs
~ Caka for cracker
~ Choos for shoes
~ Choose for juice (anything thats in his sippy cup)
~ Lesee for let's see (we say that a lot when we look for things to play with or eat)
~ Baboule for bubble (Keith and I's favorite!)
~ Hhhahha for hot (he says this when we are drinking coffee in the morning)
~ When we sing "Sugar Pie, Honey Bun" he will snap his fingers (in his own way).
Honey taught him that one! :)
Sorry, that is the best that I could do for baby translating. These are also mixed in with his conversational jibber jabber that is so funny to sit back and listen to!
Recently, he has shown interest in feeding himself with a spoon. At first I just thought he wanted to play with it but when I gave it to him he actually dipped it in the yogurt and fed himself. He didn't seem to grasp which end of the spoon to dip in the yogurt, but you have to start somewhere. It created quite a mess but I had to let loose and just let him get dirty because it was almost bath time.
Some of his favorite foods are YOGURT, cheese, strawberries, blueberries, buddy fruits, sharing popsicles with mama, chicken, hamburgers, turkey, crackers, yogurt melts, oatmeal, and still eating baby food veggies.
Tonight was the first night he has gone to bed without a bottle and it went well. The last few nights he has been eating dinner closer to his bedtime so when I would go to feed him his bedtime bottle, he refused it. I hope it keeps going this smooth because he really loves his bottle. I have been putting it off because it is a comfort to him at his naps and bedtime so maybe it was me holding on to that cuddle time. :( He loves his burp cloth and paci at nap and bedtime too. We can tackle the paci issue later, I don't want to traumatize him! It makes him happy for goodness sake! Brushing his teeth has and is still a challenge. He giggles when he sees us brush our teeth but when its his turn, I need the jaws of life to get in his mouth. I seriously doubt I'm even brushing one tooth. We have tried a lot of methods of distraction and it helps some but not great. I need some pointers in this area.
And the not-so-fun part of being 14 months is his new hitting phase. This has become quite the topic of conversation in our household because, GASP, our sweet baby would never do anything like that. Ha, yeah right! If he isn't getting what he wants or if we take something away from him, you better count on a swinging arm coming your way! It's hard not to laugh too when he does it because here you have this tiny little thing retaliating on you. Oh how the human nature is vengeful. Well, it is our job as parents to discipline so that is what journey we are on now, I just didn't think it would be at this age. I talked to our pediatrician about it and he gave me some good tactics to use so we are trying those but this strong willed one is still hitting. I know it will take time and patience but it has been challenging, and for Honey too. He does it to her and she wants to discipline the way we do.
