Fourteen Months Old

My sweet boy, my 14 month old sweet boy!  You are our pride and joy, and each day you do something new to make us smile!  You have learned so much this month, buddy!  Not only are you running all over, but you’re talking so much!  You can pick out animals-cow, bear, cat, dog, pig-and you can tell us what a dog and a cow say.  It’s so cute! You love, love to be outside and explore everything you come in contact with.  You put up a bit of a fuss when it’s time to come inside, but after we reassure you that we’ll go out again tomorrow, you end up being ok with that! If we’re not outside, you have fun playing with your toys.  You don’t seem to have a favorite just yet, and you still like to play with non-toys.  See the paper towel roll in your toy pile?! We’re so thankful that you’re so happy!  You constantly smile and laugh, and we do this same in return!  This past month you’ve perfected giving the best hugs and kisses!  I’m talking squeeze our neck and nuzzle your head hugs and big open mouth kisses-we LOVE it!  When I dropped you off at day school the other day, you went to each of your friends and gave them big hugs-man it melted my heart!  First, I’m so happy to see that you love your friends, and second, I’m so proud that you’re understanding what it means to be kind to others.  That’s very important sweet thing. When we play in your room, one thing you love to do is pull all the blankets and quilts down and pretend to go to sleep.  The other day, daddy and I laid down side by side, and you brought us each a blanket!  So funny!You still love to hide or play peek-a-boo and have us ask, “Where’s Jack??”,you’re still super silly,  and you still think your daddy hung the moon!  Me too, sweet boy!Jack, you are my sunshine, and I pray for your little heart every day!  We thank God that you call us daddy and mommy-those words bring us indescribable joy coming from your little lips!

We love you more than words can say, buddy, buddy!
Daddy and Mommy
