lost track

Well, apparently I have seriously lost track of time. So, over the next week, I am going to try to regain my momentum. Well, little Ms. T is now 14 months old and since I haven't done this for her...

14 things I love about my dainty thing at 14 months old:

1. When she wakes up in the morning and I go in her room, sometimes, she will wrap her arms around me and give me the biggest hug ever then, she holds on and pats me. So very sweet.

2. She gives kisses. Only when she feels like it but when she does, it will truly melt your heart.

3. She is obsessed with the dogs. Especially Chica. If only Chica felt the same way about her.

4. She likes to hold little things. Like tiny legos or pieces of chalk. Really, no need to call CPS, I am working on this now.

5. She can drink from a big, open cup, unassisted but then, she likes to toss the, still full, cup aside when she is finished.

6. She loves food. She really enjoys her food. She smacks her lips when it's something that she enjoys and will casually toss it to the side for the dogs to eat when it's not to her liking. On the same note, this girl loves spicy/flavorful food.

7. Bubba(for Eli) is officially her favorite word. I fall in a close second with Adam in third.

8. She points. You know exactly what she wants when she wants it.

9. She has her daddy wrapped around her finger.

10. She loves balls and doesn't really have a 'favorite' toy. She will contently sit down and play with just about anything.

11. I lied, she loves to get on the trampoline and crawl around.

12. She is up to about 8 unassisted steps but still thinks she can crawl faster. This is becoming an issue because it's hot and that means shorts and shorts and crawling means scrapped knees.

13. She LOVES shoes. Her shoes. But, really, she likes to bring everybody their shoes. But, she will find her shoes(wherever they are) and bring them over to you. Then, she proceeds to lift up her foot so you can put it on her.

14. She loves to use a fork and a spoon when she eats. And, she is actually really good at it.

In other exciting news, we are going to start sitting on the potty this week. Due to illness, I haven't done it yet. But, this is the week. Nothing big, just getting her used to it. I had Eli potty trained at 23 months and I am hoping for the same, if not earlier, for T! :)

before i forget

Sorry about the lack of posts lately...we got a new point and shoot so you would think that I would be posting more...but I haven't even uploaded any of the pictures yet!

But, I don't want to forget that 6 days ago, my little dainty thing took her first 6 steps. First 4 and then 2. She has been been taking a few here and there since then but not much. She would love to walk but instead of walking, she gets excited and tries to run and then face plants it into the floor...

Teagen also got to meet her Great Grandma last weekend and I will post more about that later!

But, no pics today...too tired!

that's just fabulous

So, Teagen has trouble pooping(just stop reading now, mom...tmi). In fact, she has a whole lotta trouble sometimes. Sometimes, I have to 'help' her. It's actually really, really sad. I am about to do a couple of diet changes for her but I doubt that it will help considering that she has had this 'problem' FOREVER! Anyways, I had taken her diaper off today to see if I could 'help' her. After she went, I was cleaning everything up and just let her go diaperless for a while. Then, I turn around and I see her bending over to her poop position. Too late. I try to rush her to the potty but at this point she has already pooped a ton of poop all over the playroom rug. And, let me tell you, it wasn't all easy to clean up. Grrrr.......

During a recent T photo session(more on that later), I tried to get her to lay in the grass for a cute picture...not what I was looking for but it's still cute. I still have to edit it but I am thinking it will be framed. It's just so her.

oops

can't believe that I forgot to post T's party pictures. Although we had to cancel it due to pneumonia and rsv...I still decorated and my family came over. We still had a great time!

and her invite that I made

I love these two shots

These are the little party favors that I made for the girls...it's a bow holder and little bows

made by my friend Meghann...so very yummy

My mom made these delic. treats!

I

cute little toosh

Sometimes I forget to take 'everyday' pictures of T. Although I have a ton of pictures, not too many of them are of us just hanging out. So, Teagen and daddy were having a diaper change when she scooted out of adams hold and decided she just wanted to have a naked rear. It was too cute to pass up.

This girl LOVES her shoes...and,she already has many pairs!

She was sending an email

I am posting a bunch tonight so you might have to scroll back a page to see everything...

bathtime and such

Bath time is usually daddy time. I usually work(or pretend to work and sit on blogs and other sites for hours) and daddy, teagen and eli have bath time. It's fun to be able to listen to them through the monitor as they are always laughing and playing. Lately Eli has been taking showers and seems to be fading out of official 'bath' time. So, I am glad that I went in a couple of weeks ago and snapped these sweet pictures of them during bath.

I have a bunch of other ones and I am going to print some and hang them in their bathrooms and then the ones of them playing together in the 'tub' area. They are in jack and jill bedrooms so both of them have their own bathroom and then they share the tub area.

just growing

Teagen is just growing and growing. And, I am so behind on blogging.

She has been so cuddly the past couple of days. She loves to just sit in my lap and 'read' books. The reality is, she doesn't really like to read them but she likes the idea of it all. She will pick books out and then when we start to read, she pushes it aside and finds another one.

She is jabbering all the time. She loves 'lalalala' and 'babababa' and making other funny noises but amoung her words are:

Bubba-for Eli

Mommy- of course :)

Dadda- for daddy

nana- banana

bump-when she wants to bounce up and down on my lap...

ma-water...don't know where she got this one from

Can't think of anymore now...

new kicks from her dg and papa

she loves balls

she is very tedious with her playing sometimes

She loves food...let me rephrase, she LOVES food! Her favorites are:

string cheese

yogurt

turkey taco meat

turkey sandwich meat

bell peppers

brocolli

crackers

and, when something is really good, she loves to smack her lips after every.single.bite. She just really enjoys food. She will try anything(well, almost anything). For the longest time, she wouldn't eat bananas and then, one day I was eating a banana and she reached over and started eating mine. She always has a highchair tray full of food but she would much rather lean over and pickpocket off of your plate.

She still isn't walking but is standing more. I really have no idea when she will walk...

She seems to have some respiratory funk again. I thought it was allergies but then she started getting a very 'noisy' breathe again so I took her to our lovely pedi and she thinks it has progressed into something else. But, now, we just wait and see what's gonna happen. Hopefully it doesn't turn into pneumonia...again.
