Fourteen Months Old

Our little girl is becoming a toddler. She is fourteen months old now and getting into EVERYTHING! Nothing is safe when she is around and she makes a path throughout the house that looks like a tornado. Her favorite things to make a mess of are: the shoe rack, the cd's under the television, the drawer with all the sippy cups, mom's drawers in the bathroom and anything else she can open or tear up. She has also discovered the bathroom and can pull out a roll of toilet paper in 10 seconds flat. She is continuing to expand her vocabulary and mimics sounds and words that are said to her. She LOVES to crawl and has discovered stairs. The problem is she is not sure how to get down yet so she requires constant supervision. She is not happy when she sees the gate being put up to prevent her from climbing. She loves playing with her big brother and sister (most of the time). Her sleeping and eating patterns have been somewhat irregular due to teeth coming in. We haven't seen any new ones (she has two on the bottom) but she is drooling and irritable or as Jerry says, "How come she all the sudden has attitude?" She LOVES music and dances anytime she hears it. It is so cute to watch her. She is working on using her jumper when Lauren isn't pushing her like it's a swing or twisting her up and making her spin. It is not used much because it can be a hazard when she has "help." She has issues with going potty in the bathtub. I have never had a baby poo poo in the tub as much as she has. I try to bath her fast but if she stays in longer or I am not looking she does it. I think we are in double digits for the number of times she has done this. She is picky about what she eats more than her brother and sister were and she likes to feed herself most of the time. We got rid of the bottle and she does great with a sippy cup. She is a sweet baby and we love having her in our home.
