14 Months Old

Crazy cute outfit--yes, that's strawberries for buttons!
(it is still a bit big, the pants were hard to keep up)

Our first "pooling" experience

It's actually tomorrow...but if the past week is any indication, I won't get to post then. I guess the past week has been occupied with figuring out when to catch up on sleep we're not getting at night! (It's been a bad sleep week for some reason). I swear every time we think we have a pattern figured out with the kid, she goes and changes it on us. We're in yet another change. She can pull up in her bed now (at least to her knees). Up until Wednesday morning, I assumed that meant she was awake and ready to start her day. But, I learned otherwise on Wed. We'd been up most of the night and at 4:30am she had pulled herself up in her crib after sleeping only 15 minutes in her crib after being rocked for much longer than that (and asleep in my arms). Thing was...she was SO TIRED her head was hanging...literally, hanging down it was so tired. (If I hadn't been so stinkin' tired I probably would have laughed at THAT moment...but it is funny now, BTW.) When I simply watched from the doorway, she sat that way for less than a minute, than laid herself back down. (She didn't go back to sleep, I'm sorry to say, but she did lay back down.) Crazy kid.

And today she learned to pull her hair bow out. Darn it. That 3 months of her being oblivious to what's in her hair was sure short lived! Well, I'm hoping she'll change her mind about taking them out as her hair continues to thicken and the bows stay in better.

Izzy's hair isn't thick enough for bows yet. They just look silly.

I hope she starts sleeping better. I've finally realized that she isn't ready to get up in the morning she just wants another bottle and will then sleep another 2 hours. If only I could go back to sleep then too.
Glad to see new pics. She's cuter every day.
