Aurora - Fourteen Months

  

Weight :: 21 pounds 9 ounces

The major milestone this month is -- SHE'S WALKING!

I swear she was taking a few steps months ago, but then I guess she decided that she didn't want to walk until she knew she could do it well.  I will be interested to see if this caution continues to be a personality trait as she gets older.
 


She seems to be adding new words all the time.  Some of the new ones this last month are Wyatt "Wyaa", doggie "daddy"

Signs :: potty, water, all done

Aurora loves giving kisses!  I'll admit they are sometimes extremely wet and on occasion she slips in a little tongue ;) but she still makes our hearts melt every time. 

Kissing Grumpa!

When Nanny and Grumpa came to visit they brought a cute little bunny cup, which was just the motivation Rora needed to learn how to drink out of a straw.




We have officially given up the morning nap so until we are able to push her nap late enough she is getting super tired by bedtime.  I was really hoping that her two one hour naps would translate to one two hour nap... but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.  She is now averaging a one hour nap in the late morning. 




Nighttime sleep is generally from about 6:30pm until 6:30 or 7am.
