Dear Anna,<\/p>\n

Yesterday you turned 14 months old.\u00a0 Somewhere in my feverish haze I vaguely realized it was the 12th, but then I had to take a nap.\u00a0 I feel slightly better today, so let’s see if I can make sense…

\nYou are walking!\u00a0 Truly, truly walking, although you also still like to “bear walk” on your hands and feet and are happy to crawl sometimes depending on the situation.\u00a0 You especially love to walk around outside while we’re waiting for your sister’s bus in the mornings and afternoons.\u00a0 I won’t need to bother raking this fall, I’m just going to let you loose to pick up each leaf one at a time, it’s your very favorite outdoor activity.\u00a0 You only try to eat them sometimes…<\/p>\n

You have two new verbal words, “ball” and “down” (which is really “dow-dow!”).\u00a0 At one point (in front of several witnesses) you said “button” as clear as day – a few times, even.\u00a0 But you haven’t repeated it since.\u00a0 You don’t really have any new signs (though you sort of sign “ball”, which I suppose is new) but you point a lot.\u00a0 You’re pretty good at communicating what you want, and I’m sure the word explosion is just a couple of months away – by Christmas you’ll probably be asking Santa for a pony!

\nYou have a bedtime routine down: when it’s time to go upstairs, if you’re being carried, you say “dow-dow!!” and insist on crawling up the stairs yourself.\u00a0 Then you crawl into the bathroom, climb up (laboriously) onto the step stool (again, all by yourself) and grab the toothbrush that I’ve put toothpaste on for you (while you were climbing up).\u00a0 While you “brush” your teeth, I finger-comb your hair, and then sometimes you let me take a turn with your toothbrush.\u00a0 Then I put you on the floor and let you toddle off down the hall to your room.\u00a0 Your favorite book to hear is Goodnight Moon, and you’re starting to point out the things in the pictures as I read about them.<\/p>\n

Your personality is just starting to blossom, and each day brings something new.\u00a0 I’m enjoying every bit of it!
