My oh my! You are 14 months old! Your grandma has been bugging me to death to hurry up and blog about what you did last week. For the first time, you actually ran to your grandma when she called for you. This made her extremely happy! You say mama, dada, hot, and a lot of other words but none of which I can interpret. You know that your name is on the wall in your bedroom. When I ask, "Where is John Warren," you point to the wall. I left you with your dad for a little while, and when I came home, he told me this story. He said that you were playing and then got up and walked to our bedroom and bathroom looking for me. You came back to him and said, "Mama." He told you that I had gone to the store and would be home soon. Then you started to cry but not for too long because y'all started to play with something else that distracted you. I love this story because it is the first time that you actually used my name to ask for me. My heart just melts every time I think of this!
You can follow directions (when you want to.) You knocked the pillow off of the chair, and I told you to put it back, and you did! When you are getting your bath, I ask you to hand me various objects: the fish, the little man, the book, and most of the time you hand me the correct object. You still love reading, and when I asked you to get the
Pokey Puppy book, you found it on your shelf and brought it to me.
You like watching
Thomas the Train and
Sesame Street. One Saturday morning when you were eating breakfast, you pointed to the T.V. and wanted to watch it. Although I don't completely agree with allowing babies to watch T.V., I do think that educational shows for a limited amount of time won't do too much harm. Last week I was so surprised when you were so interested in
Mr. Roger's. I hope you always enjoy that show!
Mamaw and I took you to the splash pad and you LOVED it! You still love your play dates at the park! You also liked your trip to the bookstore where you got to play with the Thomas train set and blocks!
We went to see Aunt Misty graduate from Ole Miss. You slept the entire car ride (thank goodness). You were so good and enjoyed dinner at the habachi grill.
This past month we celebrated Hallea's birthday! We went to her house and had an outdoor party. You and Hallea had a blast playing the swimming pool at the end of the party.
