Kendall is 14 months old

Kendall Morgan:
The months just seem to fly by faster and faster each month.  Here we are at 14 months old (12.27.13), if we could slow things down mommy would appreciate it.  This age is such a fun age cause your little personality is really starting to shine through.  This month you've become standoffish towards guys (except daddy).  The other day when grandpa came over to drop off Kaylee from school all he did was look at you and say hi and you started crying.  You are a TOTAL mama's girl, you'll want someone else to hold you for literally 5 seconds and then want to come right back to me.  You like to play by yourself (when you get the chance, when your sisters don't come and take whatever your playing with away from you).  Can we make a deal with each other, you stop growing so fast...please.


SLEEPING: You are still a great sleeper.  You sleep 12+ hours a night, I wish your sisters slept that long.  Everyone goes to bed at 8pm and for the past couple months you have been waking up around 8-8:30.  You finally knocked off your 3rd nap you would take around 5 and are now only taking 2 naps.  You go down for your first nap around 9:30 to 11:30 and then we'll get up change your diaper, you'll eat lunch and then play for a little bit and then will go back down for your second nap at 12:30 or 1:00 and sleep till like 4.

PERSONALITY: Baby girl you have become such a funny little girl.  Always finding ways to make your mama or sisters laugh.  You absolutely love to play peek a boo.  You are just the sweetest little girl, my favorite is when I take you out of your crib in the morning and you lay your head on my shoulder and pat my back. (the first time you did it, may have brought tears to my eyes).  You are still such an easy going baby, not as quiet as you use to be.  You are super ticklish all over, I get the biggest belly laughs when I tickle you under your chin.

THINGS I WANT TO REMEMBER:

• Your personality.  This age is so much fun.  Your coming into your own and holding your own, you don't take crap from your sisters that's for sure.
• You had pneumonia 12.23.13
• You have 2 more teeth on the bottom pop through at the same time
• We found a sippy cup you like (Nuby)
