Tyler Update

This week, Tyler turned 14 months old (yesterday, to be exact). I haven't taken pictures in a couple of weeks, but here are some from the last month...

He has 4 teeth. The hair is starting to curl a little in the back. He's still sucking his thumb, especially when he's tired, nervous, or bored.
He fits nicely in a Kelty backpack & enjoys it.
Snores when he sleeps...loudly, too. When he falls asleep in the car, he is now difficult to transfer into his crib. Sometimes, he won't go back to sleep. Bummer.
Loves playing with water. He will move stools around in the house to get up to any sink he sees to play with water. Washing his hands is not easy, as he'd rather splash around than get clean.
At 14 months, Tyler:
*still nurses about 3 times a day
*understands so much, in English & Chinese. Directions he responds well to include "sit down," "put away," "put inside," "do you need to poop?", "kiss," "bedtime," & "eat." I'm sure there are more, but that's what I can think of right now. And, most of all this is in Chinese.
*signs a couple of things (in his own "words")...more, bye, thank you, want, all done. Bye & thank you are the same thing, which is waving.
*loves the cats & is learning to pet them gently, though not really
*loves being outside
*enjoys watching me cook dinner. He pulls on my legs for me to pick him up to see what I'm making, but gets upset when I need to put him down. Sometimes I have to put him in the Ergo on my back to cut vegetables and such.
*can poop in the toilet
*take 2 naps a day, but is starting show signs of only needing 1
*LOVES to play
*claps his hands
*is starting to dance; will turn around in circles. When we have music on and start dancing around, he likes me to pick him up and dance with him
*doesn't really enjoy drinking cow's milk
*loves noodles of all shapes, grains, sizes, & preparations
*plays peek-a-boo by covering his eyes
*requests a certain song by gesturing parts of the hand movements in the song
*when he sleeps, he likes to suck his thumb while touching the tag on the side of one of his sleep sacks. The other ones don't have a tag, so I try to give him his "Nu Nu" that has a tag but he just tosses it aside; happens daily
I can go on and on, but it's way past my bedtime, & David's snoring softly...I'm outta here!
