14 months old today!

I can't believe our baby is 14 months old! It is going waaaaayyy too fast. He's not even a baby anymore, he's acting like a complete and total little boy. We just recently bought him these dinosaurs that walk and roar and whenever he plays with them he says "oooohhhh" and claps and rocks back and forth. Such a boy! What else? Oh yes, he is now officially giving "fives" when you ask for one. He said "orange" last night when I was feeding him his favorite fruit, mandarin oranges. He also repeated about 5 words that I said to him last night and this morning I was tickling him by moving my fingers all around his belly and neck and saying "tickle tickle tickle". He was giggling and then started to try and tickle himself and say "tickly tickle". It was hilarious! He loves playing with his friend Zach across the street who is turning 1 this coming weekend. Yesterday Zach came over to our house to play and when it was time for him to go Seth started crying and reaching for him. I just have to say, Seth is the most awesome little boy ever! Jerry and I are having soooo much fun with him. He loves to play chase all around the house and would probably play it for hours on end if mommy and daddy had the energy to do that! He is so loving and not once has he tried to bite or hit yet! More than anything he just likes to hug and kiss everything and everyone! Even yesterday he gave Zach and kiss and a hug. Even though he has such a sweet and gentle personality, he is one tough little boy. I can't even begin to tell you how many times he has fallen or hit his head...HARD, and he doesn't even cry. He looks for our reaction first, and if we act like it's not a big deal then he just goes about playing. I have noticed that he also isn't "mouthing" things as much anymore. I have heard once they are weaned off the bottle that this will help with the oral fixation that babies have. It must be true because I have definitely noticed he is not doing it as much. It used to be that when I took him outside and held his hand while we walked down the sidewalk, he would put everything and anything in his mouth. He tried putting rocks, dirt, leaves and even dead worms in his mouth. It was quite a chore to constantly pull his hand away from his mouth or prevent him from picking up worms and bugs! Now, when I take him out, he still likes to pick up leaves but he hasn't been trying to put them in his mouth anymore. That is one stage I won't miss! I can't wait to see what he'll be doing and learning by next month!
