Annie: Fourteen Months

My baby girl is getting so big! I see glimpses of the toddler to come. She is standing really well and has attempted a step a couple of times, but she still prefers crawling. She has the balance to walk so I think it is just a matter of making up her mind. She loves climbing (especially the stairs and her little couch) and I have to keep a close eye on her! She is having lots of fun with other kids now--she plays in the nursery at church (she finally started going consistently at about eleven months) and she loves toddler storytime at the library. She still loves her books and is enjoying her play kitchen and push toys, too. She has become a more finicky eater this month, refusing all vegetables except sweet potatoes, peas, and lima beans. She is being picky about meat, too. She is eating lots of fruit, whole wheat bread and tortillas, yogurt, cheese, and oatmeal. I guess this is just a phase that we're going through. Overall Annie is a very happy baby and she brings us so much joy!
