14 Months

Charlotte is walking everywhere and getting into everything. She still crawls some of the time and is completely over using the 'walker' she was obsessed with for two straight weeks. She has added, "no" and "yum yum" to her vocabulary; we are working on "hi", "hello", "love you", and "thank you". She loves to mock the sounds you make. And, she can stand up on her own now — without pulling up on something. Charlotte also loves to give (very open-mouthed) kisses.

No more baby bath seat in the tub - she's too big. We have outfitted the surroundings with a gigantic tub mat and spout cover.

Sippy cup news: we've found a new (to us) kind and think it's 'the one'!!! Keep your fingers crossed. This is probably the fifth brand we have tried.

I asked Charlotte a question the other day and she responded by saying, "No, ma'am." Seriously, she did. I was dumbfounded.
