14 months like WHOA!

At 14 months Jessica is
-no longer a baby! We're talking serious tantrum throwing, opinionated, stubborn toddler! Woot!
- still has 6 teeth, but I think she's been teething the past few days............
-Is starting to (try) to run everywhere and climb up everything. Can we say bonks and bruises on her head constantly?
-total comedian, center of attention diva
-still goes to bed at 6 and wakes up at 7, sometimes even later on the weekends!
- finally takes one loooooong nap (at naptime when the other kids are sleeping, so mommy gets to work out!)
-loves shoes
-covers her mouth when she coughs
-says please and thank you both verbally and with her baby signs
-says at least 20 words (probably more, but i really don't feel like counting)
-has the cutest little wardrobe, thanks to generous gifts and hand me downs
-loves books and to read
-is doing a bunch of animal sounds (ruff ruff, moo, quack quack, ROAR, meow)
-finally has hair, but its still totally a mullet. mommy puts a pony tail or bow on top everyday
-loves to do the "cheesy smile" (as seen in the picture above)
-stubborn
-starting to become a totally daddy's girl
-loves hotdogs and chicken nuggets, pasta, cheese, fruit and crackers. and green beans from a can (not fresh!)
-helps daddy in his garden
-doesn't always like to share, especially mommy with the other kids
-she hits and pretends to try to bite. yeah. good times
-has gotten quite good at throwing herself on the ground, after running around in a circle after getting mad at mommy or whoever for absolutely no reason
-gives kisses!!!!! she especially loves to kiss her boyfriend hayden ;)
-knows how to throw and kick balls
-doesn't like spicy food, looks like she's a gringo like her mommy!
-is an absolute delight and her mommy and daddy love watching her grow. she's an amazing little girl!!!


sorry i haven't been blogging much recently. its been a pretty crazy past few months. it kinda always feels that way. but i'm hoping that life is slowing down a bit, and i've also discovered Picasa and Picasa 2 from google, and i have a feeling it will help with my blogging!
i will try to post some more pictures this weekend. its amazing how fast she's growing, and how she no longer looks like a baby but like a full blown toddler!!!
have a fabulous rest of the week :)
