I started this post 2 months ago. It's not finished, but at least it's something!
My son is almost 14 months old. FOURTEEN MONTHS - where did that time go? I honestly don't know. Let's see, what is Richie up to these days?
TEETH - We have two. And that's it. And for almost two months, he only had one. We call it Ol' Chomper. And it's giant now and crooked and dwarfs its new little friend that grew in (also crooked) right next door. His lack of teeth doesn't seem to slowing him down, but still, we're hoping he gets a few more soon.
CRAWLING - He started to crawl on the day he turned 11 months. I think this was slightly earlier than the pediatrician had hoped for; she thought by his first birthday. He did a lot of army crawling, but is now on all fours and also doing some spiderman crawling, where his knees don't touch the ground.
WALKING - Richie has taken his first steps!!!! We know it's not much longer until life as we know it has changed forever. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being mobile. Even once he started crawling he seemed so much happier. He now cruises around on furniture, walks very short distances, and stands up without needing to hold onto anything. These, my friends, are all signs that walking for real is right around the corner.
EATING - Richie LOVES food. All food. All the time. He doesn't care so much for baby food anymore and would prefer all his food be table food. He especially loves beans and cheese.
WEIGHT/HEIGHT/HEAD - Last check up at 12 months and Richie was in the 30th-50th percentile for almost everything. Not bad for a 32-weeker! We even moved him to a big-boy car seat!
