I don't really consider 14 months a "real" baby milestone but I couldn't let another day go by without recording some of the way cute things Mason has learned. Besides, I got his should-have-been-1-yr.-old-but-was-more-like-14-mo.-old pictures back and I just had to show my little cutie off!
Mason will try to say ANYTHING! His newest favorite words are "lawn mow, schwim shoot (swim suit), jink (drink), beebee (binky), shoes, sweep, git (get it), bubble and eight. He really is a chatterbox and we are often surprised by the things he can tell us.He is FASCINATED with lawn mowers. We pass them on the trail each Monday morning. We watch the neighbor's yard get mowed each Friday morning, we go to Grandpa's to mow each Thursday morning and he talks about them every other day of the week. A "lawn mow" is any outdoor piece of equipment that makes noise, a blower, edger, 4 wheeler. He just can't get enough.
He is a BINKY boy. When he wakes from his nap he must bring every binky from his crib, one in his mouth and as many as he can fit in his hands. He also loves his blanket.
His hobbies include blowing bubbles, being outside, sweeping, vacuuming, reading books, going on walks, building towers with stacking blocks and knocking them over, opening the microwave door after something "beeps", following his brothers around the house and jamming to their music. His current faves: Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas and That's Not My NAME by the Ting Tings. He loves to shout, "my name"!
When it comes to food he has branched out a bit. He LOVES "nacks" (fruit snacks), "melyo's" (marshmallows), chicken, corn dogs on a stick ( I know, pretty dangerous but he really does well with them), cantaloupe, watermelon, "bips" (chips), grapes, milk, tomatoes, cheese, and "gurt" (yogurt). He has never really liked bread and still doesn't. Occassionally, he will eat a bit of toast.
We have practiced and begged to get him to go down the stairs backward but he insists on doing it like we all do. It works out okay on my case that has railing rungs all the way down but it doesn't work out so well on other stairs. For such a smart little guy he sure is stair challenged!
His latest and not-so-greatest, a shrill little scream each time the dog comes near. It gets a little old all day long. He likes Maggie, he is just afraid she will take the food he is carting around in his hands. He has decided to scream at her whether he has food or not. He also tries this during church when we won't let him past the end of the bench or when you take something away from him that he is sure he must have. It really is a minor little flaw in his otherwise sunshiny little demeanor.
Just look at this little guy! He is simply irresistible and brings us so much joy.Y
