14 months

well i never did my 13 month update, so i will just combine them

let's start with his hair...

i have cut it multiple times, but it has gotten to the point that 

when he wakes up from a nap or for the day.

he had wild bed head in the back.

i assumed it was because his hair was long, so i cut it.

two days later he had crazy bed head again.

so he must be a crazy sleeper or something.

giving him a haircut is the worst. i usually cut it in the bathtub.

so i can just rinse down the hair, then i 'fix' it after he gets out.

i started giving him a sucker cause he pulls away...

 right when i am about to make a cut.

he has the most hilarious smile.

anytime he sees a phone or camera, he does this.

it starts out with the big picture. peaks at the top right picture.

then eventually gets smaller.

i love it. i have a small snipped on video i'll add to my weekly update.

he has 14 teeth!! the 'original' 4 on top, 4 on bottom.

all four molars and just recently sprouted some fangs.

his top left fang and his bottom right fang.

i wish i could blame his horrible sleeping on teething

but i didn't really think that is it.

for a majority of his molars i would spot it once it was through.

never a hint of teething, which is great.

people are shocked he is running all over the place. 

he loves to climb whatever he can.

he is hilarious and puts any kind of basket on his head, and comes laughing.

today he is getting the cut off from nursing. 

i made it to 14 months, which is great.

i nursed emi until she was 18 months but she had some food allergies.

he has been only nursing at night before bed and in the early morning.

in the last 2 weeks his night feedings are a joke. 

he makes it just a few minutes on one side 

before he either falls asleep or pushes me away.

i hadn't weaned him yet because of the early morning feedings.

he could and would nurse for 15 minutes on each side if i let him.

this morning was our first go around with no morning nursing.

he had a good night and slept until close to 6am.

i went in and laid him back down, he cried a bit on and off.

(crying, listening for me, crying, listening....giving up, crying, listening)

so we will need to work that kink out.

so we all got up by 6:30am this morning.

luckily he goes to bed by 7pm.

he takes one to two naps a day, either 2 short naps or one long one.

on a bad night, he wakes at 1:45, 3:30, and 5:45.

a good night is he wakes once at 4:08 or 5:45.

makai is very smart. he doesn't know any body parts yet, nor talks

but he understands everything we say.

he shakes his head yes and screams high pitch screams.

 if he is sleepy he use to roll around, now he comes to me

i ask him if he is sleepy and ready to go nigh-nigh....he will shake his head yes

then i go lay him down and he goes right to sleep.

if he is hungry, he comes fussing with his hands in his mouth

and reminds me of a dog, he will request for me to follow him to the pantry.

if emi has something he wants, if he is excited, or can't figure something out...

he will scream this high pitch scream.

when he is poopy he will come to me making a 's' sound, i then ask him if he is stinky

that's what we call a poopy diaper, a stinky.

he also loves to talk on the phone and will ramble on and on.

he is also the most loving and caring boy.

he loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses.

he loves to wrestle, wear necklaces and crowns.

he likes to stand on the little leather chair with a puffed/proud chest.

he gets so excited to go outside.

is doing better when i leave, or when anyone leaves the house.

he doesn't necessarily have stranger danger, but he gets shy.

he has turned into a picky eater but loves hot dogs, spaghetti, crasians, pretzels

cesear salad, chicken nuggets, yogurt, cottage cheese and spinach.

he hates milk, green beans and peas.

if he doesn't want to eat something, he just throws it on the ground.

he wears size 18 months in most things.

his feet are size 4.

he still sleeps with his blanket every night and nap time.

loves the binkie and can't go to sleep without it.

i love that he claps anytime someone on tv claps or at tanner's football games.

he immediately starts dancing to any tune he hears.

he loves to be naked, loves to stand during his bath.

cries if we take a shower without him.

and adores his daddy so much!!

people always ask if they are cousins, like i am babysitting one of them.

because they are "night and day"....have dark and light.

this boy lights up my life.

i may get a heart attack every time he stands on the arm rest of the couch.

but i am accepting his crazy 'boy' antics that i feared so much.
