Fisher is 14 Months Old!

he was obsessed with trying to get his sticker off!





"It won't come off!!"

"I'm over these pictures. I'm getting down now. "


*Fisher weighs about 21 pounds.


*He wears cloth diapers and 6-9/6-12 month outfits, depending on the brand. He has one 12-18 month outfit he can wear.


*He can walk! He has been taking steps for a few weeks now. He is getting more steady the more he walks. He can take up to 10-20 steps at a time now, but only if he's barefoot. Shoes make thing a little more difficult. He is so cute toddling around.


*He is a climber! Stairs, chairs, you name it, he climbs it!

* He still has a great appetite. Most of the time, he is very willing to try whatever I give him. His current favorites are blueberries and bananas. He is still working at drinking out of a sippy cup, but is getting better.


*He still loves to be outside. We play outside almost every day, although we don't stay out for very long since it's so hot.

*He's sleeping in his bed every night. He still flips and flops all over the bed. He will stand up in the bed when he wants to get out. He's also gnawed on his crib rails.


* He is loving books right now, which makes this momma very happy! We read multiple books several times a day, and we always read a book before prayers and bedtime.


*Breastfeeding about 4-5 times a day (when he takes a bottle, it's usually 6-9 ounces). He's back to waking up 1-2 times a night, but still sleeping until around 9 most mornings. We've added a bottle of almond milk to his bedtime feeding. He takes it like a champ! He is still napping twice a day, usually an hour long each nap.


*His vocabulary is really developing. His favorite word is still "DaDa". He will sometimes say "MaMa". Other words include duck, dog, Duchess, outside, choo-choo, bath, how do, tractor (his new favorite word! He is always saying it), ball, light, hot. His words are hit or miss-sometimes he'll say them, sometimes not. He's also appearing to be picking up on some signs. He understands "milk", and will (somewhat) sign "all done" sometimes.


*He loves to play in the floor with his toys. He loves anything with wheels; he likes to push his toys across the floor. His favorite toy right now is his Cozy Coupe and his push walker.

*He is very loving. He loves to give hugs and lay on you (only when he's in the mood).


*He is very attached to his lovie. He drapes it over his face when he sleeps, chews on its head, and talks to it. He now wants to have it when he's not in his crib. We now have two more lovies-one stays at Yaya's and one is for the car. :)


*He is still very much into sucking his thumb. When he's tired he sucks his left thumb and rubs his face with his lovie in his right hand.

*He is getting better at object recognition. When you ask him to point to your nose/mouth/ears/eyes, he can-he's the best at nose and ears, though. He will also get his book, ball, lovie when asked. He'll point out a tractor in his book when asked where it is. He will also point to a light and say "light", as well as point to something hot (like a cup of coffee) and say "hot".


*Still loves taking a shower.



* He has ten teeth! He has four on the bottom and four on the top. He has his top and bottom left side molars. He's working on the right side.


*Nicknames: Fishy, Bubs, Bubba, Bubby, Baby, Buddy, Fisher-man, love
