14 Months

Weight: 21 pounds, 11 ounces

Length: 29.5 inches

Favorite activity: Playing with her play food, throwing the ball for the dogs, and pulling all the wipes out of the wipe container.

Favorite food: applesauce, apples and her morning smoothy. And manzanita bananas!

Favorite spot: She is always so delighted to be outside

Cutest moment: Lorelei has really taken to wrapping things around her neck like a scarf. She particularly loves to take my long beaded necklaces and wrap them around her neck, then she looks in my mirror over the makeup table and smiles. Such a girl!

Naughtiest moment: Pulling all the wipes out of her wipe bag.

Important milestones: She's got 4 teeth! She can also pull herself into a standing position in the middle of the floor, and can stay up for about 15 seconds before sitting down again. 

Teeth: 4

Words: 5 - dada, mama, woof, yes, dis (this)

Signs: 3 (more, all done, dog)

How Mom's Feeling:Pretty great, now that we have found a house and are in escrow. For a while there, I pretty much wanted to throw up every night. Of course, now things are just going crazy with packing and getting ready for the move. Added on top of that, Lorelei is working her way towards only taking one nap a day. Depending on the day, she will take 2 1-hour naps or 1 2-3 hour nap. I just wish we had a consistent nap, so we can schedule stuff!

Pics of Our Week!

This weekend, Brian and I actually got away for a night and a day! We had a fancy dinner and spent the day up in Napa at the Meritage resort for the District Rotary Conference, and were able to see Jeff (Brian's dad) get an award.

Good morning, baby!

Pics of our Week!

So I was planning on posting this like a week ago. But you know, life. It seems like all we have been doing is going house hunting. And to the park. So here are some pictures of the last few weeks. I have some more to post--now that we have actually found our house and are in contract, I actually will have time to upload and post them!

Pics of our Week!

This week, when we weren't looking at houses, we just hung out at home and went to the park. In the future (i.e. not spending a million hours looking at houses and figuring out this whole house buying stuff) I'd like to be able to go to the park a couple mornings a week. It made the morning feel very successful!

Cooking!

Climbing the slide at the park.

She had a fine time getting up there! Crawling up the steps was much easier than crawling down!

All tuckered out.

Making herself beautiful!

Getting ready for her day!
