13 and 14 months

Avery is wearing 12-18 month tops and  bottoms although the bottoms were a little big on him at 13 months. 

He is still wearing a size 4 diaper. 

Avery has 10 teeth at 13 months and 12 teeth at 14 months! I can't believe how quickly he gets teeth and he doesn't get very fussy when teething (he does want to be help more often). 

He sleeps at night 7:00pm -7:00am

Avery naps twice per day when we are home, typically at 10 and 2:30. He sleeps around 1.5-2 hours. If we are out the whole morning, he will either sleep in the car for 30 minutes in the morning or just take one nap when we get home in the afternoon. 

Avery still sleeps with his arm around Garrison. 

He has a few other bears in his crib and he likes to throw them all out during naps. If he throws Garrison over he cries and usually doesn't sleep till we toss Garrison back over. 

At 13 months he nurses once per day, right before bed. I had planned to be done nursing at 14 months but I couldn't bring myself to do it! 

Avery loves to eat. He goes absolutely crazy for bananas! He eats everything that we eat for meals and there is nothing he doesn't like. When he is full (which isn't that often) he usually starts dropping food on the floor. 

Avery no longer takes a bottle when I work.  He just drinks water and milk from sippy cup. He isn't a huge drinking and I try to offer it to him often throughout the day. 

Avery loves to clap and play peekaboo. 

At 13 months, Avery isn't talking much more than he was at 12 months. But he started saying more around 14 months. He also points and makes a question sound ("eh?") where his tone raises like he is asking "what's that?" Sometimes it sounds like he is saying "dat?" 

He pulls himself up to standing on everything and everyone. 

At 13 months he cruises a little bit along the furniture and will go from one object to another if it's close. At 14 months he is starting to stand on his own more purposefully like he's testing it out. He still doesn't love to be standing and if you try to make him stand or walk he bends his knees to go back to the ground. 

He loves to help give Roxy a biscuit when we put her in her crate.  He makes kissing noises like he is trying to call her in to her crate. At 14 months he says crate. 

He can climb the stairs and at 14 months he attempts to go down backwards. 

He climbs and climbs all day. He actually climbed into the tub upstairs and out of the deep garden tub in our bathroom! We put him in the garden tub when we are giving Ryane a shower so he doesn't continuously crawl in there. 

Avery loves when Paw Patrol is on and at 14 months says Paw Patrol (sounds like papa or paw ta)

He still loves to play anywhere that gets him in to trouble such as Roxy's food or water bowl, the pantry (he climbs and stands on whatever he can to reach items on the shelves) and the dishwasher. 

Avery is a busy guy and he rarely plays with toys. He explores and climbs mostly, although he does love to play upstairs in the play kitchen. He also still love to find small objects to put in his mouth!!

He's the happiest guy and he loves his grandparents. He gets especially happy when he is hanging out with Papa! If Papa is holding him and I put out my arms for him, he will not come to me!!

Happy 13 & 14, my sweetest!
