It’s Friday, so it’s time to link up with the lovely Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and decide on my Word of the Week #WotW.
This week my word is more of a word of the day (rather than week) and it is;
Today Baby is 14 months old. She is no longer a baby, but a proper little girl. This month has been a big one for her. She took her first tentative steps about six weeks ago and has been taking a few steps here and there ever since. However, last weekend she started linking her little walks together and then just started walking! She is beyond thrilled with herself, her mega watt smile is there for all to see. Each day she gets more and more confident.
She can now point to her nose, if you ask her where it is, and has just learned to do the same with her tongue. She understands a lot of what you are saying to her. If you ask her if she want’s to put her coat on, she will walk straight over and hold out her arms. She can be quite challenging at the moment, screaming and crying if she doesn’t get her own way. I sometimes wonder if we are having the terrible two’s a little early! However, seconds later, she will be her bright, beautiful self and the naughty moments fade away.
She has started to eat more ‘normal’ food; trying her first sausages and mash, when we went out for my birthday. She loves sausages! She now only wants to feed herself and the only way we are allowed to ‘help’ her, is if she holds a spoon too. We definitely need patience when it comes to meal times. Until yesterday she would not touch fruit unless it was pureed, but then casually ate 6 grapes and half of my banana! She has started drinking her milk by herself sometimes, which is a little strange. It is incredibly difficult to change her nappy or get her dressed, as she just wants to be stood up all the time.
Her hugs are simply the best thing ever and she loves hugging and kissing. She tries to kiss and hug her little friends, which is so cute. She is so bright and is into absolutely everything. The room can be full of toys, but she will want to play with the DVDs or anything she shouldn’t and boy is she tenacious!
She is simply my heart. She has blown into our lives like a rush a fresh air and brightens every corner of our worlds.
I remain so very very grateful that she is my daughter.

Aww your posts are always so lovely and filled with joy. Such a change when they start walking – literally those first steps towards independence! Enjoy this time (and start moving everything precious up higher!!)
Author
Thank you, that is such a kind thing to say. She is a human cannon ball, so has a very large play pen x
Happy 14 months Baby. What a special time for you, enjoy every minute of it, before you know they are 17. xxxx
Author
Thanks. I know it has gone too quickly already! xxx
Ah, a lovely post, Aby. It’s great when they really find their feet, and they just get faster and faster! Sounds like her eating’s changing practically daily, too. Lots of fun! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
Author
Thanks hun. Everything seems to change daily! She has tried to run the last few days, slightly nerve wracking x
Well done to her on her first steps. Kisses from little ones are the best aren’t they?
Author
The best thing ever 🙂 x
aw she is so cute! I think once they start walking they seem so much more grown up and independent! Its like the last little bit of baby going as they can now get around all by themselves but it is so cute to see them waddling around so pleased with themselves!

Happy 14 months little miss! I love this post, so sweet and great to write down what she is doing at this age – time flies past so quickly that it can be hard to remember them being this little once they’re older x
Author
Thank you so much. I think I will enjoy looking back at the detail in years to come x
She’s just beautiful and I remember that age as being pretty magical. Enjoy!
Author
Thank you very much. I am really enjoying this age, apart from the shouting! 🙂 x
Awww I remember those days well and miss them now my 3 are older. I loved it when they started learning to feed themselves 🙂
Author
It is such a great time x

She is so adorable. Wow can’t believe 14, it goes by so quickly doesn’t it? I wish it didn’t. Missy Moo is my last baby and I am already panicking and having the broodiness come and go. lol How sad am I? I really wish they would stay little not forever but just a little longer, snuggly, lovey, and innocent. Great post. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. I hope to see you again tomorrow for another great round. If you found you didn’t get enough comments please feel free to link this lovely post up again tomorrow so you can get some much deserved love for it. Many forget to come back and comment. #sharewithme
