Molly Miller ~ 14 Months Old

Molly is 14 months old!  This last month was full of fun and development!  Molly started walking a few weeks ago at the beach, and she has really taken off in the last week.  She walks everywhere, and has started walking while holding toys, too. 

Also in the last month, Molly's vocabulary has started to really explode!  Along with Dada, she's saying dog, ball, off, up, signing more, and shakes her head no at every question you ask her!  We've got to work on yes!  It's so much fun having her say a few words!  She jabbers A LOT, too!  We don't know what she's saying, but she points and her face fills with expression as she talks away.  It's too precious to us!

As for eating, she is still very very picky.  So picky that one day she may love a food and the next day spits it right out at you.  It's a constant struggle to get her to eat.  Some days I fret over the fact that she's hardly eaten anything, but my momma always reminds me she will eat when she's hungry.  Any of you have picky eaters?  I'd love to hear suggestions on healthy foods your kids enjoy. If it weren't for scrambled eggs, gold fish, cheerios and bread, we'd be in a total mess!?!?!

This week Molly will start going to the Mommy's Morning Out program at our church.  She'll go two days a week, and I'm sure she'll love it.  It's got to be a good sign that she cried when we left her room during orientation, right?  I know she will love playing with her friends and learning!  Me on the other hand?  I am not sure what I'm going to do with my two mornings a week?!?  I'm looking forward to going grocery shopping, cleaning the house and going to the gym alone.  But I'm also a bit sad about it!  I get pretty teary just talking about it right now.

Month 14 was a total blast, and we absolutely love every single second with our MM!

SO sweet!

she's about the same age as the little girl I nanny...fun to see that they're doing some similar things right now, namely the babbling constantly!

You will enjoy the time of quiet and will be amazed at how rejuvenated you feel alot of those days! But you will also be about to pop to pick her up every day. It's good:)
