14 Months

January got away from me, so here I am a week late or so on Evan's 14 month update. The big change this month is we have a full-fledged, full-time walker! He gave up crawling during the week of vacation snow days! He hasn't had an injury in awhile, until this weekend. We were up in the Georgia mountains again with a bunch of friends. He tripped and hit his head on a door. A lump. A cut. Crying. Ice. Even more crying.

This week he started a new room at daycare - pre-toddlers. Evan is adjusting well, but drop offs have been a little harder these last two days because he isn't familiar with the early teacher. Things are a lot different in the pre-toddler room. No high chairs. No cribs. Evan apparently really likes sitting at the table to eat his food (I wonder how much of it ends up on the floor?). And nap time is going well too. I'm shocked! He slept 2.5 hours on Monday and 2 hours today - on a cot - where he can escape. Crazy, I know.

New tricks:

• Walking
• New signs: please, help, light
• Knows where his head, eyes, teeth, ears, mouth, belly are (in addition to nose and tongue that he knew last month)
• Words: hi, bye, Dada, Yia Yia
• Going down stairs
