Jeff, DeAnna and The Littles: 14 months!

This blog post will likely be short, but I wanted to say a few things about my 14 month old baby boy and the things he's learned in the past month.

Caleb is super strong and always impresses people with his strength.
He already likes to test boundaries.
- He knows he's not supposed to do something, will look at you and do it anyway.
He has figured out how to ride his firetruck ride-on toy that he got for his birthday, but loves to be pushed instead (and then he will walk himself backwards to you so you can push him again).
He continues to love to read and will often "read" to you.
His appetite has been off and on this month. Sometimes he eats plenty and other times he doesn't eat as much.
He loves to "sing" and if you sing a simple song and tell him to sing, he will.
He dances by stomping his feet around.
He tries to run and often runs away when I change his diaper (or even show him a diaper).
He is "talking" a lot more... we just can't quite figure out what he's talking about.
He has learned to hide and it is the cutest thing in the world! If we tell him to hide, he will lay down for us to put a blanket on top of him and then he will be super still until we "find" him. So cute and so smart!
A water bottle is his best friend (or sometimes a juice bottle).
We had to go to the doctor yesterday and he weighed in at 24.2 lbs.
If you ask if he's hungry or ready for breakfast/lunch/dinner, he'll say, "Mmmm". He will also say that if you ask if he wants certain foods.
He's really clever and it's really neat watching him figure things out and experimenting.
He loves to push anything with wheels.
Bubble baths put a smile on his face! It's so funny watching him play with the bubbles and taking his little pointer to try and pop them.
Sometimes, he does things in a pattern... for example, the other day in the bath he would sit down and kick his feet, roll over onto his belly and then stand up and stomp. Then he would do it all over again in the same order. He did this several times.
He's a happy little boy and such a pleasure to be around. We love having this handsome little man in our lives.

Here are some pictures from this last month.
