14 months

 My baby has been into so much these past few months! He is in his 14th month and has become mister busy!

He is walking on his own quite regularly, and has just started to run, which is both adorable and amusing.

My baby is down-right giddy when he gets his milk in the morning, when he gets some of mommy's chocolate, and when he reads his Bible before bed or nap time.

Peyton wakes up around 8 and goes to bed around 8. He takes one afternoon nap, although since the time change he also tends to doze for a few minutes one other time throughout the day. When he goes to bed he still has his bottle, Bible story, prayer, songs and then bed. He will NOT let us snuggle him without reading a Bible story though... even at nap time. I LOVE that about him! :)

He loves playing with friends in the nursery, although still doesn't like saying bye to us. He loves when the teenagers come to play every Sunday night, and is such a ham.

He is a dancer - no thanks to his parents. :) Peyton loves to bob his head from side to side and occasionally gets his shoulders into it. Don't worry, the hips usually stay still. Most of the time when he dances he also says "yeah, yeah, yeah" over and over. He will also often repeat you when you start it.

Peyton is a babbler, although he is only saying a few actual words. He says 'dada' 'dah' (Dog) 'mama' 'duh' (done - which is accompanied by pointing to the sink because we always get his rag to wipe his face), hi, yeah, nigh nigh (night night). I feel like he has said no and thank you although it quite possibly could be a fluke.

This little ham, while adorable, has also become pretty strong willed. He will push my legs if I'm doing the dishes and he doesn't want me to or if he just wants me to do something else or just wants me out of his way. Pulling my hair to get up is also a lovely habit he is getting into.

He is still pretty ticklish. All Daddy has to do is rub his scratchy face on Peyton's feet or face and he goes nuts! He also is ticklish in the thighs and sometimes the ribs. His giggle is contagious and such a beautiful sound!

Oh. My. Goodness. I seriously could kiss his cheeks and tickle his chubby thighs all day long. He is such a goober and Drew and I are often overwhelmed by the love we have for him!
