Well our little lumberjack is 14 months old. He is all over the place, walking like a mad man, sometimes almost running. He loves the freedom that it gives him to carry something while he is walking. He is finally letting us read him books, occasionally he will even let us finish them. Stan and Diane were in town for a few days to see baby Wesley and for Kiley's baptism and McKay sure loved having Pops read him stories. He still only has 8 teeth, even though I think he was working on his molars for about a week, but they never did pop through. Of course a few days after his runny nose stops from his teething he then gets a cold and has had it since. So we have not had the best sleeping this month, but it really hasn't been too bad for the most part. About half the time he still takes two naps and the other half just one. It mainly just depends on what time he woke up in the morning and what we have scheduled for the day. He still eats well, pretty much anything we put in front of him. He loves to use a spoon and fork and throw everything off of his high chair tray. He drinks two bottles of milk a day, one before bed and another when he first wakes up. Still not the biggest fan of milk straight out of the fridge, but he does at least eat plenty of yogurt and cheese, so he does get his calcium in.
He is still pretty attached to me and since he hasn't been feeling well most of the month he has been a little extra attached. He will at least calm down pretty quickly when I leave, at least most of the time. Now that he can walk around like the big kids he loves to follow Brooklyn and his cousins around and will play with them without me in the room better, which does make family dinners a little easier. One thing that I at least think is major that he learned this month is how to blow his nose. Since it has been constantly running he figured out pretty quickly how to blow it. After he blows his nose he like to throw away the tissue and will do it all by himself., same with his diapers after we change him. He knows where his ears, nose, hair, tummy and toes are. He discovered belly buttons and loves to stick his finger in as far as it will go. He will just walk up to Brooklyn and pull her shirt up and stick his finger right into her belly button. He knows how to do touchdown, like what refs do when a touchdown is scored. Even though he hasn't been feeling super great, he still loves to smile and giggle and give you slobbery kisses. Sure love my little munchkin man.
The day before McKay turned 14 months, my family had our annual MSA fun run. We had a pretty good turn out, (especially since it was so cold) about 230 or so and were able to raise over $12,000 to help with research for the disease. It is always nice to see how many people love and support my parents and also other people from the community that have been effected by this disease.
