Jared- 14 months

Jared is just about 14 months and is as active as ever. He learned to crawl when he was about 10 1/2 months so he's taking his sweet precious time learning to walk. He can stand up from sitting, and walk holding on to the furniture, but that's the extent of his walking development. He doesn't really like to walk with us when we hold his hands. I'm starting to think that this little guy will do what he wants, when he wants to. Is that a foreshadowing of things to come? I don't know.
Jared can say "Uh-oh" and has maybe said "Dada" once or twice. When I try to get him to say anything, he just looks at me and smiles. He must be thinking that mom looks really goofy. Again, this boy has his own timeline.
Jared loves to explore and he also loves to get a hold of phones, remotes, etc. to use as a method of crawling. He uses the remotes, toys, books, etc. and drags them on the floor as he crawls. I think that it makes him crawl faster. When he uses books and slides them on the floor, he can really get some good speed.
Jared has 6 teeth and is getting two more on the bottom. He is ALMOST weaned. One more feeding to drop this weekend. I'm glad to be done. We can bond in other ways. Jared loves his sister and brother. He loves to look at their pictures on the wall. He gets a really big grin when I say their names. He's a cute smiley boy. Here are some pictures from yesterday when he and Kaylin took a bath. Love the bubble goatee...
