14 months!

At 14 months old Stratton is such a busy boy! He isn't walking completely on his own, but everyday he gets braver and braver. The longest stride he has had at the house was about 6 or 7 steps. He will climb on anything and everything! I feel like we are constantly saying "No!". He is still wearing a size 12-18 months in shorts, but needs a 18-24 size in long pants and shirts and shoe size is 5.5-6. He is still in size 4 diapers. He has had 3 new back teeth come in over the past couple of months which adds up to a total of 11 teeth!! He is a terrific eater. He definitely has a healthy appetite. It's nothing for him to eat an entire banana (he loves bananas!) in just a couple of minutes! He usually wants to eat right when we walk in the door about 5:30pm, and then he eats again when Jarrod and I eat (if we eat before he goes to bed) he thinks if there are others eating then he should be too! You can't even snack in front of him because he will take it away from you! I have noticed that he is starting to refuse some foods- I knew the day would come {sigh} when he would have an opinion about what he likes to eat. Things he WILL not eat: baked squash, mac and  cheese from the Cracker Barrel, broccoli with cheese on it & fried okra. Things he LOVES: Bananas, cheese, bread (of any kind), any kind of cracker, especially goldfish, green beans and peas. He is saying new words everyday! He has finally started to say "Momma"! He also says: bye-bye, ball, dada, go, shoe, truck, new-new (no-no), puh (puppy), Tah (Taki), nanna (banana), dat (I assume like "what's that"), juice, Ba (milk) and something that resembles tractor. . .he babbles all the time who knows what he is trying to say! He knows how to point at what he wants even if he can't say it yet! He will point and make a sound like "huh" I don't know?? He knows exactly where the bath tub is and when he is ready he will take you to it!! So funny! We are enjoying watching him learn new things, it's so much fun (and a little bittersweet) to see him starting to make that transition from baby to little boy!
 
Here are some new videos I have taken in the past week, enjoy!
