14 months

As of Thursday, Caitlin is now 14 months.
-She has doubled her teeth count in the last month.. 6 new ones. She got her one year molars, and a couple towards the front.
-still doesn't really feel the need to talk. She is vocal but not saying very many solid words. She sticks to "mama" "dada" and "baba". Otherwise, she pretty much gets what she wants anyways so what's the rush? Sometimes she will surprise us and say something but it's never heard again. Hopefully she is storing everything in that little head of hers so when she does decided to talk she'll have plenty of ammunition.
-she points at things she wants and if that's not clear enough she will get your finger and pull you over. or if you are standing she will push your legs so you walk over.
-she drinks only from a sippy cup now! no more bottles! We still put her down for her nap and bedtime with milk, but it's from a sippy. This was a big step but she actually did really well with it. No we're working towards not having to be put down with a drink.
-she blows kisses and plays patty-cake, but only if she wants to. 
-she pretty much just loves life and loves to do what she pleases, but there are a very few things that she REALLY REALLY loves:
#1 going outside. she LOVES to be outside. she knows that if she put her shoes on she gets to go outside so she is constantly bringing me shoes and trying to get me to put them on her.
#2 her blankies. she has two and she needs both to go to bed. if i let her she would carry them around all day with her.
#3 chocolate. i try not to give her too much but, she's like me: she really really loves it whenever she can get her hands on it
#4 her daddy. She screams and runs to the door whenever he comes home from work and wants his full attention whenever he is around. she loves to wrestle with him.
#5 the book "Moo, Baa, LaLaLa" by Susan Boynton. It's just a little board book that my mom got for her before she was even born and she loves it. She will bring it over and sit in your lap and as soon as you're done reading she wants you to read it again, and again and again. I literally have it memorized. She likes other books but loses interest pretty fast, but not this one.
