Ryan at 14 months

PHYSICAL:
*always on the go!
*is getting faster at walking (sometimes it seems pretty close to running ....)
*doesn't hesitate when going over uneven surfaces/up and down small steps
*is very fast at climbing our stairs but still doesn't know how to come down (safely :))
*LOVES throwing objects -- balls, toys, food, cups, books, ANYthing (Watch out, world! He can really chuck things with gusto!)
*learned to give zerberts

SOCIAL:
*says "amen" at the end of our prayers (often right after we say it but sometimes right with us!)
*seems to say "In" for "Ian"
*says "babo" for blueberries, "bubbo" for Goldfish crackers, and "amull" for apple
*likes to say "a duh" (all done), especially when we're doing something he doesn't like (for example: when we're wiping him up after a meal)
*loves signing the word "milk," and especially loves it when he actually gets to grab his milk out of the refrigerator afterwards
*still copies many words we say
*still mainly points and grunts to show us what he wants

EATING:
*still nursing in the morning and night and before nap
*loves whole milk
*still is very particular about what foods he'll eat, though he seems to be making progress
*frozen peas seem to be one of his favorites

SLEEPING:
*very consistently sleeping through the night (yay!) from 7:30-6:00/6:30
*occasionally takes two naps but has mainly transitioned to taking one nap right after lunch
*still lets Daddy hold him to fall asleep if we're out and about

FAVORITES:
*watching Daddy return from work!
*creating a warpath of destruction behind himself (the other night in a matter of minutes, he threw three books from his bedroom into the bathtub while Ian was in it, unrolled the toilet paper roll, and reached on TOP of the toilet to pull down the toilet bowl brush).
*carrying objects to random places in the house (his favorite place to stash things seems to be the clothes hamper in Momma & Daddy's bedroom or, if it's unlocked, the kitchen trashcan ... we're still hoping to find Kim's watch in a secret hiding place!)
*any toy with buttons that he can push to make noises or music (especially our toy Hummer & Escalade)
*push toys
*ball popper
*toy golf clubs
*Cozy Coupe
*starting to actually like being read to (will choose a book, bring it to either Momma or Daddy, and turn around to show that he wants to sit down on our laps)
*seems to especially enjoy "Moo Baa La La La," any lift-the-flap or tactile book (especially "Dear Zoo"), any book with photos of babies
*getting tickled or chase
*walking around with a t-shirt over his head, wanting us to say "Where's Ryan?"

DISLIKES:
*getting wiped up
*having to stop what he's doing to get his diaper changed
*being away from Momma and Daddy
*when Ian wants to play with the toy he is playing with
