14 Months

 Nothin' cuter than babies in their skibbies.


Charlie 

19 lbs
30"


Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk....
Some recent favorites include: 
Yummy, yummy - a common utterance at mealtime
No-a-dough - complete with head shake and arm wave...though he will still often go for the forbidden VCR or stove after he agrees with mommy that the object is a "No-No."  He's even been known to go around pointing out the "no-no" object to me, especially the outlets.
Go, go - Pretty sure he picked that up from watching PBS "Cat in the Hat" (the current post-breakfast routine while mom tries to quickly pick up) since the first time he said it was "singing" along to....Here we go, go, go, go...on an adventure!
Ssssssok - Currently a "sock" is any object that goes on the foot, shoes included.
Bupk - Somehow the "p" sneaks in there while trying to get "k" sound.  He loves his books, and just the other day requested a "bupk, bupk" while riding in the car.  (I usually keep a few toys, books, etc. nearby to hand them when they get restless, but I didn't have to guess what he wanted that day!)

Teeth
Big time teeth came in this month.  Current tally stands at 10, including 2 molars.  And, those are a bucket of fun.

Movin' and Groovin'
Charlie is gettin' around pretty well these days between crawling, cruising along the furniture, and hitching a ride with Dino (the push walker).  He can now take a few kamikaze steps between Scott and I, and can stand for a second or two.  He is making slow, but steady progress.  With his new ankle braces (that we pick up next week), we're hopeful that he'll keeping making great strides!  (Ha, pun intended.)



Jake

22 lbs
30"

Aka...Hasselhoff Jr. ;)

Talk?
While he talks all day long, and we're sure he knows exactly what he's saying, most of the rest of us are still in the dark.
I do recognize "ti" (tickle) as he has learned a new trick...tickling mom's belly.  This might be his current, favorite activity.  He and Charlie are also starting to realize that they, too, have a belly which is great for tickling.  He'll often join me while tickling Charlie's belly, and vice-versa.

Teeth
Just slightly edging out brother still with a total of 11 and 1/2.  Yes, he now has 1/2 of his front tooth. :(  Daddy now calls him "Chip," but a check with the pediatric dentist assured us that he's ok for now, at least until he can sit still long enough to file or fill it.  Should make for some cute pics once he starts grinning and bearing those top chompers.

Movin' and Groovin'
Definitely yes to both of these!  He is usually moving at a pace somewhere between walking and running.  While he hasn't quite mastered the run yet, he's definitely experimenting with how to get away from mom faster and faster.  When he does stop moving, he is quite the squatter.  We think we might have a little catcher on our hands.  Oh, to have young knees...  Finally, he loves to jam to a good tune these days.  Both boys were "Vogue-ing" a bit with Madonna at the Super Bowl halftime show.
