George- 14 months

He's just cut a molar on the bottom on one side and working on the other side.

He claps to show he's happy- lately, he does it when I get him out of his car seat. It's like he's saying, "Yes, good job, mom."

He just got his first haircut! Charlie was 3 before he needed one.

He's walking like a champ and gets into everything- he can open doors, climb up and down stairs, and even open some child proof locks. Uh oh.

He's developed a very high pitched scream in the last few months that is still rattling my brain on regular occasion.

He sleeps in his crib in his own room, which happens to be a cold-ish room in our house. So at night, I bundle him up in a fleece sleep sack and sometimes turn on a space heater, too.

We've all been sick for more than a week with a stomach flu virus. Oh, it's been awful. The worst days of it were when John was out of town. Of course. That coupled with early waking from Daylight Saving Time and I'm feeling cuckoo.

He just started shaking his head, "no". He's so funny- he pauses, squints his eyes, and then shakes his head "no".

I couldn't resist trying a pony tail and it worked really well to keep his hair out of his eyes!

Another example of his long, shaggy locks. I couldn't bear to cut them! Here he's trying to put a pair of Charlie's underwear on as a hat. 

We had a few cold days when mittens and coats were necessary. But for the most part, it was a mild, warm fall.
