• 14 Month Update + Videos

  (This post took me forever to do. F.O.R.E.V.E.R!)
  
  Zoe’s 14th month hit last tuesday. Just last month alone she’s learned so much more than any other month. And she’s sooo funny. I have no one to compare her to but I think she’s a pretty clever lil girl. She did something yesterday which upped her level of smartness and she can now say one 3 syllable word. I’ll post it later this week but she surprised us and this will have to go into her 15th month accomplishments.
  
  I give you smarty pants monkey butt at 14 months…
  
  She can:
  :: Eat really well. She especially loves watermellon, canteloupe, miso soup, mac and cheese, and dduk gook. I have to try to make kongnameul gook and see if she likes that.
    
  :: Walk
     
  :: When I’m doing the dishes and she wants me to play with her she comes to the kitchen and wedges herself between the cabinet and my legs and starts shoving me away from the sink.
    
  :: We watch the videos on Noggin.com and there’s a song called Mister by Laura Berkner where she sings about Mr Elephant and the kids on the video throw their head back and make a trunk out of their arm and belt out an elephant sound. Zoe doesn’t do the trunk but she throws her head back and tries to make the elephant sound.
    
  :: There’s another video where Moose A. Moose goes “Music makes me toot-toot-toot!” She goes “Too-too!”
     
    
     
  :: She knows the number two and the number nine. I never taught her this. I was reading her a Little Einstein book and I was counting the blocks and after I counted to seven she said “Aye…NIGH!”  We were like “WHAT DA?!” Now she won’t do the eight but she’ll do the “nigh” even though sometimes she says it after six…sometimes seven….we just have to work out the kinks.
     
  
  Here she refused to count cause I kept making her repeat it.
    
  :: When you say “ja-ja” (sleep) she either drops to the floor and lies down or she’ll say “ja-ja.”
     
  :: She can say “ma-ma” (food)
     
  :: Everything is No. You can ask her a question and she’ll respond “No”. We were sitting on the couch and her daddy was going off about how good looking he is and I was just rolling my eyes trying to ignore him while Zoe sat on my lap facing me and I asked “Zoe is daddy good looking?” She goes “no” WITH THE HEAD SHAKE mind you. He then asked her “Is mommy pretty?” She didn’t respond. THAT’S MY GIRL!
    
  :: She can say yes but only if you prompt her. She still gets her no and yes confused.
    
  :: She talks ALOT of jibberish. There’s a lot of screeching involved.
    
  :: She is SUPER attached to me. I can’t even go to the bathroom.  She won’t let her father put her down to sleep anymore. It HAS to be me. One night we both had our hands on her bottle for her last feeding and when I moved my hand away she started whining. When he pulled his away she didn’t care.
  :: She can give you rasberries on your face and say “Yay” and raise her hands in the air.
    
  ::She can also say “Wow” and “Whoa”. 
    
    
  :: She can do cheers with a cup.
    
  :: She can give you a pound
    
  : She can put her finger to her lips and go “shhh”
    
  :: When I read her the Madeline book she copies me when I get to the ‘pooh-pooh’ part
    
  :: She can tilt her head to the side. The first time she did this she was standing and tilted her head to the right and lost her balance and started to cry. It’s not my fault your weight is in the 10th percentile and your head is in the 80th you Giant Head!
  :: When she wants me to do something for her this is usually what she says
    
  :: We can finally play tea time together!
    
  :: You can put chapstick on her (and she won’t try to eat it) and she knows to smack her lips together
  

    
  :: She can conjure up magical powers (This is her father’s favorite)
