14 Months!

Month 13 to 14 went really quick.  Not necessarily "fun" however!  The change from two naps to one nap was successful in some aspects.  But did not lead to a happy Zuri.  To clarify, Zuri does not want two naps.  I tried to go back to it and she happily took a morning nap...but then she refused to take an afternoon nap.  She laid in her room for 2 hours chit chatting.  So, in trying to figure out how to make it work, I have decided Zuri needs to go to bed earlier.  Like 6:45 earlier.  Oddly, she has welcomed this and it seems to be helping the morning grumpiness.  I don't want to jinx it, so we will just have to see how it goes.

Zuri does not have any new words and still does not say "mama"!  She has walked some.  On February 25th, she walked while I was behind her and encouraged her.  She still continues to walk this way, but is unsure.  She has walked a few times from the kitchen to the living room while carrying her basketball, but that is it.  It seems she has the capability, but not the confidence.

One of Zuri's favorite activities is playing peek-a-boo.  She loves to put her hands over her face and hide.  She sometimes enjoys reading books with me, but other nights she throws them on the floor.  Food is hit or miss.  She thoroughly enjoys eating all the veggies out of soup and jambalya.  She gets excited for her morning pancakes and fruit too.   Lunch is sometimes questionable.

Zuri LOVES dogs and wants to play with them a lot.  She loves when they are sleeping on the couch and she can crawl all over them and poke them.  Today she thought it was hilarious when Stella kept licking her, but usually she doesn't like to be licked.

We went to Kurt and Dena's for my birthday dinner and Zuri played with Tess. Tess was very gentle and was playing fetch with Zuri.  Zuri was nice enough to share her sippy with Tess too..

Zuri has had a chronic runny nose (I hope she isn't that kid).  She has also had a cough.  We have experienced the stomach flu and many other issues in month 13.  But we all survived it and I am hoping for a much better 14th month!

Here is a photo bomb for you:

 Playing at the Library (hoarding all of the balls)

Zuri loves the snow, which she calls "star?"

Gotta bring the ball!

Seriously, she wants the ball, I tried to buy her a snake!

Sitting in the dog bowl (yes, her pants do not match the outfit, I kept warmer sweats on for crawling on the tile)
