14 Months

Rachel turned 14 months old yesterday. She seems like she is getting so old so quickly. She is acting so much older recently. She wants to communicate so much with us. She is now nodding yes and not just no anymore. If we ask her if she wants something she will nod yes if she wants it. If I ask her if she wants something that is in another room, she will run towards it if she wants it. I have taught her a little bit of sign language and she uses it as needed. She can tell me if she is hungry, thirsty, tired, or wants milk. She loves the cats. She gives them hugs and kisses all day long. I think she wants a puppy too. Every time she sees a dog, she says puppy over and over and wants to go up to it. Too bad for her that Tim and I are not dog people.

She has been riding her train backwards a lot for the past week or so.

When she gets tired, she pulls the boppy off of the couch and lays down on it.

She is just so happy most of the time. If you ask her if she is happy, she will say "happy".

She has been doing this goofball smile so much recently. When we were walking through Target the other day, she would smile like this at every single person we would pass. Everybody would say that she is such a happy girl. I think that she LOVES the attention that she gets in the store.

Her hair is getting out of control. The pieces that go over her ears often swoops onto her face and looks ridiculous.

She has really taken an interest in books recently. We will look through one and then she will run and get another for me until we have gone through all of the ones that are out and then go through them all again.
