Your baby, 14 months 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 and older

Children learn through play. As your child becomes increasingly interested in more advanced toys, you can make some fun things for him to play with. Not all of his toys need to be store bought. They just need to be safe and stimulating. Your toddler might even be able to help you make something new! Parents and caregivers should play with their children and encorage active learning. When playing, it is best to let him lead the way. After playing for a while your child's way, show him how to something another way. Show him how to combine toys to make playtime more fun. Your child may become aftraid of the dark and may stop playing in his room alone.

Your child is interested in small things. Bugs, pebbles, crumbs and other small items are fun for her. Your child can stoop and stand back up agian. Sometimes your child will drop things just to have you pick them up for her. If you are not careful, this will soon turn into a game that she loves!

Your child can let you know when she wants something and is beginning to increase her vocabulary. He likes to make sounds and might scream to let you know just how powerful his voice can be. He inititates games and will bring you books or toys that he enjoys.

By fourteen months, you will have to limit the amount of television your toddler watches. The television should not be used as a babysitter and the programs she watches should be monitored. Watching the television does not give your toddler a chance to explore and develop muscles.

A child this age is mobile and curious! Take special precautions to prevent poisoning. Everyday items can be poisonous if a child were to consume them. Colognes, cleaners, spices,garden plants, and lots of other items are dangerous. Keeping a clean and clutter free home can help eliminate hazards. Keep the number of the poison control center posted at each phone in case of an emergency.

Discipline can be hard, but it is an important part of parenting. Disciplining your child is important to help them grow into responsible adults. By fourteen months, your child already has developed a close bond with you. He knows that you love him and he trusts you. During the second year of life, toddlers want to please their parents by completing simple instructions. Your child will also begin to mimic your behaviors. Set your rules and stick to them. When your child is misbehaving, pull them aside and remind them of the rules.

Joshua has slept pretty good the last 2 nights (he usually wakes up a lot for water) then wakes up early with what seems to be nightmares. I hate this stupid vacation.

Lillianshappymommy - Wednesday, 11 Jul
that's great news about the house and the ad bella! lillian LOVES strawberries and watermelon. everytime she eats them she's mmmmmmmming and closing her eyes. lol too funny. so had her 15 month appointment and her doctor kinda scared me. not kinda she scared the crap out of me. when lilly was born she had a collection of blood cells growing underneath her skin on her color bone. You can't really tell it's there unless you have a direct view of her color bone. it was the size of a pea but recently it grew to the size of a penny and more people have asked me about it. It honestly looks like a bruise so people thinkg I hit her or something and that's why they feel they can ask. smh. rolled eyes. anyways, her doctor told me that because it has gotten bigger they think it's not capillaries but the actual blood vessels that are collecting. I had to make a demertalogist appointment and they are going to see if it has to be removed. etc. that's not what scared me the most though. she warned me that if it is the blood vessels it could easily burst! if that happens I am to rush her to the emergency room! O_OO I am so terrified that I don't want her to do anything right now! She also scared me when she said lillians temperament is very friendly. which means that she will walk off with a stranger and won't scream or cry and so I have to be extra careful with her. I wanted to cry! I love that she's so friendly and that she's open to new people but I don't want her to be snatched up by some stranger when we're walking outside. and this is new york city it's happened before. :( Now I'm afraid to even let her do anything! sigh. on a good note she is now 23 pounds and 1 ounce and 32 inches long! she got three booster shots today and when the nurse went to put a bandaid on her she kicked her hands away. lol it was really funny, but I'm still terrified. lol

Joshua had foods that he ate no problem then all of a sudden he didnt want them anymore. He used to love bananas and cheese then all of a sudden he didnt. He drinks milk with carnation breakfast in the morning cause he was so small. He's still under 20 lbs. I give him water and add a splash of juice sometimes. He drinks almost a cup of water through the night. Not going to be good for potty training.

bellablue - Wednesday, 11 Jul
That works for me hun i will make the time! I would love to meet up and fianlly meet you that be so much fun! I will be free either one of those days i will make sure! so excitng! :)--Arianna drinks about 20 oz a day in two sippy cups one in morning with breakfast and one at night before bed she loves water gets it all day and sometimes for breakfast oj watered down--She is a little piggy to lol but she loves cheese anything with cheese/scarmbles eggs with cheese/grilled cheese lol she LOVES raisans to i mean loves them lol!
