All about the milestones my itty bitty hits and when he hits them. I can't seem to remember to write down things in a baby book so for the time being this is his online baby book for all to see. If you want to see all the other happenings of our family you can look here.  Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

14 months

Mastered Skills 
• Eats with fingers
• Empties containers of contents
• Imitates others



All good here. He's gotten all of these well mastered. He not only loves emptying containers but also really loves filling them back up as well. Does that mean he's advanced? He also does really well imitating others and it's so cute to see him do it. 

Emerging Skills
 Toddles well
• Initiates games
• Points to one body part when asked

• Responds to instructions (e.g., "give me a kiss") 


Pretty good here as well. He walks practically runs so he does more than just toddle well, he loves to initiate a game of peek-a-boo and responds really well to instructions. He will give you a kiss, high five, tell you where a toy he was playing with it and go get that toy. The only thing he doesn't do so well yet is his body parts. We've been working on them but he doesn't know them well yet. 

Advanced Skills 
• Uses a spoon or fork
• Matches lids with appropriate containers
• Pushes and pullstoys while walking



Micah does well using a spoon and can usually get some beans, applesauce or yogurt up to his mouth. He gets the idea of how to use a fork but can't stab the food yet to get it up to his mouth. He's also been pushing/pulling toys while walking for quite a while. He started using his push toy around 11 months soon after he started walking and shortly after started pulling his string duck around.
