I better hurry and get this 14 month post up before Elise is 15 months! First, here is a long overdue little video of Elise at 13-14 months old. CLICK HERE.
At 14 months old, Elise is learning new words and phrases such as "row, row, row" (your boat), "that's all" when something is gone or finished, and "ow" while showing me where she's hurt. She is also in the middle of getting two more bottom teeth, for a grand total of 8. Elise knows she's not supposed to walk on the couch or chair (because she likes to then plop down and risk falling off), but she does it anyway and thinks it's hilarious. Cheeky girl!
Elise knows several body parts and can point to them-- eyes, nose, mouth, ears, tummy. She loves the songs "If You're Happy and You Know It", "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Wheels on the Bus". Elise is also really into "5 Little Monkeys" and shakes her finger and pats her head along with it-- so cute!
Elise's growth stats are: height 90% (79.5cm) and weight 58% (9.5 kg). When she was born, we thought Elise was going to be our chunky baby due to her chubby cheeks, but we were wrong! It appears that for all the blonde and blue Finley and Elise got from Daddy, they must have gotten Mommy's height!
