Dear Delaney-

You are 14 months old! You are cuter than ever and Daddy and I love you more and more each day! I think your biggest accomplishment this month is your expanding vocabulary! You try to say almost everything we say! You are becoming quite the little parrot! Recently we have heard you say flower, orange, green, blue, all done, nana (for banana), thank you, up, and down. Those are all clearly.. you say a lot of other things.. but not so clearly just yet! What is so sweet is that you TRY to say everything! You still love to read books and you can spend quite some time reading to yourself.. jabbering all the way! You even pick out books and back up your little botom into mama or dada's lap to listen to us read to you! It's so stinkin' cute!

You are becoming very independent and think you can do everything on your own. You still love to play outside... although posing for pictures is not your favorite thing these days! You just run away from the camera... laughing all the way! You love to throw and kick balls and watch them bounce away before chasing after them. At the Little Gym... you go crazy when the balls are all dumped out onto the floor... pure euphoria!

You have recently taken an interest in your bath crayons. Which provides a wonderful opportunity for mommy and daddy to teach you letters and colors. This is when you started saying orange, green and blue....but orange is the cutest! I think you like orange the best. You also can say A when mama draws an A on the tub wall.

I think my favorite thing you have started doing this month is giving squeezy hugs. You wrap your sweet little arms around our necks and give the most fantastic and loving little hugs! They make me melt!

We love you baby girl!

Love, Mama and Dada
