14 Months Old

Donnie is 14 months old and the cutest little boy I've ever seen.  He is getting quite a vocabulary using 19 words (I won't say how many Cadynce was using), and he knows 15 signs.  I want to emphasize that he KNOWS 15 signs...he refuses to use them.  I think he's pretty tall right now.  Every time he's standing eye to eye to a little kid I always like to ask how old they are, and all of them have been 18 or 19 months old.  I like to imagine him at least 6'3".

 He decided to really fight back yesterday when Cadynce took a toy from him while we were at the park.  She grabbed it out of his hands and he hit her with both hands as hard as he could, then he grabbed her shirt while she was trying to get away.  All we could do was laugh...we have been waiting for this day.  Donnie has been tossed around, sat on, pushed to the ground, kicked, pinched, and a whole lot more (by Cadynce of course).  Donnie has become a tough kid in the last 14 months thanks to his big sister.  Even after all of that, he loves his big sister.  He wants to do everything she does and he loves to just be with her.  He loves to swim, loves animals, and loves to play outside.  He would stay outside all day if it wasn't so hot.  He is an awesome little guy and melts my heart with every smile.
