Berg Twins: Very Active 14-Month Olds!

It's been a week since the boys turned 14 months, but I must still write this post because we celebrated so many milestones this past month! And, here they are...

-This past month, the boys started saying more words, like baby, apple juice, hi, bye, and momo (ie. moose). And, they're constantly trying to mouth or repeat the words we're teaching them. They've also started learning their body parts. Bryce knows his tummy, nose, mouth, teeth, head, and hair... Benjamin knows some of these but is showing less interest in learning. :)

-They're also starting to really understand what we're saying and able to follow many commands.

-They both also got more teeth! Bryce got one more front tooth (which now makes eight), and I think one of his molars is starting to come in. Ben's molars have definitely started to come in! This past month, he got three more teeth (I think 2 of them are molars), and a few more are about to come in!

-Not only did the boys started standing (without holding on to anything) for long periods of time, but they've also started walking several steps. At first Bryce seemed to be more determined to walk and he started taking 5 steps vs Benjamin's 3. But, then recently, Benjamin decided he was really ready and started taking even more steps, and today he took 15! Am I ready for this?

-They are now facing forward in their carseats.

-They went to the dentist for the first time.

-Both got the hand, foot and mouth disease for the first time. :(

-We've started putting them in timeout! Ben usually gets put in timeout for biting, while Bryce for hitting. :(

I didn't take any official 14-month pictures, but here is a series of pictures from that day covering a span of approximately 10 minutes of entertainment that I received from these two VERY active little boys...

It all began with my cute little Bryce appearing very calm and relaxed on his couch...
