14 months
I’m not sure why but 14 months sounds and feels very grown up all of a sudden!
This whole month we have spent in the UK and Arthur has loved every day!
Something that has made us incredibly proud this month is how much Arthur truly has taken everything in his stride. We’ve been staying in new places, meeting lots of new faces and doing lots of new things. He’s not missed a beat! I thought that it would take him a couple days to get used to our parents’ houses but he certainly made him self at home straight away! Within no time he was bossing everyone around and had everyone wrapped round his little finger!
Sleeping is a little out of sync right now I guess it’s no surprise with lots of days out and staying in new beds!
Food has started to become a bit of an issue for the first time ever. Arthur has started to become a little bit picky and also is favouring grazing small amounts throughout the day as opposed to eating full meals. I’m hoping that when we get back home and get back into a proper routine we will get back to better eating habits again!
His speech is improving so much too! He makes a noise for drink that we all know what it means but I’m not sure how to write it down it sounds pretty alien….it’s kind of spitty in the back of his throat with a bit of a ‘K’ sound in there!
When he wants something he says what sounds like ‘please’ which is pretty cute! Now I’m sure it’s more give me that now than please but I’ve no problem pretending that we just have a super polite little guy!!!
A super exciting new thing he’s saying a lot too is mama (yayyyy!!) it makes me so happy to hear him say it!!
Arthur now gives big sloppy kisses and is becoming very cuddly which of course is lovely! We still occasionally get a bite in there but we think it’s more of an over zealous kiss than a deliberate bite!
He’s been doing this face which we find hilarious where he scrunches up his nose gives a super cheesy grin and closes his eyes! It’s gorgeous!! Here he’s kind of doing it but will have better pictures uploaded to the computer once we are home!!
Today we left Plymouth which of course I’m really sad about and we head back home on Wednesday. I’m excited to see how he is back at home, whether he remembers our house, we’ve been away for 5 weeks and he’s changed so much!!
Ahh Chantelle, It was lovely to meet little A- he is such a lovely chirpy chap! I can’t believe your time in the UK has been & gone already. It sounds like you’ve all had an incredible time & A has settled into the swing of things perfectly- although i’m sure if he could, he’d tell you that like mummy he’s finding it a little cold here!! Safe Journeys back to the tropics my lovely ‘Tropicalle’ laydee. hugs xx

WOW Arthur, you are coming on so much – becoming a real little boy now. Sounds like you have had a fab little holiday adventure and have coped so well with everything – really hard staying in all different houses eating different foods and having different bedtimes – WELL DONE YOU. Happy 14 months gorge boy x Ax

Arthur is such a little cutie, sounds like he’s doing really well. Don worry about the food, something I’ve painstakingly learnt is that they really will eat when they’re hungry. Glad you’ve had a great trip home. Best of luck for returning xx #PoCoLo

My twins are just over 14 months & it’s such a lovely age & their personalities are really starting to come through. But I totally agree – it sounds so grown up to say they’re 14 months!!! x #pocolo

I totally understand Arthur’s sleep is a bit off, and being picky about food is okay for a bit. It will hopefully get better when you get into a routine again. I loved your description of his noise for “drink”. Quite funny. #PoCoLO

He really do look way bigger suddenly! Hopefully things will get back to normal esp the eating part when you go back home =) #pocolo

That’s a great age, perfect time for them to take everything in their stride. Shame about the lack of sleep, tough when you’re travelling, but hope it rights itself once back home. #PoCoLo
He is so gorgeous. I love it when they start getting to this age 🙂 #PoCoLo
