Tapanga is 14 months!

Tapanga is a joy at 14 months old!!  She is walking everywhere, climbing onto everything, up and down the stairs independently, and its just beginning to walk on uneven surfaces since the weather is finally nice this week!  She likes to hold a hand and walk some though she is slow and gets distracted easily.  She tries to do a lot that Tank does and he has a short fuse for it sometimes.  Other times they laugh and play on the couch for a while together!

Tapanga loves to eat!  She can sit and eat and eat and isn't picky!  Her biting has calmed down and I just finished nursing her on 4/7.

This month continues her swim sessions.  She loves the water and can hold onto the side and put her leg up really well.  She loves when I lift her off the side into the water!!  Now that she says "duck", that is her favorite part of the class.  She even sees them in the bag at the beginning of the class and we don't duck hunt until the end.  Pending on the instructor there are also balls.  She says "ball" and gets excited to do this part of the lesson.  I have the kids in separate swim sessions so after Tank's class the three of us swim together afterward.  This makes quite the adventure in showering all of us and getting dressed!

Tapanga loves her baby dolls.  She is very possessive over any doll in front of other kids.  I have been babysitting my neighbor's twins and Tapanga did not want to share any of her baby dolls.  She has become very opinionated lately!  She and Tank even fight over them as well.  She will put her dolls in his truck and push them around the room!!  It's really cute!

We went to an Agriculture Day and there were lots of goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, etc.  Tapanga is very brave and wanted to pet everything!!  Tank not so much!  I was kinda surprised!
