Ok y’all I hope my emotional brain is telling me some bad information!
My logic brain is quietly saying “nooooooo???”
My anxiety brain is telling me that my 14 month old
* Biting me until I bruise
* RUNNNING to bite EVERYONES toes
* pulling my hair and my husbands hair like he has a CLUMP of hair in his hand
* ripping off my glasses and immediately putting them in his mouth to lick them
I’m saying no firmly no smiles or anything.
He is DYING LAUGHING.
Is he going to grow up and hurt others?

Nope not at all!
I promise you this is totally age appropriate behaviour. He is just a baby! He doesn't even understand he can hurt you! He doesn't even understand that other people exist and have thoughts and feelings!
He will grow out of it

Lmfao no human ever was born knowing to not try to put things in their mouths. No human ever randomly one day decided “no more non food items in my mouth”, we were all once 14 month olds that wanted to see how everything felt in our mouths. The adults around us taught us different ways to explore the world instead of through our mouths.
Same can be said for being too rough with our hands.
When we were little kids, everybody told us we were tiny and little, we literally did not know our own strength until we grew up.
You’ve got a small human in the making, not a serial killer or toe licker,

Sound like a normal 14m kid

Very common in babies this age, but sorry to say, you should’ve started nipping it in the bud about a year ago. I get started from that first hair pulling around 4m. We all know it’s perfectly healthy & natural to sensory seek, but that doesn’t mean I have to tolerate being pulled, pinched & bit, so I get them used to the fact if they play mean, I will quit playing & walk away from anyone who treats me badly, including them. When they’re really little I put them down w/an ideal item to harass, but no matter the age I say something like “mommy doesn’t have to play/hang out w/people who are mean/unfair to her”, “nice hands” is only a reminder beforehand around here, dad & brudder do the same. The real good part, I’ve gotten to witness both of my kids walking away from mean kids to play w/nice ones by the time they were 2yo & still 2yrs away from being verbal. Now this isn’t to say they don’t rough house play, they just make sure they ask first & still don’t try to hurt anyone.

No one warns people about the stage between newborn and terrible twos. It's literally the most loving form of hell. I don't even know how to describe it fr.
Anyways, it's normal and the doctors count mouthing as a milestone so you are okay. Good luck and bless you. We are all here to talk if you need.
Mine just turned two 😅. You got this
