I can’t find the next number in this sequence. Can you?

My 4th grader is home sick today and we’re doing a little book of “BrainStrains” puzzles. I can’t for the life of me explain this one to him because I can’t figure it out myself. Hopefully someone here can explain it to me.

Here’s the problem: “A connoisseur in wine, who only drinks “Chateau Snack”, buys a series of bottles. It would appear though that the dates of the vintages follow a strange logic. What would be the vintage year to appear on the label of the next bottle?

1914, 1919, 1929, 1940, ____?

1944…

Each number has added to it the sum of the last two digits of the previous number

1914 = 1914 + 1 + 4 = 1919
1919 = 1919 + 1 + 9 = 1929
etc.
