18 months!

Parker turned 18 months on November 22nd!  Since I did a chair picture every month of his first year I decided to post his progress every 6 months thereafter.  We will see how I keep up once the 2nd is here! :) 

Parker LOVES: Elmo of course, Nick Jr. (every morning while he drinks his milk), to be outside and run around, his GiGi and Muhney and the time he gets to spend with them every week.  He loves green beans, string cheese, milk, juice, fruit snacks and bananas.  He loves his blankie, cuddle time with Mommy, to wrestle with his Daddy, to run after the dogs and love on them, to make messes, play in the laundry room/pantry and try on all of our shoes, and most of all he LOVES his new room.....and LOVES Goodnight Moon (we read it almost every night!)  Oh I almost missed the cutest thing he loves to do: DANCE!  The boy has some rhythm...gets it from his Mommy! :)

Parker SAYS: Hi, Bye, Mom, Da, Mo (Milk or Elmo), thank you, there it is, No! (all the time no matter what the question is), and mostly babbles on and on all day long.  He can say hot, button (buh), GiGi, Reeses and Rolo.  He can sign "all done" and "please". 

He is very good at picking up his toys if you clap for him after each pick up...so it takes awhile :)  He is good at ignoring me or hiding when he doesn't want to do something, such as changing his diaper.

He knows where almost all of his body parts are located and points to them when you ask.  You can ask him "Where is the Baby?" and he points to his tummy. 

He is very attached to me and his GiGi right now.  If he remotely thinks we are about to leave he freaks out on us.  Matt and I have learned we have to "spell" things that we don't want him to hear.  One day that won't work so well for us.  He is just at such a fun age right now...

He makes us smile everyday!  We love this little guy to the moon and back!!!!!!!!!
