14 Months!

My sweet Parker is 14 months old today!  I decided now that he is a year I was going to take his monthly post to every other month! 

I just cannot believe how big he is getting.  Changes everyday!  I have had quite a few ppl comment over the past few weeks how mature he is starting to look and how he is losing that "baby" look.  Although I know its true, it breaks my heart.  Where has the time gone?

Parker is so active and always on the go.  I do not know where he gets his energy from...bc little man still isnt a huge fan of food!  He keeps me busy and on my toes and I love it!  Here are some things about Parker at 14 months!

-He is a monkey...climbing everywhere.  This child has no fear.  He climbs out of his car to get on his slide or onto the couch, ontop of the furniture, onto chairs...anything he can climb he does!  Makes me so nervous!

-He is running!  And those little legs are fast...didnt get that from his momma! ha!

-He LOVES books!  When he gets up in the morning he goes straight to his book basket and sits down!  We read the same books over and over again all day!

-He is not a fan of being in the shopping cart or his stroller.  He thinks since he can walk...he should always walk.  That means sometimes to keep him from screaming, there are times we are in the store for twice as long bc I let him walk.  It is so cute though!

-He is talking/babbling all the time.  He says Mama, Dada, tickle, bye bye, hot, bubble and mee(which I am pretty certain is milk as he only seems to say it when he wants his milk or sees me pouring it.) 

-He is no longer taking a bottle.  All sippy cups!  It was a really easy transition for him.  I think it was harder on me.  I just slowly took away one bottle at a time and he never seemed to mind.

-He has not taken a paci in about 3 or so months.  I didnt take it from him he just stopped using it on his own.  Keeping my fingers crossed he doesnt go to the thumb!

-Still doesnt love food as I mentioned, but each day gets bettter and better.  He has found a serious LOVE for garden veggie burgers and if that is the only way he wants to get his protein and vegetables...I will just have to be okay with that for now!

-His crib mattress is now sitting on the bedframe(the lowest setting)...no more cute bedskirt :(  This little monkey was about to climb out so we had to lower it.  Now I can barely reach him if he is laying down!!

Parker,

You amaze me and your daddy everyday!  You are so sweet and your laugh melts my heart.  I completely melt each time you squint those beautiful eyes and give me your biggest teeth baring grin!  I cannot believe how quickly you are growing up.

We love you so much!
