Sensory Saturday!

P painted for the first time this weekend!  
I gave him his paci so he wouldn't eat it and his hands never went to his mouth!
He absolutley loved it!
Made a huge mess, made memories, and had a blast.

Halloween 2013

P had a Halloween party at daycare and was a Minion!
I took him to trick or treat at dad's work but other than that we sat home and he thought it was pretty cool to help us hand out candy.....
unless the dogs freaked out, then he was a cry fest!
So, not many pictures this year for us...but one is better than none (like last year haha).

Pumpkin Carving

Dad carved a pumpkin with P this year!  
P thought it was pretty cool...but wanted to eat it the whole time!

 waiting patiently to start....
 one of our many pumpkins



Not too sure if he should eat it...
not too sure if he liked it....
but he kept trying to go back for more goop!

{party time!}

We started our official birthday out with doughnuts for breakfast! 



Just like mom, he loves them!

 Made pumpkin cookies for his guests!

 Smash cake! Nothing too exciting but it was homemade!















We had such a fun time!  
We set up a chili bar in the garage and our house was PACKED!
I wanted to decorate more and have more things out, you know, a pinterest worthy party.....
then I regained consciousness and realized I didn't need to do all of that because just being with people who cared about Parker was all that mattered.  

{12 months} updated


[month 10]
[month 11]

P baby weighed in at 21 lbs 6 oz (20%) on November 15 at his One year appt.
31.75 (90%) in tall
and a big ole noggin (50%)!

HE:

is a super busy boy! ....

has 8 teeth....
currently working on 4 molars and 2 eye teeth

likes to play by himself.....

is still working on going DOWN the stairs...

is not liking leaving the house in the morning....

eats like a champ.....
I'm fairly certain his favorite foods are chicken and peas

is a talking machine.....

hasn't had a bottle for a few weeks now!



.............................................................................

Some things that were loved this month for Parker....

Boogie Wipes-- he may hate them, but his nose is so crusty and these help so much to get it off and then to get it to drain!

Tommee Tippee cups win again!  P drink so nicely from them for us and they generally don't spill even when he throws them or shakes them like a wild man!

Swiffer dry mop--keeps him entertained while I'm doing the rest of the floor.  He's pretty good at it too!
..........................................................................

I totally spaced out taking his picture with Jeffrey and with his month sticker, but we have pictures from the 19th at his birthday party.  I'll get a 13 month picture in a few weeks.

He will have his one year appointment later this week.  We had to reschedule and this was the soonest they could get us in so now our appointments will be off.  Oh well.

He is really starting to get the hang of running!  He chases Murphy around the house and plays sneak.  He isn't very good though because he just laughs the whole time we are sneaking up on dad.

He is still carrying around his lovies daily.  He is still getting his pacifier for sleep times, crabby times, and car rides.  He is so good about taking it out and just handing it over too, so hopefully it won't be to hard to break him of the habit!

He is getting so active and so tall!  He likes to try new foods and sometimes will keep eating it even if he isn't too pleased with it.  Except beans.  He must not like the outside skin??

He seems to be enjoying life, so that is all that matters.  We love him to the moon and back a bajillion times.

{11 months}



[month 10]

P baby is 21 pounds now!

HE:

is a walking almost running machine! ....

is starting to give kisses and wave.....

is still being a termite.......

working on learning how to go down the stairs.....

likes to eat the grass and leaves........

is starting to leave his plate on his highchair tray......

has started to not like eating vegetables and fruit unless they are in pouch form......

still has 7 teeth, but #8 is almost through the gums....

is enjoying watching football with daddy......

has been a bear to wake up some mornings.....

got his first haircut!...



.............................................................................

Some things that were loved this month for Parker....

Munchkin Snack Catcher -- this thing is awesome...until he holds one of the flaps down and shakes it!

Paper Towels-- sometimes washing him up after a meal is easier with these than a washcloth....why? I don't know, he just doesn't squirm and scream as much!

..........................................................................

P baby is a growing boy!  He is loving life and making memories.   He is still extremely talkative and flirty.  Our friends gave us their old swing set and Chad got it set up; P is enjoying being able to run around the backyard and to the swing set!

 Sometimes we still aren't too sure about the grass, but he isn't crying when he touches it anymore! He is slowly getting new "words" and making tons more noises.

He likes to roll anything with wheels and makes the cutest car noises when he does it.  Also, he has been clicking hi tongue--way cuter than the teeth grinding!

P is back at daycare full time and seems to enjoy his time there.  I sure do miss hanging out and playing with him all day though.

Jeffrey and the month sticker stood no chance this month.  Oye.

{10 months}



P baby is over 20lbs now
(we had a quick checkup a few weeks ago)

HE:

is enjoying table food that WE give him that WE know he isn't going to break out
from or set his reflux off....

helps out with laundry......

finally napping a bit at daycare......

likes to play with the dog water dish.....

has stopped trying to climb out of his wagon and hangs onto the sides during wagon rides.....

still likes to play by himself sometimes and with us sometimes......

LOVES to splash--but doesn't love water in his face **must get that one from me ha!**.......

stil won't wear a hat.......

thinks it's cool to stand up in his carseat before we buckle him
up or when we unbuckle at our destination.....

enjoys looking through his books....
...he absolutely loves a book called "One love" baed off of the Bob Marley song...

is moving swiftly into 12 month clothes.....

VERY recently started waving.....

.............................................................................

Some things that were loved this month for Parker and Mommy....

Zoli snack/formula container- This is cool and takes up way less space then having to carry a formula dispenser and a snack holder!

Cheerios.  Kid loves cheerios. 
..........................................................................

This last month went by WAY WAY to quickly.  He took a few steps last month, started back up full time at daycare, has good days and bad, has good nights and bad nights, and it's just been a whirlwind.
He puts up a terrible fight to get dressed morning, noon, and night.
He doesn't give kisses and sometimes we get hugs.
Some days I think he should be doing more than what he is, but then I take a step back into reality and realize he is just fine and doing great with where he is.
He's been a pretty good shopper too!  We have to strap him into the cart though other wise he likes to climb out of the seat!
He continues to amaze us.
Short and sweet this month!
