13 months!

Thursday Parker turned 13 months. I have lots of random pics, so I hope you enjoy.

Here are some things Parker has been doing:
-he's scooching - not fully crawling yet, but he's definitely able to move all over the place to get where he needs to be
-he can stand propped on something - he's getting really good at this; he loves to stand up
-we are working on taking steps - he is catching on to this by actually picking up his leg and moving it forward - this is HUGE for Parker!
-he has started drinking whole milk 1 time a day - I have to add a scoop of formula to it, but at least we're headed in the right direction
-he loves to swing - we take him outside and as soon as we put him in the swing, he's grabbing on to the ropes; the past few days he's started shaking his legs when the swing starts to slow down (it's pretty funny)
-he's eating table food - his favorites are: chicken, applesauce, peaches, mac-n-cheese, and mashed potatoes
-he recognizes nose and mouth - we can say those 2 words and he can touch them on our faces
-he lets us know when he's still hungry or wants more by kicking his legs, grunting, or kindof screaming (a funny scream)

My mom got Parker this bat. It's a soft bat and Parker has figured out he really likes it. Brad and I say in this picture he is kissing the "sweet spot" on the bat.


Parker banging his bat on this tambourine. He loved it and thought it was so funny! He was giggling and laughing the entire time.



Kissing the sweet spot again!

Here we are standing on the crib - one of his favorite places to stand.

Parker is absolutely fascinated with our audio box in our tv cabinet. Everytime we put him in the floor - he always crawls to it. He loves punching all the buttons. We think he likes all the lights and we think he's figured out sound comes out of the box.

Parker in the "big boy" tub. My sister told me this would be a great blackmail pic when Parker is older. I'm definitely thinking this is one of those pics that will be in the "growing up" video at his wedding!

Ok, this one to me is just hilarious! This is what Parker does sometimes when he drinks his milk. He drinks most of it, then he starts swinging his sippy cup and then he turns the cup upside down over his head. This is the finished product after I caught Parker in the act!
