23 months!

My little man is 1 month closer to turning 2!! I can't believe he is already 23 months - where did the time go?  Parker is a lot of fun and he really thinks he's hot stuff - hah! Here are a few things about Parker:

-weighs about 30lbs

-about 33-34in long

-has 14 teeth

-takes 1 nap a day (about 1 1/2-2hrs)

-walks about 50% of the time (he still likes crawling, but he's starting to figure out he can walk better)

-can get up on his own, if he's in the middle of the room and/or if he's sitting (before, he could only get up by pulling up or holding on to something)

-he's extremely curious about everything

-still a great eater (eats everything on his plate)

-likes to brush his teeth (I brush them first, then I let him do it); I sing this silly song while he brushes his teeth and he loves it!

-loves his preschool and his teacher (he sleeps on a cot at school and he will fall asleep on his own now)

-loves books and loves to look through them

-likes to roll the ball with Brad and I

Parker is fascinated with turning the water on and off!!

Parker loves story time! This is part of our nighttime routine. Parker gets to drink a cup of milk and we read stories together. I love that time together!

This is when he first woke up. Poor thing - he's been jamming his fingers in his mouth for a few days, because he's got lots of teeth coming in.

He really didn't want to get up this morning!

Parker loves his I Spy book!

Sorry in advance to my friend Whitney, who is a media specialist. She is probably cringing seeing Parker hold the book like this. I did correct him quickly Whit - hah!

Parker likes to blow bubbles and make funny sounds.

I don't think I ever posted a picture of the finished playset, so here it is.  Brad did all the rock work and built the footbridge! It's a really nice area to play in now.
