It's Jake birthday! He's a pi dog - 3/14 - and he's 5 years old. We've had so much fun spoiling our little doggie-child. Jake has had a great day - he got some gourmet cookies, a new toy, and some other chew treats.
A funny story . . .I took Jake to PetsMart earlier and we were picking out a birthday toy, when all of a sudden, I look at Jake and he's pooping!!! In PetsMart!!! I was like, you have got to be kidding me! Of course, PetsMart is used to this and they have "Oops" stations throughout the store, so I cleaned up Jake's mess. I guess Jake thought since it was his birthday, he would do whatever he wanted to. I couldn't believe he did that - he has never done that before!
Enjoy the pics of Jake's birthday party fun!
Jake's gourmet cookies - he couldn't wait to get one!
Saturday we went to a 1-year birthday party for a neighbor friend of ours. We had lots of fun. There were many girls there, so Parker was one of just a few boys, but he still had fun.
Parker got Meghan this toy, and he has one just like it, but he couldn't figure out why he couldn't move it and play with it, like he does with his at home.
Parker was trying to get in the mix of all the gifts, but he was just outnumbered by all the girls!
Parker had a fun time at Miss Meghan's birthday party. Thanks Mike and Cami - we had a great time!
We went to eat at Chick-Fil-A and Parker drank from his juice box for the 1st time! YEAH! I have tried sippy cups with straws, but he doesn't really think too much of those. So, a friend of mine told me to try the juice boxes, with the smaller straws. So, I did and he caught on to the idea really quick! I started out by putting the straw in his mouth and squeezing the juice. It was hilarious - when the juice went into his mouth - his eyes lit up. It was like, "Oh my, there is juice!!" It was pretty funny. So, after a couple of times of doing this, he actually started sucking some out of the straw. I had to hold the juice box, but hey, small steps - right??!! Needless to say, I was a very proud mommy!
Well, our little man turned 18 months today! I can't believe it - time just seems to fly by! He is making good progress and we are still waiting on him to walk! Ugh! I swear, he is on his own timeline. He's cruising and crawling like crazy - just in no hurry to walk! Hopefully in the next month or two.
A few new things with Parker:
-he's developing a cute little personality
-he crawls on all 4s everywhere and getting faster every day
-he loves to drop things and then smiles or laughs
-he has 2 new teeth (for a total of 7)
-he likes to grab his books and he can almost hand them to us
-he's very intrigued with Jake (sometimes Jake just wants to be by himself)
-he's still not talking much, but he understands a lot of what we say
-he weighs about 28lbs, but we'll get an exact weight when we go for his check-up next week
Monday was a beautiful day - 60 degrees - so we celebrated by eating at Chick-Fil-A, then coming home and playing in the yard and going for a wagon ride in our neighborhood. Enjoy the pics of our day!
Getting ready for our wagon ride in the neighborhood.
Parker was excited to go in the backyard and play!
I think I have a future mini-Brad on my hands - intrigued with the grass already at 18 months!
