Our big, little guys turned 18 months old! We can't believe how grown up he has become and we are kinda sad that our baby is growing up! He finally started walking! He really could walk for a month or so, but just didn't want to. Then one day he just gave in and decided to do it himself! We were happy, since he is pretty heavy to lug around! Here are a few things about Parks at 18 months old:
He had his first big boy hair cut! We didn't cut off a ton, just a little bit because we love his curls too much! He didn't quite know what was going on at first, but once we gave him a sucker he was happy.
He is getting pretty good at making messes! If the kids leave markers down, he will draw all over the place and suck on them too! I have forgotten what it is like to have a little one who gets into everything.
He loves suckers! If he sees anyone with one he freaks out and has to have one!
People say that he looks like his Mama, what do you think? I am just happy to have at least one of my kids look a little bit like me!
Maddie loves to read to him before his nap and he loves it too!
He is kinda a picky eater, but he LOVES fruit, chicken nuggets, and soymilk and yogurt (still allergic to milk). He still loves baby food, which is weird for his age. He will eat any of the baby food if it is fruit or sweet potatoes and he loves to suck them through a straw! I know it is strange, but it is actually pretty convenient and healthy!
He loves his blankie and all you have to do is put it on your shoulder and he will cuddle with you! We love it!! He really is the best cuddler ever!
This is really strange, but he is scared of bare belly buttons. We figured it out while he was playing on Cam while he was lying down and his shirt came up and showed his belly. Parker made a strange face and whined, until he put his shirt down and covered his belly up. Now even if the kids lift up their shirt and show their belly, Parker doesn't like it. So weird and I have no idea where he got this from!!
He is saying a few words: mom, dad, hot, nana, ball, shoes, socks, done, yes. When you tell him to sing, he sings in his own language in the cutest, softest voice. He also is really good at signing more and eat.
He absolutely loves balls, shoes, & dogs. Everytime our nieghbor's dogs bark, his face lights up and he barks. He loves to put on his shoes and he loves to go bye bye. Often times he just waves at me and looks at the door like he wants to go somewhere. Our house always has tons of balls rolling around and that is the first thing he will grab in a pile of toys.
He doesn't like nursery. None of my kids have, so I guess I should be used to it!
He is so very cute, though, when he folds his arms for prayers.
He is getting really good at his little scowl. When I tell him NO, he just gives me the dirtiest look ever. It is pretty funny, until he does it to complete strangers!
He really is the sweetest, most chill little boy in the entire world! We love him soooo much and wish he would stop growing up. We love you Parks!!
