The Big Surprise

Well, as I stated in my last blog...we have a surprise! Parker is officially walking! He decided to take those long awaited steps a few days before his first birthday. Within a week he has mastered the skill and is ALL over the place.

ok, this pic is really small, but you get the idea.



We went to the doctor for our 1 year checkup. Here's the run down:

* Height - 31" (85%)
* Weight - 27 lb (91%)
* Head - 49.2 (97+%)

At 1 year, Parker can do lots of things...
* Words you say are: truck, duck, momma, dadda, na-na (nonni), and a few others I think you are saying, but not sure (like "ell" for Bella)
* You see a picture of a cow and you make a "moo" sound
* You point at what you want
* You give mommy whatever I ask for
* You imitate the sounds I make
* You make the truck sound when you are playing with your trucks or trains
* You love to read. You will hand me book after book and sit for a very long time listening to me read.
* You are a climber
* You throw major fits when you don't get your way. Mommy ignores you :)
* You take 1 nap a day...you will sleep for around 2 hours.
* Your bed time is 7:00 and you will sleep until 7:00 or 7:30 every morning. I love this!
* You love to make mommy and daddy laugh and you love chasing Bella around the house.

That's about it for our first year...so faithful blog readers I will leave you with this...one last surprise...


Making his/her debut first of June 2010!!!

And the journey at the White House continues...
