boys and their toys

Just as a quick update: our little man is now walking! He still gets down and crawls if there is something he wants to get to really quickly (or if he's trying to catch up to his cousins!).
  • favorite foods (he's in this phase where one day he loves something and the next day he doesn't...so we have to re-try things every other day right now): blueberry pop-tarts, bananas, grilled ham & cheese sandwiches, tamales, crisp chicken burritos, freeze-dried apples & pears, Honeycombs and toast with jelly on it
  • baby signs: "more" (he started out just doing after prompting a couple days ago...but today Nonni gave him a little piece of a chocolate chip cookie and he followed her and did the sign for more a couple times wanting more bites!)
  • says: "mom" & "dad", and makes a bunch of other noises!
  • new things he loves to do: lay his head down on everything, play in the dog water (he really loves to stand with one foot in the dog water dish), try to steal Deacon's food, climb the stairs (and everything else), watch Daddy mow the lawn, ride on the riding lawn mower, cram himself into tight spaces, yank on anything with bars and play with all the shoes in the shoe basket by the door.
  • tooth count: Parker now has 4 teeth on the top and 2 teeth on the bottom with 2 more that have just broken through the skin
The other day we decided that because Parker loves to play in small spaces so much, that maybe he needs a tunnel toy to play with. We found this one at Toys R Us and he loves it!
{if you look close you can see him in the yellow block on the right}

{it even has a ball pit in the center block}
{he really likes trying to stick his face through these holes}
While we were all sitting around the table eating dinner (Parks had already finished eating), just a couple feet away Parker somehow tipped over one of the dining room chairs after scooting it over to the carpet. He climbed up onto the back of the chair and was peeking over the top at all of us at the table. He knew that he was being funny and kept doing it over and over!
peek-a-boo
Then Drayson came over to play with the tipped over chair too. He thought it was funny to drop his lovie down between the legs and pick it back up again!

Notice all the drool on Park's shirt...yup we are getting two more teeth in! Ahhh...the joy of teething!
