Parker 11 Months

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Parker is 11-months old today, 20.8 lbs and 28 inches (yes the same as last month). His new favorite thing is to pull books from bookshelves and then tear out pages, we have decided for the sake of our books, Parker is banned from bookshelves (easier said than done), I think he really misses his favorite target--Mom's old textbook on Employment Law. He has become very curious and loves to explore. One of his favorite items to put in his mouth is pieces of carpet, which he will then chew on; I have pulled a ton of carpet pieces out of his mouth. We have received a lot of comments about Parker's hair; its getting pretty full in the back and curly. I think it is super cute, but now it needs to be cut soon. I was hoping to wait until his Grandma comes home from Africa at the end of May and can cut it for him. His new thing is to arch his back when we go to pick him up after he is getting into something he shouldn't. He is sleeping through the night again (yipee) after a few rough weeks of the "crying method" and me giving in a few too many times, our night sleeper seems to be back (we're keeping our fingers crossed). Parker also got a new car seat this month and seems to like it as much as his last one (which isn't much), and we get the new adventure of him riding in grocery carts without the carseat. He is still giving great kisses and hugs, I hope he never grows out of that one.
