So... Do you like green beans or not?

11 months

My baby is 11 months old! I'm kind of freaking out at how fast this whole motherhood thing goes.

Parker Walking!!

(with Aunt Allie, Roxy, and Grandma Fairchild)
Thanks Uncle Rick for the video

November was a HUGE month for Parker. He took his first steps on Thanksgiving Day! He had been wanting to walk for a couple of weeks and would take one step/lunge towards me, but he wasn't balanced enough. Then, on Thanksgiving, tempted by some chips and dip, he went for it. I can't give you much more information than that because Jake and I weren't even there! Can you believe that!? I have been with this kid every day of his life and the one afternoon Jake and I decide to get out alone he walks. The nerve. He will still get down and crawl for things because he's much faster at that, but he's definitely interested in walking. Last night, he turned and saw a hat laying on the other side of the room and started walking for it. He didn't get all the way there... still only four or five steps then he just plops down and crawls or loses balance.

Other than the walking there's no other huge milestones. He might be saying "dog" (he says "daaaa") but I'm not 100% sure.

Parker still LOVES Roxy... she loves the food he drops...

Parker saw horses and mules over Thanksgiving weekend...

...and he learned how to drive...

He has been a pain to change or put in the car seat and he'll throw major temper tantrums! Other than that he is a very happy baby!! He just needs to learn how to cuddle more and I will be in heaven.
