14 things I love about my 14 month old
1. He loves to dance.
2. He helps throw trash in the trash can and put the laundry away.
3. He still only has two bottom teeth - it makes for a cute smile.
4. He'll feed himself (squirt pouches of baby food and his sippy cup of smoothie) with no mess. Still lots of mess with spoons.
5. He tries to jump! Very cute!
6. He is trying to talk a lot more - dog, duck, ball, balloon, bubbles, mama, dada, octopus (says ah, ah, ah - it's from a song about an octopus), tries to say "uh-oh" (just a high pitch "uh")
7. He is sleeping much better - 7:30 - 6:00 most nights.
8. He is better at getting changed and getting in his car seat.
9. He tries to talk on the phone.
10. Sometimes he crawls on top of me just to give kisses... they're sloppy.

11. He will cuddle with me - at least for a few minutes.
12. He likes his nighttime routine with dad. I can tell I don't read books or play games the same way. He looks upset and annoyed when I don't do things the w ay Jake does. I love that they have that special relationship.
13. He's getting so smart! I'm always amazed when he can point to something or do something I've asked for the first time. It proves how he is listening to everything! Jake and I really need to start that swear jar.... Anyways, we have a book about gorillas thumping their chests, so Parker learned how to thump his chest. The book had a cartoon looking gorilla, so I was shocked when Parker saw a photograph of a gorilla and started thumping his chest. It was cool that the idea of a gorilla transferred from weird looking cartoon to other images. I have other examples of how Parker is destined for Harvard, but I'll spare you all.... Just kidding. I'm just excited he's getting smarter than Roxy.... although that may still be up for debate. Roxy is pretty smart.

14. He's such a social kid; he's always waving and saying hi to strangers. It gets a little tricky when he tries to reach out and grab hands as people walk by... but cute nonetheless.
