Accomplishments this month include:
- Parker has entered the new world of hitting! He has been hitting his little friends at school. His teachers have had to put him in time out! We've now taught him so that if he starts to hit, and we say, "No hit!", he will stop and give you a hug instead.
- He has also bitten a kid in his class. Arrgh. Let's hope this habit doesn't stick!
- He can point to his nose, eyes, belly, and occasionally his ears.
- I think Parker is going to be into sports. He loves to throw balls, hold balls, and he has what appears to be a natural athletic ability (ok... for a toddler!) - quick reflexes, he can one-handedly catch balls, roll them good, etc.
- He's doing a lot of consistent talking this month! Words he says regularly are: "uh-oh", "mama", "dada", "nana" (banana), "ni-ni" (night night), "bubble", "ba" (ball), "all done", "thank you", "yes", "nono" (no), "kitty", "doggy", "did" (good), "ow", "ew", "oh!".
- Parker has had a SICK month. Poor baby. He had croup, a mini-stomach bug, pink-eye, and bronchiolitis. He's been on steroids, antibiotics, medicated eye drops, and breathing treatments.
- One of his teachers called him the "biggest flirt" at daycare. Uh oh.
- He has gotten tall enough to climb up on the chair in his room. The problem is he won't sit in it for long. He always wants to stand up.
- Parker has gotten to play on the trampoline at Raegan's house a couple of times this month. He loves it!
Big baller.
Earning his keep.
He got sick in his car seat on the way to daycare one day, so I dropped the girls off and had to put him in Taylor's forward-facing seat. He didn't know what to think!
What is it with boys and dirt? He loves it!
He doesn't like to just sit in chairs... he always has to stand.
Reading books at the doctor.
