{2 weeks late}
Parker Daniel,
13 months already! Time with you is flying by, which I seem to say every single month. We have been having such a great Summer and staying very busy. Lots of beach days, pool days, playground trips, walks around town and just trying to spend as much time outside as possible. We have been watching Uncle Jack most weeks on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which has kept us even busier. But, Parker, you LOVE your Uncle Jack. On the mornings that we are going to pick up Jack, I ask you if you want to go see him and you get SO excited and want to go outside to get into the car. Your little face lights up as soon as you see him, and his does also! The little bond you two have is the sweetest thing. I mean, you are just so lucky to have a ten year-old Uncle! Here is a whole bunch of pictures showing what we have been up to the past month!
Parker, this past month since you turned 1 has been so much fun. I just enjoy watching all of the new things you learn every single day! You have been repeating everything that we say! You love to talk and get a response from us. At 13 months old you can say "hot, on, off , mow (milk), car, momma, dada, Jack, Nini, cookie, buh buh (bye-bye), hi, pa-pa (paci)" and probably more that I am forgetting. You are wearing Size 3 diapers (still!) but when this box runs out, we are moving up to size 4. You haven't been eating THAT great the past week or two, but you definitely have your better "eating" days. You have 3 cups of milk per day. You weaned yourself all by yourself from breastfeeding right around your first birthday. It was so easy for both of us; I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Your naps have been very sporadic every day. Some days you are ready for a nap at 9:30/10 and some days not until lunch time. Today you slept from 10:30am-1:00pm and then didn't have an afternoon nap, but went to bed right at 7pm. Lately you have been LOVING your pacifier (paci). You not only love sucking on one but holding one as well, especially when you are going to sleep. Before you fall asleep you usually switch from one to the other every 30 seconds, until you are tired enough that you just settle for one of them and hold the other. It really is the funniest thing to watch. I don't know HOW I am going to wean you from this..but it won't be for a while I am sure. My MOST favorite time of day is when I am cuddling with you and rocking you to sleep and you spit your paci out to give me a kiss, wide open mouth and everything. And lately you have been putting your arms around my neck and giving the biggest bear hugs ever. Melt my HEART. It's almost like you know that our lives are going to be changing a bit in 12 weeks or less...(but that's a whole separate post..that I need to write soon!) And one last thing before some more pictures.. This morning you were cuddling in bed with mom and dad and I closed my eyes for a few minutes. Daddy showed you how to rub my arm and you followed him and did so. I realized it was you doing it, and it was the sweetest thing in this entire world. You just know how to make me melt! I am so proud to be your momma. You are the most sweetest little boy!!!!!!! I couldn't have asked for a better son...I love you so much to the moon and back Parker Daniel.
Love,
Your Momma
