It is hard to believe that we have had the privilege of having Parker in our family for a year and half. It is a little strange to think that is was 2 years ago we were just getting approved by our agency to begin the waiting process of getting matched with a birth mom. One year ago, we were finding out Parker would be a big brother for the first time. And now here we are watching Parker grow out of the infant stage and into becoming a toddler. I took him to the doctor on Friday for his 18 month well check. The doctor said he looked great. We were pleased to see he has now gained enough weight to move from the 3rd to the 10th percentile ( he now weighs the same as his brother who was 22 lbs at his well check 3 weeks ago). He is also in the 80th percentile for his height. He is walking everywhere and getting into lots of things as he explores everything around him.
Some of Parker's Favorites:
- Favorite Food: fruit- he has added bananas to his list of fruits
- Favorite Drink: milk
- Favorite Song: Cosby Show theme song
- Favorite Book: I Love You Through and Through
- Favorite Toys: lawnmower at Aiyah and Grandad's, and electronic things like cell phones and remote controls
- Favorite Words: "bye-bye", "more", "Yay"
- Favorite Animal: ducks
- Favorite Game: "Boo"- his covers his eyes and plays peek a boo
- Favorite Activities: wrestling with Jonathan, playing in the dogs' water bowl, "conducting" when he hears a song he likes, climbing into his high chair when he is hungry or wants a snack, pretending to talk on the phone, looking at his books, turning the light on and off in his room, and climbing stairs
