It's been a long time, I am slacking off. I only have a few minutes so this will be quick. I will try to add something later.Parker is 18.5 months today; he really is a big boy now.
- No more bottles, he drinks water from a sippy cup since January and milk since February (off the bottle well before 18 months).
- Parker doesn't wake up at night any more so mommy and daddy are getting more sleep.
- He understands pretty much everything and uses signs to communicate, although no really speaking yet. He says "highchair" and "dada" and "Aga", he will try to say "trzy", but that's all for now. He does use the signs though.
- Favorite books are "Squishy Turtle and Friends", "Good night moon", as well as "What's wrong little Pookie" and (recently) Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton.
- Parker loves dogs
- We are still on no dairy diet and doing fairly well. It seems like we can't go to a restaurant without Parker getting a rash right after, so we kind of gave up. We cook a lot as Parker loves his food. He loves meat, bread, fruit and some veggies. His favorite are broccoli and avocado, but he also likes peas, cucumber, and Polish pickles.
- Parker loves playing pick-a-boo and hide-and-seek. He just recently learned how to screw and unscrew a bottle or jar.
About the unscrewing bottles we learned the hard way. I gave him a juice bottle to hold while I walked around the car to his side to pick him up. By the time I got there, all the juice was soaking into his clothes and the car seat!
We also went to visit our Charlotte, NC friends last weekend. Parker did well on the plane on the way there, the trip back was a bit more troublesome (we had to wait 45 minutes before the the take off due to the weather). He loved the warmth weather and loved playing in our friends yards. Too bad we moved to a condo. :)
But seriously, the condo is great and we are still loving it. Having some issues with the neighbors downstairs complaining about the noise (I think steps, ours and Parker's). But other than that - we are super happy.
Another trip is coming up in early May, we bought tickets to go to Poland! We are very excited for Parker to meet his family and for everyone to meet him. I don't want to think about the flight, just hope he will be able to sleep.
