fifteen months.

how can i start this off without sounding like a broken record?  i guess i can't.  so i'll just say it again & again.

this little guy gets more & more fun every month.  no seriously, he gets more & more fun everyDAY.  because everyday he does something new or says a new word or catches on to something we've been trying to teach him.  i am so lucky to be parker's mom.  i never knew that being a parent was gonna be like this.  i never knew that i would often find myself just watching him & feeling like my insides are gonna burst because i am just so happy & so proud & so in love with my little boy.  and i may or may not have tears welling up in my eyes thinking about it, so let's just move right along to the update stuff.  because this could get real mushy real fast.

here's my little man... all growed up to fifteen months.
{compare previous monthly pics here.}


i had a hard time picking his fifteen month picture.  parker is seriously the kid of 1,000 expressions, so how could i pick just one to sum him up this month?  he can go from being cute & sweet, to snuggly & somber, to goofy & playful in like zero point nothin.

here are some runner ups from our shoot today.


clearly we had one major milestone this month:  walking.  once he had it figured out, he never looked back.  this kid is constantly on the go & is walking all over the place.  i love that i can now put him down in a grass field & he won't get mud caked all over his knees or soak through his jeans if it's wet.  or that i can let him loose on a playground & he can move from toy to toy without much help.

this stage of walking isn't bad.  he isn't running yet so although he never comes when i call him, he doesn't get too far too fast.  we still have a handle on him.  but something tells me that won't last long... he's definitely getting faster & more confident on his feet which means i'm gonna have my work cut out for me here real quick.


parker's done some other new things this month too.  he loooooooves to dance.  every morning he picks up the remote, hands it to me, & starts shaking his head.  this means i'm supposed to turn on the apple tv & play some music he can dance to, duh.  and he totally does.  he holds on to the coffee table & shakes what his mama gave him.  makes me proud.  {video to come}.

he's learned a few new words this month.  new this month is puppy, bird, hi, up, baby & bubble, & he says them without being told.  he is kinda obsessed with dogs & if he hears one bark a block away he immediately says "puppy?" over & over.  

he kinda freaks out when he sees them... in a good way.



he still loves {mostly} everyone he meets & will wave "hi & bye" to you as you come & go {particularly cute cashiers at fred meyer or target}.  he blows kisses to people he really likes & has started to get a little bit of anxiety when sam or i leave the house for work & he is left with a sitter.  he knows how to turn on & unlock our iPhones & is learning how to get into the iPod ap to play his videos.  he is obsessed with home videos of himself.

he's working on cutting a few molars {hard to see how close they are & how many} & is still sleeping pretty dang well.  he's down by 8:30 pm & sleeps til 7:30 am with a 2-3 hour afternoon nap.  he loves loves loves to eat & says long dramatic mmmmmmm's with every bite.  he signs "eat" whenever he's hungry... at snack time, meal time, or whenever anyone else is eating.

he is seriously the best little boy.  and?  he is still so dang cute.


love this kid.

and as always, i love your votes. i love your votes like parker loves cheese.  that's a lot.

  14. He is such a cutie and is really starting to look more and more like a toddler! It's crazy how he is 4 months older than my daughter and I just can't imagine her doing all these things (or at least close to all of these things lol) in that short amount of time lol.

    Oh Jazmyn
