Happy Father's Day

 

 

Parker's first trip to the park.  Thanks to Colleen, Aidan & Alannah for inviting us.

 

A few of Parker's favorite things to do:

Rock out

Climb on anything he can get onto

11 Months

Look out behind you as Parker is crawling like a mad-man (and can go very fast when he is trying to get to Lucy's food, the refrigerator you just opened, or either of the bathrooms), he can climb up the stairs, clap his hands (and will do it if you sing, 'If your happy and you know clap your hands' - very cute!), he is eating  more table food (thanks to daycare), however he still won't hold his bottle (he is a full service kid). He has started to enjoy listening to Marc play the guitar, obviously he also likes to try and play as well (Marc is hoping he doesn't pull a "Pete Townshend" on the guitar when we're not looking!)

Age: 11 month
Size & Shape: Wearing 12 month clothes regularly, but 18 months are already fitting in some cases

Food: Loves grilled cheese and ham, maple baked beans, he had his first taste of mac'n'chesse and still loves his pizza crust.

Sleep: Parker likes to get up early on most days (around 5:30), but on the other hand he normally goes down without a peep (after a bottle) at 7:30. It is worth noting (so that I don't forget) that he has very strong cues to let us know when he is tired. He grabs onto the top of his shirt and clings it with both hands.
Getting around: Crawling. And crawling faster.
Memorable Moments: Story land with Auntie Katie and Landon. Crawling up the stairs (surprising Mommy and Daddy as we didn't have a clue he could even do this!)  More teeth (top two are in as well as another on the bottom)



Storyland
    We spent a few days in Storyland at the beginning of June.  The weather was perfect and the boys (Landon & Parker) loved it! We went on the Swan Rides, the Carousal , we rode the train all around the park, and the boys drove a tractor....    it was wonderful!!  My camera is on its last leg, so most of the pictures were taken on Katie's camera.  Check out Landon's blog if you want to check them out.  

Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend with the Pantazis Family!  We enjoyed a great weekend away with Marc's family.  Lot's of playing and swimming with Parker's 'big' cousins. Thanks to Yia Yia and Papou for having us.

 

 

Marc and I realized that a "weekend away" has a whole new meaning when you have a 11 month with you.  Parker was up at 5am.....
