Eighteen Months

Our sweet girl is growing up too fast!  It is unbelievable to think that she is already 18 months old.  We went to the doctor today and here are her stats:

height: 32.2 inches (60th percentile)
weight: 24 pounds 13 ounces (80th percentile)
head: 18 inches (40th percentile)


*We have enjoyed the beginning of our summer.  Parker is going to school two days a week to keep her in a routine and to hold her spot for fall.  She loves those days, and we are staying busy on our days at home.  We've been swimming, strolling, playing and just having fun!
* We got out baby's high chair this weekend and she is having so much fun with it.  Now, some babies can be in the stroller and another one can be in the high chair.  Just last week she was frustrated because 3 babies would not fit in the stroller!
* Parker has also become attached to a second lovey as of late.  She's always loved her pink lamb, but now her lion has become a tag along too!
* Miss Independent has entered our house (along with a toddler who throws major tantrums).  She wants to do everything by herself.  I am really trying to give her something to do to let her help.  She loves to take her diapers to the trash can, put her bowls and plates in her drawer, put up towels, etc.  Every night when we start her bath water, she opens the cabinet and gets out the color tablets and bubbles and puts them up after we have used them.  We can sometimes avoid tantrums with distraction, but we are most definitely having some around this house.
* Just for my notes, Parker cut back to one nap a day (on her own) at 12 months.  She takes about a 3 hour nap (at home) from around 12-3.  She is still going to bed at 8 and since it is summer, sleeping until around 7 and sometimes later.  She eats mostly table food.  She still is very picky about real fruits and veggies but loves the fruit pouches so we keep those around.

Happy Half-Birthday!

Of course, we have to celebrate a half-birthday!  Miss Priss got to celebrate with a Gigi's Miss Princess cupcake today.  She really enjoyed the icing, and wanted nothing to do with the cake itself, but that was a-okay. (Momma finally got to have the messy cake eating event that we didn't have at her birthday party!)  
hmmm....

maybe this is good after all...




and we headed straight to the bath....

Eighteen month post to come after P's doctor's appointment on Tuesday!

More Spaghetti, I Say...

We had spaghetti for dinner the other night.  Needless to say, Parker really enjoyed it.   And we had to head straight for the bathtub from the dinner table.  We are in the stage where Parker wants to feed herself and I am having to stand back and just let her get messy.  Tonight, she had chicken casserole in her hair and rice in her diaper (don't ask me how!).  She is learning and getting better with the spoon, but still chooses to just use her fingers sometimes!


* I've got several videos to upload, but I'm having trouble getting them loaded at home...

Memorial Day Weekend Part 3

Our last adventure of the weekend was fun in the sprinkler... 
At first, Parker was very hesitant and just touching the water as it came close to her...


 Then, she got brave and moved out into the grass...
And that was fun until she ran straight into the sprinkler.... 

And then our fun ended with an unhappy little girl....
