Parker has been working on getting his first molar this week. It's almost threw his gums. I think it's been a little sore lately b/c he has been a little finicky with some of his meals and I notice him chewing on the opposite side of the molar. For a treat tonight I gave him some vanilla ice cream - he really liked that!
Parker has picked up a few new words...the one I hear the most is "bubbles". He got a bubble machine for the bathtub for his birthday and he cannot go past his bathroom without saying, "bubbles, bubbles, bubbles". I try to keep the bathroom door closed (out of sight, out of mind) but when I forget to close the door he crawls in there and stands up on the edge of the tub looking up at the bubble machine chanting for me to come in and turn it on.
Parker is pulling up on everything - including my legs everywhere I stand - and cruising along the furniture. He has let go a few times to stand alone, but he falls to his bottom as soon as he notices he's not hanging onto an object. I think he's a few months from walking yet.
I recently noticed Parker is mocking things he sees everywhere. What caught my attention was the other day I saw Parker mimicking something he saw on the television the night before while watching a movie with me and Jon. It wasn't a "bad" or "dirty" movie, but there were several scenes where this man would scrub his body in the shower...the next day I saw Parker rubbing his toys on his arms and chest just like the guy in the movie. He had to have picked that up from the movie...there is no where else he would have saw something like that. So, now we are watching very closely what we watch when he's around. I try not to watch too much TV when he's up anyway. He's also trying to repeat what we say...so we really have to watch those bad words that slip once in awhile. :)
So far, we're 2 weeks into Toddlerhood and it's had its challenges, but the good definitely outweighs the bad.
