Parker's big thing this week is that he wants to feed himself, and for that matter, everyone else around him. Monday night, he managed to steal both Tim's and my fork while we were eating dinner, and he proceeded to try to feed himself and me. He did actually manage to get some food up on the fork at one point. Then, yesterday he refused to eat his yogurt for me. Then, the phone rang, so I set the yogurt on his high chair tray with the spoon in it to see what he would do. Dive in, is what he did. He loved trying to feed himself, and actually managed to get about a quarter of the yogurt into his mouth. The rest of it, well, lets just say it was EVERYWHERE! In his hair, in his eye lashes, all over the highchair and his jammies. I ended up just throwing him in the bath, even though he had just had one the night before. I was out of yogurt this morning, so we'll have to try it at Grandma Bonnie's house. ;)
Speaking of Grandma Bonnie, I have been telling Parker that we are going to visit her. So, then I will ask him questions, and he will respond to me. Here is our conversation:
- Me: Parker, are we going to Grandma's house?
- Parker: Ya
- Me: Parker, are you going to terrorize?
- Parker: Ya
Parker is starting to say new words here and there. His new favorite word is hot. He sometimes uses it in the right context, and he sometimes just says hot. Some other words he says now are: apple, cheese, mommy, daddy, pizza, Stacey, Hayden, Ashton (comes out Ashti), puppy, hi, pool, ball, pop. He also has a few short phrase, they are: Who is it? (this comes out when my cell phone makes any sort of noise), What's that?, and I did it. Obviously, some of these things are way easier to make out than others, but he is babbling up a storm, and really trying to talk more and more. At least he comes by it honestly. ;)
