His words up to this point are Mama, Dada, "Zo-Zo" (for Zoe) and No-No.
He is not walking just yet but he now has the crawling thing mastered (before it was just the army crawl). I am amazed at how speedy he can be!

Playing on the floor with his toys is still his absolute favorite thing to do. Unfortunately for us, he's such a curious little fella' that his interest soon shifts to the things he's not supposed to be playing with (such as the stairs, climbing on the couch, the kitchen table and chairs, the window shades), so it usually ends up as a big chase around the house - which he thinks is hilarious!
Dancing! This kid loves to dance! He's got moves already. He will dance to any music he hears; in the car, in a store, on a toy, on the TV, - anywhere!
Clapping! Whenever I say "yay" in an excited voice Parker starts clapping. Or if he sees/hears an audience clapping on the television he joins in along with them. He will also clap when masters something, such as putting his balls in his truck.
This next one is a sure sign that little ones are always watching and learning even when you think they aren't. Every night after we sit down for dinner but before we start eating, Brad and I say a prayer. It's something we both did growing up and have now continued the tradition. One night a few weeks ago, I noticed that Parker put his hands together while we were doing this. Now, every single time we sit down to dinner, Parker folds his hands and stares us both down as if to say "don't forget to pray". Even if he has a drink in his hand, food in his mouth, or holding his spoon or fork, he puts down what he's doing to pray with us. It is hands down the cutest thing ever and a true reminder that we always need to be positive role models because we are our children's first teachers. :-)
Apparently, I talk on the phone way too much because my 12 month old has picked up on this habit. He will hold his play phones (yes, he already has multiple) up to his ear and pretend he's talking. If a phone isn't handy, another toy, or his hand will also do the job when he has an important phone call to make. He knows that we talk to Grandma on the phone a lot because I'll say "where's Grandma" and he puts the phone up to his ear. So sweet!
He is still a pretty good eater, especially now that we are giving him mostly all finger foods (more about that in the 13 month update). Shortly after his birthday, we started giving him whole milk so that we could start weaning off of formula. He took to it really well and for most of the month was taking whole milk for meals and formula with his afternoon snack and his night time feeding.
He is wearing 18 month clothes and Size 4 diapers.
