11 months

Parker at 11 months is full of fun!

-he starts dancing (bopping his head and body up and down) when he hears music he likes
-he has 8 teeth now
-he's pulling himself up and cruising along the furnitures
-this past weekend (4/15), i think he completely stopped nursing, just refuses outright (how rude right?), so now i have to pump and give him milk in his sippy cup. i can't believe 11 months of nursing went by so quickly, pumping is a pain
-since he stopped nursing, it's been much easier to sleep train him. i am keeping my fingers crossed, by putting him down for his nap and bedtime was such a pain recently because he kept waking up when we put him down in his crib. at last, out of desperation, we just let him cry it out, and it seems to be working. he will cry for 15 min at most and then go down and slowly fall asleep. napping this morning was easier too because i put him down just at the right time when he was tired but not overly exhausted. either way, it's getting better and i cross my fingers it will remain this way!
-he's been a little jokester, laughing at his own raspberries, and making his brother and everyone laugh too. he'd do it in the car and when we reach our destination, his whole lower face would be wet from all his raspberries. just a little funny guy.
-lately for some reason, he hates riding in the car for too long. parker would start hollering, so now i've resorted to sitting in the back seat with both kids, and he's been a lot happier.
-his favorite book, doesn't seem like he really enjoys reading, but at the moment, he enjoys Dear Zoo
-changing his diaper is a pain, he doesn't stay still! always flipping over and crawling away!

ok, need to work on his bday party planning! yikes it's only 3 weeks away!
