Parker's official stats at 12 months are:
23 lbs. 76th percentile
31 inches 82nd percentile
Parker is wearing 18 month clothes and size 4-5 shoes and size 4 diapers. He is sleeping all night thanks to the tubes in his ears. He takes one long nap every afternoon about 12:30 or 1:00. He has started walking this month but is still crawling more than he is walking. He is trying to point at things and repeat what we are saying. He loves to scream this really high pitched scream if Molly or Layton make him mad or take something away from him. He is very picky and doesn't eat as great as Layton did at this age. He is taking after his sister in that department. He is funny about textures and likes to throw food on the floor. He has 6 teeth and is only nursing twice a day now and is taking a bottle of frozen breast milk in the afternoon. We have given him 2% milk in a sippy cup and he takes a sip and then throws it at us lol. We need to work on this so he will get used to drinking cold milk. He loves to beat on toys, music and loves to cruise around the house on Layton's old green tractor. He is really fast now and I have to watch him constantly because he gets into everything. He loves to play with tractors and trucks and makes the truck noises already. He is a cuddler and loves to snuggle which is awesome!
Parker,
This year has been an adventure let me tell you. You have just fit right into this noisy bunch and been so flexible as we are on the go all the time with Molly and Layton. I'm so thankful you have been an easy baby and besides your ear infections and have been so healthy this first year. You are just too sweet for words and your constant hugs and cuddles just melt this Mommy's heart. I have cherished every single stage this first year because I know you are my last baby. I may have held you a little too much and spoiled you rotten but that is what you get for being the baby of the family. It seems like yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital to introduce you to your crazy brother and sister. You have been such a joy to watch change and grow this first year and I'm so thankful I was able to experience every single day with you. It is so neat to watch your relationship with Molly and watch you two laugh and giggle at the silliest things. Layton likes to look out for you and will bring you to me if you are getting into something. You two are going to have a blast playing trucks and riding bikes together someday way too soon. I can't wait to see how God will use you and your life as you grow older. Your Daddy and I love you so so much and are so thankful God chose us to be your Mommy and Daddy. We love you to the moon and back Parker!
Mommy
