Not a Baby Anymore!

Parks is now 20 months old. He will be 2 in January! He talks so well, he'll pretty much repeat any word we say. Its pretty funny. We've made sure that he has mastered his please, thank you and sorry. Those are so important! He uses them really well. He is growing up so fast. You have to be a parent to understand that one. He no longer has a bottle (which i miss), deffinately no soothers (those were a headache trying to find) and now almost ready for no more diapers! (once he remembers to do ALL of #2 on the potty:))hehe Parks is our little angel. Dont get me wrong he knows what a timeout is...it's the longest minute of his life:) But luckily he hasn't reached the tantrum stage. He loves being outside, exploring, bike rides and swimming are the top 3. He still sleeps all night:) I can remember when he was 6 months old and i was crying outside his bedroom door, listening to him cry himself to sleep...it was the best thing i could have done for him and me. All thanks to Matt holding me back ofcorse. Now as long as he has 2 blankets, his 2 toy construction 'boys' and a pillow he goes to sleep without even making a fuss:)and always has. I know, i'm bragging but i'm just so happy with our little guy. These days he is daddy's little buddy. Matt has turned him into a brave little boy. His favorite thing to say is 'be tough' and shows his muscles. When Matt leaves for work it is not a happy time, but he'll say 'daddy firetruck' afterwards and somehow that makes it ok:)
