Parker had his 16 month checkup today (really it was for his 15 month appt but we were a little late on his checkup as he turned 16 months this week... poor second child syndrome). However, he did great!! He weighed in at only 26 lbs 5 oz (and I was so shocked that I asked them if the scale was broken and made them weigh him twice)!!! How embarrassing when I realized the scale was working just fine it just appears mommie's biceps are a little weak. He is such a chunk (my chunky monkey) that I was positive that he weighed over 30 lbs and Phil was even banking on 40 lbs!! Silly us... he is only in the 55% for weight which is straight down the middle average!! Can you believe that most babies his age are this big?!! Wow... us mommies need to start working out more so we can tote these little ones around!! Parker also was 33 inches tall (75% for height) and Dr. Ryan was very impressed with his climbing, dancing and TALKING skills (all of which he did in the drs office today)!! Even though he is the second child, he doesn't miss getting a word in all day long!!! He literally never stops talking... guess he is taking after his brother and his daddy - haha!! His favs these days are "mama", "dada", "bye-bye", "hello" (while he puts his hand to his ear like he is talking on the phone - oopsie... looks like mommy might be talking just a little too much on her phone these days), "uh-oh" when he drops stuff on the floor, "here you go," "more," and of course "up" when he wants to be picked up which is all the time these days!! Parker is still not walking on his own but can literally RUN with his push toys and can walk with just one hand next to mommy or daddy when he feels up to it. He can stand all by himself and he literally climbs up on tables like he is superman. Dr. Ryan laughed when I acted worried about him not walking... she said if he can climb like he is doing and stand up on his own... he can walk - he is just going to do it in his own time. Do you think that was her nice way of saying that he is stubborn?! Oh great, looks like we have another strong-willed little boy on our hands!! And we are so excited to be heading to the beach for a whole week with my family in the morning... looks like Parker is going to be in for Gigi's walking boot camp at the beach!!
