We've Created a Monster...

...a Sesame Street monster that is. Parker has been watching Elmo's World on his DVD player in the car and is now OBSESSED with Elmo. He said "Elmo" for the first time yesterday and was carrying the DVD case around to everyone trying to get someone to put it in the player for him (he had already watched it twice). He also dances around singing the theme song..."Da da ta da, Da da ta da....." (if you have a toddler, you know the tune) It really is cute to see him dancing to the music on the show and getting so excited to see Elmo that every part of him wiggles, but then I start feeling guilty about letting my 15 month old watch t.v. I suppose as long as it is in moderation it will be ok. We balanced it out yesterday with playing in the yard and examining sticks and leaves and talking about the dog.

Parker has been SO much fun lately and just gets funnier and wittier as he grows. He is an avid dancer and already has better moves than his Mama. He gives hugs and kisses, big smiles and waves to almost everyone he meets, and is picking up new words nearly every day! He impressed the doctor last week when he knew all of his body parts when she asked him about them- even his teeth, hair and eyebrows! I couldn't be more proud of my little wonder. He makes every day so much fun.

Well, it's almost lunch time, but I wanted to start out the week with a post about Parker Peanut. I realized my blog had morphed from adventures of parenthood and funny stories about Peanut to tales of woe and the trials and tribulations of Laura's whiney existence. Sorry! Here's a new one: Life is good, Parker is adorable, and we're going to Mexico in 4 weeks! Wahoo!

Have a great week.
Love,
Laura
