With the big countdown starting...sniff, sniff, three more weeks until I go back to work after maternity leave, Shawn, Parker and I, are at the lake. I say "summer finally" because it has been freakin' cold these past few weeks (for those folks who are not living in MB). It feels more like the beginning of October, than spring! Today the mercury hit 23 C! Whoohoo! I have to say the best thing about the weather being so cool, is that we have virtually NO mosquitoes! Hard to believe, I know!
Today, we bought Parker a small kiddie pool and filled it up in the veranda, so that Parker isn't baking in completely in the sun. So now we call it Parker's Pool and Spa. He tries to climb in on one side and out on the other but has trouble lifting his meaty leg high enough to clear the side of the pool.
Hey, did I mention Parker can walk?! OH MY GOD! The other day while grocery shopping in Kenora, I saw Shawn walking with Parker holding on to only ONE hand - I couldn't believe it! Parker had a humongous, toothy smile the entire time - he's quite proud of himself. Then two nights ago (June 10), Tracy had trouble catching up to Parker. He had a death grip on Tracy's finger meanwhile Parker was motoring in front of her...aka, Parker was not relying on Tracy for any support. He did numerous laps of the kitchen, and can surprisingly recover from small stumbles without face planting. He still prefers holding on to someones finger while he walks, even though, it has no purpose other than functioning as emotional support. The cutest thing is when Parker walks you can hear his little chubby feet slapping the floor.
One more announcement - Parker sprouted another tooth yesterday! He has 6 in total.
I just remembered, tomorrow is exactly one week until Parker's 1st birthday party - wow!
