Eight Months!

parker turned 8 months this past saturday!

crazy!!!

here he is :)

parker- you are getting so big! you sit without an asistance. you are starting to pull yourself up! which can really scare your mom...esp. since you try to pull up on things that cant support your weight! you are getting taller...not wider :) you know your name when we call you. you eat! man, do you eat! you eat a big bowl of oatmeal and fruit (sometimes two!) for breakfast, you eat bananas, avocados, carrots, peas, egg yolks, fruits...you love it all! you just started to eat puffs...which you bang you hangs on the tray until you get them! then you gather them in your little hands and look at me for more. we are trying sign language with you...your response is a stare. you like to yell when we walk down the stairs, you giggle when we tickle you, you cry when you get tired. when dad gets home you give him a huge smile and reach your arms out...its the best.

we love you, parker! love mom and dad

be back soon...
