The Month of May with the Mister

 
 Up on his hands and knees!

 So proud that I can sit up by myself!
 
 Not sure how it happened, but he did this all by himself!
 
Look how BIG he looks!


My first Mother's Day!
So lucky to get to spend it with this sweet boy!






9 Months Old!

Parker was 9 months old on May 5th. Each day I get to spend with this sweet boy is such a blessing. He is really starting to become more of a little boy and less of a baby more every day. Time needs to slow down!

We celebrated his 9 month birthday with a trip to see his doctor. Here are his latest stats and some new things he has been doing:

Height: 29 inches
 
Weight: 22 pounds
 
Head: 17 3/4 inches
 
 

*Size 4 diapers. All 12 month clothes and some 18 month clothes.

*He has mastered the army crawl/scoot. Watch out, when he spots something he wants, there is no stopping him!

*He will get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth but no forward movement (in this position) yet. Soon!

*Starting to pull himself up on the side of things such as the pack and play and his jumper.

*Sitting up all by himself now!

*His 4th tooth is coming in!

*Taking less formula throughout the day and more solid foods. He loves mixed veggies, pears, oatmeal, and yogurt especially well.

*He doesn't know what to do with the baby puffs cereal. He just swallows it as quick as he can and then kind of coughs.

*When he's in the bath he kicks his feet and splashes the water with his hands the whole time. I think he'll love the baby pool this summer. :-)

*I've trimmed his hair 3 times now. Nothing major, just a little off the top and sides. The top is now starting to get a little curl to it now that I've cut it.

*He hates being on his back. The second you lay him down, he instantly flips to his belly. Changing his diaper is a chore!

*Entertains himself with his toys for long periods of time!

*Smiles all the time and giggles anytime we do something silly or goofy for him!

Happy 9 Months, Parker!
Love you lots!
