standin' fool

The title says it all... Parker is standing like crazy!  I can't wait until he starts walking.  He will make a great sidekick.  This toy box has all my toys in it.  I put them in there so Parker can't reach them... now what am I going to do??

drivin' Mr. Parker

This little car is mine.  I'm too big for it now so Mama and I thought that Parker might like it.  Well... we were right.  He loves it!  He especially likes it when I push him.  I love playing with you, Parker.  You are so much fun!

super food = super messy

Mama LOVES avocado and so does Parker.  I'm glad he likes avocados because they are very healthy for him to eat.  They will make him big and strong just like me.  Holy smokes, brother, you are a messy, messy boy!  Good thing it's bath night, because you need it. Yikes!

a second standing "o"

Parker just stood up for the first time!  All by himself!  He stood at the end of the footrest on Mama's sofa.  I think he was reaching for her.  Great job, Parker!  Pretty soon you'll be walking!

pancakes for all

Mama and I are huge pancake fans... and so is Parker.  He ate a whole pancake himself.  It was a really big one too.  Yikes!  Parker, you are a good eater.  I'm so glad we like the same things.  This morning Parker also had water from a sippy cup for the first time.  Lots of firsts lately and many more to come.  I love you, Parker!

swimming with Carly

Carly is my best friend, but she is friends with Parker too.  It's been really hot lately and at night, after naps, Parker likes to sit in the pool to cool off.  Last night, Carly decided to join him.  So cute!

first strawberries

Another first for Parker.  Strawberries.  A big hit!  Is there anything he doesn't like??

first bananas

Parker is allowed to have big boy food now.  Just like me! Tonight he's having some bananas.  He really likes them. I can't wait to share everything with him!

Parker's 9 month check

Well... Parker is almost 10 months old!  He went to the doctor today for a check-up.  He weighs a hefty 22 lbs 6.5 ounces and is 30.5 inches long.  Doctor says he's doing great.  Keep it up, little brother!  You are getting so big!

just swingin'

Parker and I love it when Mama pushes us on the swing.  I'm really glad he is big enough to swing with me!
