The Bug Turns 9 Months Old

Parker turned 9 months old yesterday. We went to the doctor for his 9 month check up...drum roll please.......................

Weight - 23 lbs 12 oz ~ 88%tile
Height - 29 1/2" ~ 88%tile
Head - not sure of the exact measurement, but it was in the >97%tile.

Summary: He is a large tub of love

Black eye status: Black eye is still there...I think the saying "it has to get worse before it can get better" definitely applies to us.

Parker's 9 Month "look what I can do" skills:
* Say momma and dadda...and lots of other words that are not recognized
* crawl
* pull up
* walk with the help of mommy
* starting to eat meat
* 2 teeth...that 3rd one we thought was coming in is taking its sweet time
* throw the ball back and forth to whomever cares to play that game
* blow bubbles with my mouth
* give open mouth, wet kisses all over mommy's face

Parker and his BFF Carson playing with all of Carson's way cool toys


The aftermath of the orange Popsicle...


Eating just a taste of some cupcake at Jack's bday bash this weekend. I can only imagine the attack on his cake when he turns 1. This one little bite left him throwing a temper tantrum wanting more.


Driving Mommy's car with Dad...we love this game


Peaceful Parker...all conked out after a long day of playing. We are in the process of phasing out the morning nap. I know he is only 9 months, but he was taking an hour morning nap and maybe an hour and a half afternoon nap. Sometimes these would be less. Soooooo, we have cut out the morning nap and he is now sleeping for 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon...heaven!
