10 Months!

10 months!!!  Parker is getting so close to one year!  Time, slow down!

He has had a very big month.  Accomplishments include:
  • He is officially on the move!  Shortly after his 9 month b-day, he started crawling.  It's amazing how quickly that process is learned.  He went from rocking back and forth to taking a couple of crawls, to clumsily crawling, to crawling like a champ, all in a short time.  (and let me tell you- it is hard to babyproof and keep a 2 and a 4 year old's little toys off of the floor!)
  • He has tried all kinds of new food, including different beans, ground beef, kiwi, avocado, spaghetti, pancakes, turkey, crackers, and more!
  • He celebrated his first 4th of July!
  • He pulls up and stands up on his own.
  • He's just starting to walk around things, while holding on.
  • It is virtually impossible to change this boy's diaper!  He moves every which way, turns his body the opposite direction, etc.  
  • Finally got the hang of the sippy cup!
  • One of his top teeth has popped through, and the other is about to.
  • He's been doing this for a little while, but it's really become evident now- whenever he wants something (food, a person, etc), he opens and closes his hands over and over until he gets it.
  • He will crawl over to the feet of someone he wants and puts his head down on their feet- like a little puppy!  (He does this when food is around, too!)
  • He recognizes a lot of things- if I say "daddy" or "bottle", he'll turn to look at them.  If I ask for a kiss, he will lean into me. 
  • This boy has to be going through a growth spurt... he is SO hungry all the time!!!!







Time to get that gate back out!



I like how he sleeps with his little bottom up in the air!
