8 months!

Sweet Parker you are 8 months old today!!

At 8 months you are already keeping your mommy and daddy on our toes!!

-you are crawling everywhere and you are so fast!! 

-you started pulling yourself up and standing (while holding onto something).  so now, you are no longer happy sitting anywhere...you want to be standing to play, watch Mickey Mouse, get your clothes changed, etc.  If I would let you, you would eat and bathe standing up too!


-you babble constantly.  you said Dada for the first time last week and it was such a special moment.  now you say it all the time when you are not saying babababa!

-you do a great job at feeding yourself items like puffs.  we are always watching bc you are quick to get items you shouldnt in your mouth too. (bellas dog food has been moved...it was his go to place!) 

-you are eating three meals a day and 4 bottles.  we just started you on meats this week (I apologize...they look and smell horrible)  you do not seem to love them, so I mix them in with your veggies!

-you went on your first family vacation to Cayman and swam in the ocean for the first time and LOVED it!


-we have decided that we are doing a sock monkey theme for your first birthday!  i am still in disbelief that is only 4 months away..let the planning begin!


This weekend we packed up your swing and little lamb bouncy chair.  I cried.  But we have to make room for all of your new big boy toys!

Parker,
You are becoming such a big boy.  It is so fun to see grow and learn each day. You constantly have me and your Dada smiling and laughing and looking at you in amazement.  These have by far been the best 8 months of our lives!
We love you!!

  1. Can't believe he's already 8 months! We never did the meat baby foods. I just started giving Grace teeny tiny shredded pieces of whatever meat we were eating as table food. You could try that, since the baby food ones are gross.
