Parker is 38 weeks old today! This week has been extra nice because I was supposed to go back to work on Monday but the huge snowstorm that came on Sunday has given me three extra days! I'm pretty sure we'll be going back on Thursday so I am soaking up all this extra time with P man (and Clint who was off the last two weeks...plus Monday & Tuesday!)!
Likes: blowing your tongue at him, pointing to small things with his pointer finger (soo cute!), his toy car, standing, pulling up on everything, trying to feed himself, clapping
Dislikes: getting woken up from a nap too early
What's New in the Last Week: He has started crawling to find people and even peeks around the corner. We have started to teach him a couple different signs...we'll see how quickly he can pick them up.

We have had so much fun the last two and a half weeks! I can't believe how much he has grown!! My little love bug!
Parker is 21 weeks old today! He currently weighs 15 pounds 12 ounces. All week he has continued to have a runny nose with some congestion (both in his head and lungs). So Monday after breastfeeding group I took him to the doctor's office to see if they had a spot open (the group and doctor's office are both at IU West). Luckily they could fit him in right away. He didn't see his normal doctor but the one we saw was really nice. He checked out his ears and throat and listened to his lungs. He said he was fine and just to watch for a fever. I figured he was fine but I just wasn't sure how long you should let his symptoms stick around.
Likes: being tickled on his thighs and under his arms, sitting up (but leaning over to hold himself up), his Oball football (since it has lots of holes for his fingers), chewing on his toys, talking, trying to pet Zoe & Lucy, bouncing in his bouncer
Dislike: naptime, diaper changes in the middle of the night
What's New in the Last Week: he definitely has distinct sounds (mamama, bababa) and he loves to say them and he is getting better at sitting up (although he definitely takes a tumble soometimes!)
hey big belly
he was acting like Zoe and burrowing on my lap!
conk shoo, conk shoo
ultimate fuzzhead!
cutest face ever
yummy piggies
His pinkie toes both had blisters...I think from jumping in his bounce so much! We stick a pillow under it because he's too short but no more pillow!
