33 Weeks

Little man is 33 weeks old today! Every week he changes just a little but yet it's still so much!

Likes: pretty much all food...he hasn't turned down anything yet! peek-a-boo, the xylophone, splashing in the tub

Dislikes: getting in his carseat when he's tired

What's New in the Last Week: he enjoyed his first Thanksgiving and he got his first tooth!

On Thanksgiving morning I peeked into his mouth like I do every other day or so and I couldn't believe it but there was finally a tiny little edge of a tooth! The two previous nights he woke up at 2 and 3 in the morning and now we know why! Other than waking up he didn't show any signs of a tooth coming! Hopefully the rest are this easy ;)

He liked refried beans!

Having fun at mommy's classroom!

30 Weeks

What a week! Parker started the week out being sick with a really runny nose which then turned into a cough. I also have had parent conferences after school all week so we are a little behind in the blog department! I know his fans are waiting ;) On the plus side Clint has gotten in quite a bit of daddy time!

Likes: he has finally war,ed up to the whole food idea, snuggling, tickles, waving his toys around, banging his brush on the wall when getting his diaper changed

Dislikes: being sick

What's New in the Last Week: he has eaten oatmeal, pears, and applesauce in addition to sweet potatoes bananas and avocado. I also have given him steamed carrots and he gnawed on those for a while but I don't think they were soft enough to get any bits off.

Here's to a less busy weekend and week!

29 Weeks

This little cutie is 29 weeks old today!

Likes: rolling all over the place, making a silly bird (by sucking on his bottom lip), sitting up, petting & watching the pets, waving, snuggling other people

Dislikes: food...although Jennifer (our babysitter) has gotten him to eat a little this week!

What's New in the Last Week: He is rolling back and forth like no one's business!

I made a sandwich tonight and before I could stop him he grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it in his mouth. Apparently Parker likes bread.

Someone's a big boy and can now ride in the cart! And look cute!

Helping Amy play on game night!!

1st time with applesauce...no go.

Silly rolly polly baby.

Crazy hair day!

Cute as a button.

Making music!

Happy Halloween!

Bird face!

Hey cutie!


My love bug!

6 Months Old

Somehow our little baby just turned 6 months old! The other day he was just a newborn! Well this big boy is growing fast and getting cuter by the day :)

Big Milestones: Parker finally rolled onto his belly a few weeks ago and is getting better at doing it often. His motor skills are growing as well...he is grabbing everything in sight and can switch from one hand to the other and even back again. He sits by himself really well now and has been working on sitting up from laying down. His head is just so heavy! Daddy needs to work on some crunches with him ;)

He has had the m and b sounds down for a while and while we were in California one morning he said papa....that might be why he hasn't said dada yet. Maybe he prefers calling Clint papa!

He also had his first solid foods today! I will share those pictures and videos tomorrow :)

Measurements: He has his 6 month check up next Wednesday so I will have to update this next week. I'll be interested to see his weight because during his first week at daycare I don't think he ate as much as normal but we'll see. I know he has definitely gotten longer! I packed up most of his 3-6 month clothes except a few pajamas and most of his long pants. He outgrows the onesies before the shorts and pants. I guess his belly is growing faster than his legs!

Daily Schedule: He is still holding onto the same schedule as the last two months...eating and sleeping about every three hours.

This Saturday Parker will be getting his first professional photos :) I can't wait to see how they turn out! I also have another week of fall break to enjoy some time with him and Clint!

5 Months Old

Big Milestones: Parker is so close to rolling over onto his belly. He just needs to get over his arm that is closest to the floor. He can sit by himself for a little while before toppling over onto his side or face first. He is babbling quite a bit and has mamama and bababa down pat. Sometimes I think he is saying mama and means it ;)

Measurements: Last week he weighed 15 pounds 12 ounces so I am sure he is close to 16 pounds this week! He is still 26 inches long.

Daily Schedule: He is still running on about the same routine as he was at 4 months. He wakes up around 7:30 and naps for about a half an hour every three hours. He also eats about every three hours too. He will start eating solids next month...I am looking forward to see what he likes! He usually goes to bed by 8:00...some nights even a little earlier! The week before and after he was sick he was waking up once or twice a night but this last week he was back to 11 hours of sleep. Thanks goodness!

He's growing so fast and I hope these next few weeks go a little slower before I have to go back to work!

21 Weeks

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!

I just love this face!

One of my new favorite pictures!

20 Weeks

Parker is 20 weeks old! I can't hardly believe that!!

Today he is still recovering from being sick over the weekend. Poor little guy woke up at 3 am Saturday morning with the stuffiest nose and a low fever. Obviously I was a little worried but he was just having a good old time in his crib playing while Clint & I tried to take his temperature and clean out is nose! When he woke up later in the morning he had the same symptoms but was still playful and in good spirits. So we decided to keep our plans and head to Bloomington to see our friends Amy & George. Well as soon as we got there the poor little feller was miserable and threw up twice. Not a pretty sight. After that though he actually acted a little better. We hung out for a while and then came home. Once we were home he was definitely worn out. Yesterday he was still stuffy, congested and a little tired but he was a happy and playful baby! Today he seems almost back to normal Parker. Luckily it wasn't a horrible sickness for his first cold. I also think the Vicks vaporizer has helped with the congestion and runny nose.

Likes: playing peek-a-boo with daddy, playtime, raspberries on his legs and belly, daddy's scratchy beard

Dislikes: naptime

What's New in the Last Week: being sick, his baby talk includes more paired vowels and consonants, and he has started to pick things up and throw them to the side like he doesn't want them
