Parker 9 Months

Wow! Parker is ever where now! He is pulling up and standing on his own without holding onto anything and he has even tried to take a step or two, but he loses his balance and falls. He loves Braden and follows him from room to room. It is so awesome to see his personality evolve. So far he seems pretty easy going, unless he is hungry. He loves to smile and giggle, but is going through stranger anxiety and only likes to be held by mommy, daddy, grr or palpaw. Which is ok with me because I love my little cuddle bug!

Highlights....

• eating solid foods. He loves bananas, well he pretty much loves everything. The only food he hasn't really liked was grits.




• Says mama, dada, bubba, and palpaw. Mostly he says dada. He gets so excited when Brad comes in the room and crawls straight to him.




• Parker seems to be weaning himself from milk. He is only nursing in the morning and at night and occasionally in the middle of the afternoon.




• He weighs 18.5 lbs. Dr. Gamble said that he fell from the 25th percentile in weight to the 10th, but it could be because he is so active for his age.


• Parker now has....4 teeth! 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. Simply adorable!
