Lazy Day = Parker Photo Session

7 Months Old

September 27th marked 7 months old….so hard to believe!  We are back to sleeping 11-12 hours straight through the night…yay!  We have also changed Parker to just four 8 oz bottles a day and that seems to be much more filling.  Of course, he is still eating solids but most days we only get in an afternoon and an evening jar.  We have introduced him to Puffs now and he thinks those are just great!  He did get his 2 center teeth while we were in New York so at the 7 month mark, he had 4 teeth total and it is quite apparent that more are coming very soon on the top.  Parker is sitting up very well now by myself and has mastered the high chair and shopping cart.  The infant seat is no more since he weighs an impressive 23 pounds…my arms are just not that strong to tote him around.  He is wearing 12 month and 12-18 months clothes, just depending on the brand.  He is very long but I don’t have an exact length.  He is napping twice a day, about two hours a nap.  He does not like to be rocked to sleep anymore.  He absolutely prefers to just be laid in the crib beside his musical seahorse with his pacifier and blanket and he rolls over without crying and falls asleep.  What a precious child!  How did we ever get so lucky!  We have pretty much retired the swing as well and rely on the nap nanny in the mornings and the walker and froggy exersaucer for later in the day.  He still has not made any attempts at crawling but loves to stand up….Parker is so strong!  We love to be outside on these beautiful fall days and at night, his favorite thing is to play in mom and dad’s bed and cover his face with our sheet.  He is such a delight and his personality is really coming through day by day.  You can be quite the ham Parker and we love you!

 

New York Trip

September 20th, we took off on a big airplane bound for New York to spend a long weekend with Scott’s family.  Parker did amazing on the plane!  I was so worried prior to traveling but he did great.  We had a wonderful time getting to spend time with everyone and Parker sure enjoyed all the attention.  We hope to get back up there soon!
