Seven Months!

Parker is 7 months old!

He is quite the screamer these days....high-pitched and about as loud as he can! He is also no respecter of where he screams. Church is fair game...during prayers, even better :) He is also starting to understand taking turns in "conversation" and will take turns with me or whoever screaming back and forth.
Parker now realizes that when you put something away or set it down that it is still there and he tries to find it. He does this especially with his bottle and his books. He will lean over and crane his neck as far as possible to find what he wants.
No longer does Parker sit peacefully and drink his bottle...now he needs to check out all the action. No sound goes unnoticed. He has started to want to fully sit up and have me feed him the bottle - it is starting to look like he needs a gerbil feeder.

Parker loves having us read his books to him, especially "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". If we get the page turn started he will turn the page on his own.

We are getting closer to having a crawler, but definitely not there yet. He is getting more and more practiced at sitting up.

Parker is now eating three meals a day with bottles in and around. Eating time has always been and still is Parker's favorite time.




Wendie did an all out picture shoot of Parker last week, so there are lots of pictures yet to come!

Love the new layout & the picture of the 3 of you is very cute! It's fun to read Parker's milestones because they're almost the exact same ones Ali's going thru too! It's amazing how babies grow & develop!

Hey, you make your own baby food, right? Did you use a recipe book?? Ollie has inherited Steve's fruit allergies so I have to get creative.
