9 Months!

Our little photo shoot this month was quite a challenge. Parker wasn't into sitting on the couch - he mostly just wanted to dive off head first. We'll see how the next few months go with these teddy bear shots...

Parker is 9 months old now and growing like a weed. At his 9 month visit to the pediatrician last week he was 20 lbs 6 oz (25-50%) and 29.5 inches long (75-90%).

As I mentioned in the last post, he is on the move all the time and trying to get into everything. It seems as if he has a radar for whatever he is not supposed to get into and that is the first thing he heads for.

He still loves eating and there really isn't anything that he won't eat. He's upgraded to eating some cheerios now. At Costco not too long ago they were handing out samples of strawberry Go-Gurt. Well, I let Parker have a sample and I'm pretty sure he thinks that is the best thing he's ever eaten. He continued squealing for more yogurt throughout the whole store. He ate all of it!

Parker can now give kisses, well, at least his version of a kiss. I tell him to give mommy kisses and he leans in for a face plant. Works for me :)

Parker has also been practicing his high-5's and is really starting to get better at it.
