Parker is now 10 months old and these photo shoots with the bear are increasingly more difficult for me on dive duty and Wendie for her patience with Parker's less than developed attention span. I know that Wendie is counting down the photo shoots we have to do with the bear and the couch (just two more left now). This one above is about as good as it gets for both parties sitting up. :)
Parker is hilarious....and he thinks that nearly everything else is hilarious. He laughs so much!! He is pretty easily entertained. When we have dinner as a family he spends his time trying to get everyone to pay attention to him and he'll keep us laughing however he can. I think we have the class clown on our hands. He's definitely taking after his dad...
Parker is ON THE MOVE! He can't sit still for a minute! Changing his diaper is like an all-out wrestling match. I have yet to perfect the art of changing a diaper while Parker is standing up. Which leads me to my next point....Parker is pulling up on everything and standing. Gone are the days of finding him in the morning peering over the bumper in the crib smiling at me. Now, I find him every morning and after every nap standing up in his crib holding on to the rails and yelling...sometimes happy yells and sometimes not-so-happy yells.
After watching olympic diving, Parker ispracticing is his couch diving technique.
Earlier this month Parker had a fever which would go down with medicine, but always went back up. The fever remained for three days and Parker kept feeling worse and worse. On day three we took him to the nurse practicioner at the pediatrian's office and her diagnosis: Ear infection. For a mom who studied ears for four years you would have thought I should have caught on sooner....oh well! I have to say that his ears didn't seem red to me, but with some antibiotics Parker was back to himself in no time. Thank goodness!
Parker loves my keys...he always has, but this is the only thing that could get him to sit still for a second for the photos.
Here Parker looks as though is is directing
the orchestra in a very spirited song.
Parker has just recently started to have more of a preference for certain foods and if he doesn't like what you give him he will make a terrible face and spit it out.
Parker now has two more teeth coming in to total 10 teeth so far!
He's quite a character. I just asked Chad if he could think of anything about Parker to add for this month. He said that Parker is just plain wild. He said we should auction off the parental rights to him and start the bidding out low knowing what a wild animal he is. :) I think we'll have to pass on auctioning him off for now. We love him lots and lots even if he is crazy.
Who could resist that face?

That last pic is definitely one of my favorites so far! A crazy shoot always leads to at least one gem that will be treasured in years to come. Thank goodness!! :)
Those series of pictures are great! He's gorgeous!
He's so adorable!!! He's lucky to have a budding photographer for an aunt!
