9 MONTHS and ready to take over the world




It's official.  Parker has now been in the outside world longer than the cramped inside of mom's stomach and from the looks of things he is not going back in.  After 9 months he is either convinced that he is too big to fit back inside or that his parents really aren't that bad (and if they are there is plenty of family who will love and adore him).  

Parker is weighing in at near 20 pounds (most of which is in the legs).  Perhaps it is the dragging of his weight but whatever the case may be he doesn't seem all that anxious to crawl but would rather do laps around the house and anywhere his wobbly legs will take him.  Teeth are emerging and in their vampire way continue to dig into mom's neck and arm as he is a big time mama' boy.  Though starting to develop an attitude he continues to be easy going and easy to be entertained (as long as mom is in arm's reach).  Baths are a joy and one place that he seems to never want to leave.  

Mom continues to be ever present and ever loving as she takes every opportunity to read to him (something he is loving and learning to turn pages).  Mom has even been the recipient of what a jealous dad witnessed as an audible "ma ma" as he reached for her while on her knees having family prayer.  

Dad is just happy that he smiles and is recognized when he comes home for lunch only to be sprayed with baby food while feeding him (white shirts may no longer be so white!).  

Happy 9 months buddy.  It's better out here with you.

What a cute boy he is!

How are you feeling? I've tried calling (your house phone) a couple of times, but haven't been able to get ahold of you. I hope you're doing ok and taking full advantage of not being able to do much!
