Parker Update

Many wonderful things have happened during Parker's 9th month. He started to crawl, got some teeth, learned to dance, and said "all done." Within the last week, right before he turned 10 months, he started to take steps on his own and started ... SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! It is very exciting. It took him a while, but we think that he just didn't eat enough to sustain him through the night. One morning he woke up and was mad that he only had 6 oz in his bottle. We gave him more, and that day he ate 7-8 ounces all day. Then he slept through the night! So now he eats and sleeps and all is well. Below are a few videos that we thought were funny. One of them I took vertically and couldn't figure out how to turn the video around so you have to watch it sideways.

Oh and one more thing.... the house is messy... so don't mind that.


This is Parker dancing to his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse CD. It's his favorite even though we don't have cable and don't watch the show.


This is Parker walking from Brady to me. He doesn't fall at the end even though it looks like it.



This is the one you have to watch side ways. His expression is cute.



And another note... not about Parker... Brady started school this week. Not too exciting, but nevertheless it is something new.

Missing Daddy

Brady is gone for 5 days to the west side doing some accounting stuff with his mom. Hopefully it will give him some practice and get him in the mindset of "accounting" before his class starts in a couple of weeks. Sadly though, Parker really misses him (well I do too). He crawled around saying "da-de" all day. I tried to wrestle with him (as much as a pregnant woman can) and play with him the way that Brady typically does... but there was an obvious difference. So Parker and I took some pictures this evening for his daddy cause we know daddy misses Parker too.


Parker trying to get daddy through the camera.
Had to retrieve the binky
Awwww... he stood and smiled for daddy.


Brady has seen this video so it is mostly for family far away. It is about how Parker can entertain himself with 2 Binky's for an extended period of time. This is just a clip. Also, a warning.... this is probably not the most sanitary activity either.
