8 months old

My little boy is not so little anymore. He is getting harder and harder to lug around but I am enjoying the time he lets me hold him. I know once he starts moving around really good that he won't want all the holding time. :(

I took Parker to get his picture made for his 8 month birthday. I wish I did this more often b/c with Haley I took her every month. (I know I was crazy) It is true what they say that each kid you have; you have fewer pictures. Anyways here are the pictures:

FYI...No Parker can't stand on his own yet but he does really good if you let him hold on.

Things we are doing at 8 months:

* still no teeth but we are trying more chewable foods.

*trying to crawl but haven't actually gone anywhere yet.

*eating about 5 jars of stage 2 baby food a day.

*sleeps very well at night

*takes a sippy cup with juice or water during meals

*4 bottles a day

*morning nap and afternoon nap; bedtime 8pm

*recently started riding in the grocery basket like a big boy!

*sleeps on his tummy now (has also learned how to pull up and stand in the bed so had to lower the crib last weekend)

*newest accomplishment...clapping! I love it...he looks so sweet and cute when he claps his little hands.
