Okay, I'll be a bad mommy! It has been FOREVER since I've updated the blog, but to my defense it has been super busy around here. School is out in 3 days and Maize softball has come to an end (so I have no excuse now). Parker is sleeping better at night. He will go to bed now around 10:30 and usually gets up around 2 and then again around 6. On a good night he will sleep from 10:30 to 4. Won't complain...we have come a long way in a couple months. He LOVES to talk! Tammy, our babysitter, says he talks all day long; Kevin and I get to hear him on the weekends. Still haven't heard a big laugh yet, but he is a chuckler. However, all his smiles make up for the lack of laughter. About 2 weeks ago, Parker rolled over for the first time from front to back. He had done it before with the assistance of a pillow, but this time he was all by himself. He is getting close going from back to front. Every time I update, I mention how fast Parker is growing...and this time is no exception. He is getting so big! He is a little chunk, but he is also so long! We are at 3 1/2 months and he already wears clothes for 9 months old. He also has really started enjoying his playmat. He reaches for the hanging toys and giggles when they rattle or make noises. His hands are a popular toy right now. He watches them and chews on them constantly. We have tried out the jogging stroller too. Mom needs to get back in shape...I'm sure Parker is thinking "is this all the faster this thing goes?" We'll be moving by the end of the summer Parker - promise!
I had a great first Mother's Day. We started at Great Grandma's Church then went to Wyldewood Winery for a picnic lunch with Grandma Lisa. Then Parker and I got to hang out that evening; he was good all day and we got some great pictures.

As I mentioned earlier, the last week or so have been so busy! Parker has been quite the superstar everywhere we go. He has been to a couple of the Eagle Softball games and is quite the flirt with all the girls! Parker made some appearances at some the of graduation parties of the seniors and was so good. This was after being at the ballfield all day because Kevin and I were playing in the coed softball tournament for Riverfest. Such a trooper!


Only 3 more days of school with kids and then 2 inservice days AND I'M DONE!! I can't wait to be with Parker every day. We are going to have so much fun.
