5 Months

Parker has been doing great! Today, he turns 5 months old, so we went and bought him a new "big, boy" toy. He is a driving machine. He turns the wheel, shifts gears, and honks the horn like he knows what he's doing.


Parker is getting good at sitting up. He wobbles back and forth, but he can usually compensate his weight when he gets leaning over to far one way. He is still doing the "Inch Worm" move to get around. He is getting close to pulling that belly off the floor and crawling. However, I think he will be walking before we know it. He is so good at standing up; he can hold his weight by himself for a little while. Parker is consistently sleeping 10 - 12 hours every night. He loves to sleep on his side with his pillow. That pillow is the biggest security blanket a kid has ever had. He usually hugs it; one foot and one arm up on top and he always buries his face in it. SCARY for mom and dad! Parker's schedule is like clockwork. Gets up, 1 1/2 to 2 hours later he goes back to bed and sleeps for about an hour. He sleeps so much, but mom and dad aren't complaining.

Besides more pool time, softball, and enjoying summer time everything has been pretty much same ol'. This last week, my mom and sisters and I have put on a garage sale. We had a good morning Thursday, but it rained Friday and Saturday. Parker was quite the trooper.
