The Laws

My parents babysat tonight while we went to a wedding shower in Wichita Falls. We had a great time catching up with our WF buddies, even though Parker has been "partying" all weekend and forsaking daytime naps. Here is the pic my mom sent tonight while in charge of Master P:




Her quote was, "I fought the law and the law won"... at 9:41pm.

Big Boy Dinner

I'll admit he should be sitting up a little straighter, but he likes sitting like a big boy in a high chair nonetheless!

Stroller Time With Daddy

Benton took Parker out in the stroller tonight since it's a cool 90 degrees and I'm getting my hair colored. Looks like Benton wore him out!

Johnny JumpUp

All of our door frames are too tall for Parker's fee to hit the floor in his JJU, but he still had fun swinging in it today!

4 Month Checkup

I always think I'm going to take a picture while we're at the doctor's office and then I forget once we're there.

Things weren't off to a great start this morning when I had to wake up Parker to get ready to make the 20 minute drive to the doctor's office. He only took half of his bottle before I had to load him up in the car. I was trying to give him the rest of the bottle while we waited in the exam room. When the doctor came in, I stopped feeding him so I could shake the doctor's hand. At this point, Parker flipped out and went berserk. I guess it was the pause in eating combined with a shorted nap, but he would not calm down.

The doctor and I talked through his hysterics and she examined him while I held him bawling on y lap. He wad almost calmed down, and then she examined his boy parts and he flipped out all over again!

Good news is that he now weighs 15.5 pounds putting him in the 60th percentile for weight, he's 26 inches long (70th percentile), and he has a big head. At least his head is rounding out, but he still needs to sleep on his side to help the flat spot on the back of his head. All in all, a very good report!

We cried again when he got his shots, but stopped pretty quickly once he got some more to eat and realized we were going home. He's now catching up on his sleep - you can see the big bandaids on his thighs.

Crusin'

It's been way too hot to spend much time outside in the stroller, but mom needed something else for us to do this morning. P's New Balance tennis shoes now fit and we took the big boy stroller since the other one was in Benton's car. We were only out about 20 minutes, but Parker loved every sightseeing minute of it!

Wish I had the new iPhone so I could take a better picture of us!
