9 months

Am I late or what? Haha.  Parker turned 9 months last week!  He's really starting to thin out and grow vertically.  Parker has also gained at least 3 lbs in a month, he weighs 21lbs now.  With this recent spurt in growth we got him a new carseat.  Originally I wanted the Evenflo Triumph, but they were no where to be seen so we opted for the Safety 1st Guide 65 Ziggy.  I couldn't be happier and it appears Parker loves it too!

At 9 months you can smile, laugh, wave, clap and you have been standing all by yourself recently!  You say dada, mama, yeah and cat.  Eating is one of your favorite things, you especially love pickles.  Everyday I realize  that you're becoming more of your own little person and less of the baby I brought home 9 months ago.

I love you so much Parker.  You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Stay at Home Mom?

We finally got over our cold that's been lingering this week.  Being sick with a cranky baby is no fun at all.  Luckily I had Matt to help out and take care of us sickos.  Our land lord came down today.  I'm so happy everything is getting repaired and updated.  Not going to lie, I was getting a bit anxious waiting for him.  Amongst everything going on Parker stood for the first time all by himself. Oh, did I mention this Mama got a job?  Yep, you're looking at the part time counter girl for a local tattoo studio.  I'm so stoked for some adult time, but I know I'm going to miss my little man so much.

Mommy loves you !
