dont you just love that new family picture we have? jared's cousin desirae took them for us and she did a great job! i love how they turned out.
it's cute that our first initials spell out pb&j huh?
i thought so too.
well folks, looks like we have ourselves an 8 month old little dude. can you believe it? me either. 8 months. crazy. as my smart sister carissa put it, "that's like only 4 months away from a year!" (she is one smart cookie.)
yes this is gonna be one of "those" blog posts... you know the ones where a mom brags about all the new tricks their baby is doing. but like everyone else, i want to write it down so i can remember. feel free to skip the words and head to the pictures (which i need to be way better at taking by the way....)
at 8 months parker is.........
*weighing in at 16 pounds 1.5 ounces
*26 inches tall
*army crawling away
*eating all his fruits and veggies
*eating chicken and turkey
*eating ritz crackers (which make a huge mess by the way)
*tried a vanilla wafer from his uncle kyle, and an animal cracker given to him by the bishop at church (he loved both)
*does not like to play independently
*loves his walks
*gets excited when we pull our bikes out for a bike ride
*likes to help me "fold" the laundry
*loves to sit and read/look at books
*enjoys sitting in his bumbo watching his mama sing and dance around the kitchen while she cooks or cleans.
*loves to clap
*loves bath time
*thinks he is one cool dude at the store now that he sits in the shopping cart. (seriously, its adorable.)
*jibber jabbers all day
*laughs so hard when daddy plays with him

I LOVE preparing for Halloween. It's so fun. Our first halloween, I was an autobot and Joel was a deceptcon. 2nd year I was Wendy (from Wendy's) and Joel was Ronald McDonald, then 3rd Halloween Alice was a pony and Joel and I were cowboys. 4th Halloween, Alice wanted to be a Dog. :P We didn't know what spin to do with that. Maybe you could be a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. I'm sure you'll come up with something GREAT! :)
