Seven Months of Parker

I had this written when Parker actually turned seven months old but never downloaded a picture to go with it. So here he was at seven months old even though he is about to turn eight months old. Better late than never right?

This has been a busy month with many "firsts" we have been able to share with Parker. We are so blessed and love our little man more and more each day.

Fun things about Parker:

• He now weighs 15 pounds and is in the 75% for height and 10% in weight. The doctor said this is normal as he is becoming more mobile and burning more calories.
• We have started on other solid foods besides cereal. So far Parker has tried squash, sweet potatoes, pears, & applesauce. He was NOT a fan of peas.
  
• He enjoys sitting in his new high chair and jumping in his Jumparoo.
• He cut his two bottom teeth and is now working on his two top teeth.
• He LOVES our dogs and is so happy when they let him touch their faces, grab their tails, and laughs the most when they lick his hand.
• He has learned how to turn his musical aquarium on and off by kicking it. He does this while he is falling asleep for a nap and when he is waking up.
  
• His laugh is sounding more and more like Papa's.
• He is preparing to be a big brother and is patient with his mom when she is running out of room in her lap because of her growing belly.
• Perhaps the biggest event this month was going to court to finalize Parker's adoption. He is now officially Parker Elliott Spence!!
