our little man...is not so LITTLE anymore!

On the 20th, we went to Parker's 4-month doctor appointment. Dr. Carson said that he is doing GREAT! His eye, although still goopy, is showing no signs of infection, so as far as that goes he is set! Thanks Dr. Liz for getting him started on drops so quickly! He is now 16 lbs. 5 oz. (90th percentile) and 26 in. long (also 90th percentile). We can't believe how much he has grown since last month. He is now sleeping about 11 hours at night, and we love it! He does new things all the time and we are anxiously waiting for him to start rolling over...he is just SO CLOSE! He also got some shots at his appointment. I am always amazed how well he does with these. He cries for just a couple seconds and is over it. We are also so proud and we hear other kiddos in other rooms screaming and ours is giggling right afterward! I am sure that this will change as he gets a little older, but here's hoping! After his appointment Parker and Mommy headed to the Tri-Cities for a weekend visit! We missed Daddy a bunch! We got to go to the hockey game and it was a blast. On Saturday, little guy and I headed to Yakima for my friend Ashley's baby shower. It was fun to see Ashley and get to share some of my "new-mommy-wisdom" haha, yeah right! After the shower we headed back for another hockey game! Parker was so funny and once he got tired would cry and get the saddest look on his face everytime the crowd got really noisy! We couldn't help but laugh. On Sunday, it was nice to just relax and hang out with my mom. I have missed her so much. Then, we headed back to Cheney in the afternoon so we could spend time with Trav when he got home from work. We really missed him, and I think he was really missing his little buddy after not seeing him for a couple days. It is so sweet. Parker is absolutely obsessed with Trav in the last month. Every time Trav enters a room and Parker sees or hears him he is compelled to stare and giggle. I love watching them together too. Parker just laughs and laughs. His laugh now is a very high-pitched squeal. Sometimes I think he is fussy, when he is really just laughing or concentrating. It took me a week to get used to his new noise and realize he wasn't actually being fussy. Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks!

Parker has started to grab his toes and tip over. It is so funny to watch him roll back and forth!

We have started giving him rice cereal in the afternoon and he is doing pretty well with it!

We always have a bib on him now because of his constant drooling from chewing on everything. I keep checking to see if he has any teeth coming in...none yet!

He is so close to rolling over...I always have the video camera close during his "tummy time."

I love his little polo shirt...so cute!

We just love him so much and he is getting so big so fast. Here is a little video of him "screaming" aka laughing and talking while playing on his activity mat last night, it was hilarious. He was doing it so much before I brought out the camera, but you get the idea!
