Parker you are now 5 months old! Oh my! You are such a joy and I wonder everyday how our family was ever without you. You fit in so well with our family! You get wherever you want to go by rolling and doing this semi caterpillar type move. You put your head and stomach on the ground and then tuck you legs under you and put your rear end in the air and push. You haven't quiet figured out how to push up on your arms. But I am in so much trouble when you do! I was trying to get ready today and 3 times had to rescue you from the trenches of your sister's doll house. Apparently you wanted to play with it because I would lay you across the room on a blanket, go to the bathroom come back no less than 2 minutes later and you were back by the doll house. I have a feeling you are going to be just as mischievous as your big sister. You giggle the most at your big sister! She can just look at you funny and you crack up. You laugh with your whole body. There isn't a part that doesn't wiggle when you laugh and I LOVE it! You are also so ticklish. I can tickle your ribs and you just laugh and laugh and hold your breath and your face turns red! I am guessing you weigh around 19 lbs. It is so hard to carry you around in your car seat! We are already going to have to buy a new one soon. Your carrier is only suppose to hold a 22 lb baby! You are drinking about 5- 7 oz bottles a day, which ends up being a LOT of formula! You have started eating real food. So far it has been oatmeal cereal, bananas, apples, and a bite of mashed potatoes or two. I think green beans or sweet potatoes are next. Shhhh don't tell your doctor, she said to wait until you were 6 months old but said we could try a little bit of bananas with your cereal. That went so well that we just moved on. You needed some real food. The formula alone just wasn't enough for you!
I thank God everyday that he has blessed our lives with you and your sister's presence. You are such a sweet little boy and sent straight from heaven. What we did to deserve you and your big sister is beyond me. I am so thankful that he has entrusted us with your lives.
