Swinger

First time on the swings at the park. I think he likes it!

The Buddy System

Sometimes you just need a friend to show you the way. Parker has been eating a variety of pureed foods, but the quantity has been pretty small. After watching his friend Oliver power through fruit and cereal yesterday, he must have decided it was the way to go. He ate a whole lot of oatmeal and applesauce for breakfast!

A Plea to the Tooth Fairy

Dear Tooth Fairy,

Please make the pain go away. I got my first tooth today, and I can't really see doing this 25 more times.

Love,

Parker

4 Month Check Up

Parker had his 4 month check up and shots on Monday. He weighed in at 18 lbs 5 oz, and 27 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 95th percentile for height and 90th for weight. I already knew he was a big boy, since he is outgrowing 9 month clothes!

He is sleeping on a pretty regular schedule now. He goes to bed around 8 pm, sleeps til 4 am, eats, then sleeps til 8 am. He only takes 2 shorts naps during the day, so I guess he is saving it all up for night time.

Since his zucchini adventure, he has added yams and avocado. The only one he really reacted to was the avocado. He LOVED it! A true California boy. We might have to get him some surfing lessons to go with that ;•)
