5 Months

I've been getting some heat for not posting anything in a while. Well, it's been a lot to juggle work, guests, and a baby. I must say it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. First, I'm insanely busy at work, so I don't have time to miss little P. Second, I have the most wonderful family members who have come to stay with Parker while I finish the school year. Parker has been able to bond with so many of his relatives and I'm thankful for that. Now, I have just five more days of school to finish (3 full days and 2 half days... but who's counting....) then I am free!!!

Look who turned 5 months today!

Parker James (6/1/11)

I can't believe my little guy is five months old today! He's getting so much bigger and it seems like he's doing new things each week. He has discovered the joys of the "exer-saucer." He loves grabbing at all the animals and is getting so good at standing up in it. He has become so much more active and can't get enough of new things to look at. We get tons of smiles out of him, but most of the day he looks very inquisitive and acts like a little sponge, soaking everything up.

He also tries to put everything in his mouth. He has also discovered his feet and will suck on his toes. Yum. Changing his diaper has become more difficult because he'll grab his feet and not let go. I have to wrestle his foot away just to take the diaper off.

Putting various things in his mouth.

We feel so blessed to have such wonderful baby! We love him so much!
