Time Flies!!

I can't believe it is almost the middle of Nov. and I have not had a chance to update.
We had a great Halloween!! Our little lion roared through his trick-or-treating and won a medal at his first costume party!! He was so excited he didn't take a nap all day so by the time it was time to go he was ready for bed!!
Last week, Parker had to have surgery on his "man parts." One of his testicles never dropped so they went in and pulled it down and repaired a small hernia. He did so good!! I was more worked up than he was. The hardest part was watching him come out of the anesthesia, he was very disoriented and just cried. It broke my heart. But he was back to himself within the day.
We also took family pictures. I will post a few of my favorites but you can go to http://www.frostfotos.com/ and click on "clients" and the password is SEALY. They turned out great!! Our little man is growing up so fast!!

ROAR!!

Hello!!

Our Little Pumpkin

Parker had his first experience at the pumpkin patch. I had full intentions to dress him up in his costume but it was 90 degrees here and that was not pumpkin patch weather. So, we took a few and might go back when we have some "fall" weather. We had so much fun dressing Parker up and taking pictures of him (I should probably say "I" had fun dressing him up). He actually didn't mind all the action!!

Chillin' at the pumpkin patch

Yummy pumpkin!!

This is SO funny!!

He fits!!

Dinner time!!

So serious...I think he had enough!!

ROAR!!!

Hopefully it is cool for Halloween so we can wear the entire costume!!

6 months

Parker went for his 6 month check up and our little man is growing quickly!! He weighs 21 pounds and is 27 1/2 inches long. He rolls around like he is on a mission to find something to get into. It is so funny to watch him go. The last couple of weeks, he has gone from sleeping through the night to waking up either wide awake or hungry!! After much trial and error to try and fix this situation, we found 2 little teeth poking through his gums. His sleeping is back to normal which is a great thing for Mommy and Daddy. We ordered his "big boy" car seat and got it in the other day. Even though we only have 1 pound until we out grow his infant car seat, I am just not ready to make the switch. We ended up ordering a car seat called Maxi-Cosi. It seems to have all the features we were looking for and good reviews. Check out our growing boy...

TEETH!!

Parker's Special Day

Parker Ryan was baptised on September 6th. What an amazing feeling to witness your child being baptised!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends to support us on this special day. Parker also met his great grandparents for the first time!! Our little boy is forever growing and changing!! What a joy it is to experience each moment with him!!

Parker's best friend

Parker has really grown to love his doggy!! Sambo is so good with him. As you can see, Sambo lets Parker tug and pull on him. They are so cute together!!

4 months

So the question we always get asked is "how old is he?" When we say 4 months, the response is always wow!! So we call him our "chunky monkey!!" He weighs 18 pounds (90%) and is 26" long (90%), Lucas claims he is very proportional!! I have learned how impatient babies can be. When he wants something, especially food, he wants it now!! We will have to work on being patient when he gets a little older. His giggles and talking are the most wonderful things in the world to hear. At times, he will just stare at me with his big blue eyes as if to say, I love you Mommy!! Melts my heart!! Since he has started eating rice cereal, he goes to bed between 7 and 8pm and wakes up between 7 and 8pm, very nice for us!! Here some latest pictures-

Love my new swing!!

Trying hard to roll over. Mastered it a couple of times, but still not a professional!!

Mimi bought this outfit for Christmas but since he is growing so much we were afraid he might not fit into it in December. So, we had "Christmas in July!!" We might be lucky, it seems to be a large 9 mo. outfit so maybe he will squeeze into it later too!! He was a trooper, even though we never got that cute smile we all love!!

Pretty funny!!

Parker's first pony

Beating the Heat!!!

Over the 4th of July we went to Nana and Grandpa's house and spent a lot of time relaxing in the pool!! Parker loves the water!! He either likes to swim around with you or lay in his float and fall asleep. Rough life!!

Trying to stay awake for my very first fireworks show!!

Now, you are never going to believe this...Parker has started eating rice cereal!! He was sleeping through the night and this past week decided to start waking up at 3am, 4am, 5am...hungry. I would make him wait it out until 6am but after a few days of that I was pretty tired. So, we started giving him an ounce of rice cereal . His first few bites were pretty funny, he started gaging and then got the hiccups. After a little bit he was tired of trying and wanted the easy road so we gave him his bottle. These past few days have been better, he really has gotten the hang of swallowing and seems to like it.
