Water Baby

Parks is loving the baby pool...

One of us still has to be either in it or right beside it for balance purposes, but it's been fun to watch her  in there!!!

Rolling

I posted in Parker's 5 month update that she could roll, but didn't do it often.  Well that has certainly changed.  Little Miss is rolling ALL the time and very quickly.  Here's a quick video!

Mother's Day

I had a great first Mother's Day!  We went to Sunday School and just spent the day relaxing around the house!!  Parker took a big afternoon nap that day too. 

Drew asked me over and over what I wanted to do for Mother's Day and all I could really tell him was to take Parker to the pool.  Since she LOVES bathtime so much, I was (and still am) interested to see how she will do swimming. 
I talked to some neigbors and kept hearing how cold the water in our neighborhood pool is, so we decided to go ahead and buy a baby pool for the back deck.  After miss priss woke up from her nap, we put on our bathing suits and had some fun.  She wasn't sure about it at first, but warmed up to it.  I can't wait to see her reaction in the big pool soon!

Five Months Old

Where to start about our sweet girl at five months....

We are SO blessed with a happy, carefree baby.  She rarely cries, so when she does, we know something is up... whether it be sleepy, hungry or dirty!  Parker loves to play and laugh. 

* She is able to roll from her tummy to her back and from her back to her tummy, although she doesn't do it very often!

* I love the smiles and excitement I get in the afternoon when I get home from work.  (I would most definitely love to be a stay at home mommy, but her reaction when I get home is exciting and fun!)

* Parker does not like rice cereal or oatmeal, so we have taken a break on trying either of those for a while. 

*She loves to sit up and look around... in laps, on the boppy, in her entertainer, in the bumbo wherever...as long as she can see.  We are also practicing sitting up on our own!!

* Has a new-found fascination with mommy's hair (or any other lady with long hair that she can pull on!)

* Parker went to the nursery at church for the first time this morning and did great! 

* She is wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes, but can still fit in a few 0-3 outfits.  Parks is still skinny, but has gotten some chunky legs and a little bit of belly.  I'd love to know what she weighs!

*Parker is able to sleep all night, and has been for 2 months.  Now whether or not she does is another story!

Here's our 5 month old....

My Dad stopped by for a visit on the Tuesday after Easter.  It was a short visit, but it was great to see him. Parker enjoyed the visit...

We snapped these one day in the swing...

An Easter Post...

I started this last week, but we kept having computer and/or internet problems.... so I'm just now getting around to finishing it!

I guess it's better late than never.  Things have been a little crazy around our house and I haven't had a chance to get pictures off the camera until this week!

We were excited for Easter weekend, because that  brought a special visitor from Houston home to see us... that's right... Jager was here!  I was very excited to see him, and I think he really enjoyed a playful, interactive Parker.  Mom was able to come down for the weekend, too.  Unfortunately Drew had to work on Easter Sunday, but Mom, Parker and I went to church.  It was Parker's first visit to actual church.  We have taken her to Sunday School several times, but have never made it to church.  We had lunch after church, then Parker explored her Easter basket(s) and gifts.  Here are a few pictures...
