Parker is 9 Months Old

Sweet little Parker you are growing up and changing so fast.  I feel like this last month you started doing so many new things.  You are cruising around the house in your walker now and you love your new independence and ability to explore as you wish.  This also means you are opening drawers and cabinets everywhere.  Molly loves to blow raspberries with you in the car and you think she is hilarious.  You have the cutest belly laugh and were trying so hard to learn how to crawl this last month.  You have a few good bumps and bruises on your head because of it.  You roll from one side of the room to the other and scoot and crawl backwards now.  You have both bottom teeth and one top tooth now.  You are still suffering with ear infections and are on more antibiotics.  You sleep great when your ears aren't bothering you and nap so well in your car seat and crib these days.  You are so attached to Mommy it is crazy.  I left you for the first time at the gym playcare and the church nursery this last month and you cried and screamed the whole time.  You are very aware of who is holding you and you prefer Mommy, Daddy or Nana.  When I leave the room you start to whine and cry until you can see me again.  As long as I'm in the room you play happily on the floor by yourself with all your toys.  You love to put everything in your mouth these days.  Parker we just love you to pieces and can't believe how close you are to turning 1.  Can you please slow down on the major milestones and just be a baby a little bit longer for Mommy?  Love you to the moon and back Parker man.
