What a relief! (literally)

Well, Parker is doing much better now and his daily supplement is doing just what it should. Whew! He is sleeping better and isn't suffering from the constant tummy aches he was having before. He is also "cruising" on the furniture, crawling at an ever increasing speed, and getting into everything! He had a weird look on his face on Friday night and he stuck out his tongue with a dried up leaf on it. Eew!

Chris spent a lot of time playing with us this weekend, which was so much fun. We went to the park (despite the fact that it was a million degrees and soggy humid) and Daddy pushed Parker in the baby swing and went down a few different slides with him. Parker loved it. I can't wait until it cools off some and we can spend more than 25 minutes there before we wimp out and retreat to the AC.

Parker also discovered this weekend that he thinks sneezing is hilarious. Chris had a sneezing fit and Parker giggled. Then Chris performed a few more pretend sneezes and Parker started laughing hysterically. He has the best sense of humor. He also thinks chasing the dog around the house in Mommy's arms is a riot. What a fun age he is right now.

I don't know if a drum roll is in order, but we think Parker may have said his first intentional word last night. Chris had been saying "Dada" to him all weekend, and last night when he was changing Parker's diaper, Parker looked at him and clearly said "Dada." Why is it Dad's always win out on that one? Anyway, we're excited that we might have a little talker soon, although I will miss the crazy little language he speaks in now when he learns "real words." :) He is also starting to wave "bye bye" which is super cute.

Hope everybody is having a great Monday!
