Parker is 7 months!

Parker turned 7 months last Friday!  At 7 months, Parker ...

- has his 2 front teeth on the bottom;

- is getting pretty good at sitting up by himself, but still likes to turn and fall to the floor when he finds toys that are more interesting;

- is pretty mobile!  He uses a combination of rolling and turning and get where he wants to go.  He is also very squirmy and rolls out of his bouncer if I don't buckle him;

- is a pro at eating puffs and Cheerios!  He especially likes the apple cinnamon puffs.  He also likes eating banana chunks;

- is getting better at eating jar baby food.  He really loves oatmeal and multi-grain cereal, pears, and applesauce, and is starting to at least tolerate carrots and sweet potatoes;

- is starting to interact more with Jackson and they are really cute together!  They especially like to squeal and growl back and forth at each other;

- is very interested in all the things he isn't supposed to play with (computers, remotes, cell phones, etc.) and is a very persistent little boy;

- finally took a bottle again!  He had a couple of bottles when he was a lot younger, but hasn't taken a bottle in months.  We finally got him to drink a bottle again a couple of weeks ago now that he can hold it and feed himself;

- likes to "talk" and laugh with us, and is in general a pretty happy baby;

- is my little cuddle bug.  He lets me know he's tired by putting his head on my shoulder or lap and cuddling for a few seconds at a time :)

And here's our handsome little Parker!

I let Parker gnaw on an apple slice and he LOVED it!
Although now that he has teeth, I have to watch him carefully
because he bites pieces off :)

Parker's first time in the high chair

Putting puffs in his mouth for the first time ... 

checking out this new stuff ... 

And he likes them!

He was pretty proud of himself!

He loves the TV remote!

I left the room for a second and came back to Parker rolling himself up into the blanket

He thought it was pretty silly!

Parker's first and second teeth poking through!

My silly boy :)

I love this kid's smile!

Love these boys!!
