My 4-month-old.

Weighing in at 17.6 pounds:

Officially teething......

....hence the hand in my mouth in most pictures.

Oh, wait.  Momma forced his hand down for a picture.

But it quickly ended up right back in there.

It's pretty friggin' adorable.

Monkey for dinner.

Those eyes.....I die.

Still not much hair.

"Talking"

Parker is smiling, laughing, and trying to grab anything he can.  He is 25.75 inches in length.  He is in the 88th percentile for his weight, and Mommy gets an arm workout every day.  He found his voice over the weekend, and this boy can make some noise.....seriously.  He's not rolling over just quite yet, but I'd like to think that might have something to do with him being the weight of a 7-month-old. 

 

If you hang in there, you can hear that sweet voice.

Parker, you are everything to Mama and Dada.  We could not imagine a day without you.  I love waking up to your sweet smile and laying your sweet, "tiny", perfect body down at night.  It is so amazing to watch you discover and learn new things.  You make life so much better.  I have never been this happy.
