Love Jones: August 2010

A WHOLE month has already passed since my last blog entry?!
I feel like I am in a time machine that is full speed ahead!

What have we been up to? Lots and lots of Summer fun!

Parker had his 4 Month check up in July. Here are his stats:

Weight: 14lbs 3oz (35th percentile)

Length: 23.5 inches (8th percentile)

Head Circumference: 41.25 cm (25th percentile)

He is getting so big, so fast! At 4 months, Peyton was only 11 lbs 8 oz and 23 inches long. So Parker is much chunkier than she was! He is so so so cute. We just cant get enough of that little face. He still loves to smile with that big "gummy" grin. Parker must be moving at all times. He will sit in the bouncy, bumbo or excersaucer for about 10 minutes and then is ready for a rotation. I bought him a "jumper-roo" today. So we shall see if he likes that. He would really rather just be held. Doesn't even matter who is holding him, just likes to be snuggled. Chris jokingly calls him a "Mama's Boy". For now, I (Mama) am just fine with that.

I loooove to snuggle that little man.

Parker started cereal right at the 4 month mark and did amazing with it. Only took him one feeding and he was gobbling it down like a champ. So now, at 5 months, we started jar foods. So far we have only tried peas, but he is into it! We will soon begin cereal and veggie/fruit twice a day.

Peyton has been such a good girl over the last few months. She loooves her brother and keeps asking when he can stand up and play. Peyton really enjoyed Summer Camp at North Raleigh Church of Christ. Her teacher, Mrs. Catherine, said that Peyton really came out of her "shy" shell and became a very vocal member of the class. That sounds more like a child of ours! She has been very shy lately when we go to parties or when she goes to school. We figure it is a "crowd" issue. Peyton starts school 5 days a week on September 1st (tomorrow), so we will keep you posted on her progress. We are pleased with her teachers, Mrs. Theresa and Mrs. Carrie. So it should be another fun filled year at preschool.

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to:

First Cereal!
