7 Months...ALREADY?!

WOW!!! I cannot believe that Parker is 7 months old already! The six month milestone came and went in a flash.  Here are the stats from his 6 month check up:

Weight: 16.7 lbs (30th percentile)
Length: 26 (30th percentile)

Parker is a MOVER and a SHAKER.  He rolls and rolls, never sitting still. He is now sitting up on his own and is very proud of himself for doing so. Parker is happiest when he is outside and in the Baby Bjorn.  He screams with excitement the whole time.  It is hilarious! He loooves his big sister and lights up every time she comes near him.  She seems to be pretty smitten with him too. She dances and sings for Parker and always brings him toys to play with.  Peyton is a very sweet and thoughtful big sister. I hope that never changes!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and took care of the kids while Chris and I went to Napa Valley, California. They had a great time, but were exhausted! Chris and I had an AMAZING trip with the Kuhlemeiers and the Seligs. Total relaxation, we had a driver everyday and did nothing but eat, drink and laugh all day. It was great and we were very thankful that Cliff and Judy came to relieve us. 
Here is a pic of the group:


 

The following weekend Aunt Kim and Uncle Mark came to visit. We had a BLAST! It was so good to see them both, I wish they lived closer. We just have such a great time together and they both are fantastic with the kiddos.  Here are some examples of how good the kids are at wrapping Aunt Kim and Uncle Mark around thier little fingers...















Peyton was really into Halloween this year.  She wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake. She looked so cute.  We had all of her little friends and their families over for the "Pre-Candy" party.  All of the kids were adorable! Parker was a the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen!  He loved it!  We took him out in the Bjorn and he was charming all of the people on the street. He's so adorable, I just wanna smoosh him!












Next week, Mimi comes to visit!  We can't wait to see her!  More updates from that visit coming soon!

Sooo much love!
