Parker turned eight months old this past week and started day care. He’s the youngest baby in the “Wobbler” group. This is the “not quite toddler but somewhat mobile” group. In other words, if you put the child on the floor in one spot, do they stay there? The answer with him is NO! We took a video of Parker just starting to crawl back on June 1st and now he’s moving right along. But his big thing is still standing up. As soon as he reaches something in the room, he tries to climb up into a standing position. It can be a little dangerous and we have to watch him close.
Here’s a video of him doing his tricks this past week:
He still loves meal time and we’ve started him on cheerios.
Parker loves the water. We’ve got some pictures of him in the pool at our complex and in the kiddy pool at Grandma and Grandpa McGhees’.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for us. We finally moved out of Greensboro and into a nice little apartment in Burlington. It took an act of congress to get Time Warner out here to install our cable. We had to go two weeks with no TV and no internet. Torture.
Our new apartment is right down the street from where we’re building our house (and Parker’s day care). We met with the builder this week and they have already poured the footing on our lot. It’s cool to see it finally started. If all goes as planned, we should be in the house by Thanksgiving. Brooke starts her new job on Monday. That will be a big adjustment for us all but she is excited. We miss San Diego and our friends there terribly but it is nice to be home again. So far this summer we’ve been down to the beach with Uncle Dave and Aunt Nancy, out on the lake with Uncle Chad, Grandma Moody has done a lot of babysitting, and we went to the Jimmy Buffet concert.
Now that I have internet again, I promise not to be so long between posts. Until next time, Parker and Willis say “goodbye”.
