Parker's First......

....Tooth!!

Yeah Parker has a tooth. Parker's first tooth popped through on Saturday, which has been a miserable experience for ALL of us! I have been keeping him pumped full of baby Tylenol which does seem to help. We've had several long nights and cranky days, but it's been alright. I just feel so bad for him when he is in pain, so I can't get too upset about my lack of sleep:) It's kind of hard to see it in these pictures, but it's in there, I promise!!



....Solids!!

On Monday Parker had his first taste of real food!! He got to try peas, and actually liked them, once he figured out how to swallow:) He gagged and choked on the first couple of bites, but once he got the swallowing down, he did great. We'll give him peas for a few days and then let him try something else. Next on the list is green beans--yum yum!!


....Halloween!!

Parker dressed up as a cute dinosaur for our Ward Halloween party. He looked so cute!! Travis dressed up as a werewolf, and I went as a black cat. We were pleasantly surprised that he wasn't scared of everyone in costume. He didn't even mind Travis' werewolf mask. We had a lot of fun at the party, but Travis was exhausted from all the work he did on the Haunted House. The young men are always in charge of putting the haunted house together, so Travis had to make sure everything got done. It turned out great, and he did enjoy it.


....Pumpkin Carving!!

For Family Home Evening this week we carved pumpkins. It was funny to watch Parker discover the new texture of the slime inside the pumpkin. It kept him quite entertained while daddy carved a face in his pumpkin. Notice his pumpkin only has one tooth--Just like Parker-Boy!!
