9 month old Bear

 9 month old Parker Bear

P Bear showing his new top two teeth bringing the count up to 4 total!

Parker, you are such a little bear, you weighed in at 20 lbs, 1 oz (48%)  at your 9 month check-up and were off the charts for length, 30 3/4 inches (100%++) and 98% for that sweet "little" head of yours!  Your largest achievement, of which you've definitely earned, this month is your top two teeth.  I love it when you laugh really hard and we can see all four of your teeth!

The pediatrician told us you need to be moving a bit more or by about 10 1/2 months you might need a little physical therapy....WHAT?!!  You have all of the tools and strength, we just need you to WANT to go after things.  Well, guess what, we have been praying and praying for your big little body to start moving around a little more than you already are.  Since I'm a bit behind in posting this post, this week, Wednesday to be exact, you started rolling around and going after things.  God is good little buddy, we love you!

You are comfortably wearing 18 month old clothes, hum/groan/moan a lot, love to stand up and are trying to walk, love, love, love your little finger foods (wagon wheels, puffs, crackers).  Your personality continues to shine through and we know you already have a very big and loving heart.  You make our days, and nights, such a blessing just by being you!

Love you bear~
