I am again behind in posting pictures of Parker but here are few.........Here are some of her 7 month pictures and she is really wanting to go somewhere but hasn't quite figured it out yet.

At 7 months:

--Sitting by herself and playing

--Loves Skeeter but he doesn't have the same love for her

--Loves being held

--Nurses 4 times a day

--Eating most baby foods

--Loves her snacks...puffs, yogart melts and cherios

--rolls over and beginning to roll to get toys

--goes to bed at 6:30 and gets up anywhere from 7:00-8:00

--Is beginning to ride in shopping cards like a big girl instead of in her carrier

--Is pretty happy most of the time but can throw a fit :)

Catch up pictures of the past few months

Logan pushing Parker around the shoe store! Logan had a blast!

A day at the park with a bunch of friends but I got a picture of Casey and her boys eating lunch.

Parker and Teague "playing" while the other bigger kids played on the playground.

Us at Riley's 2nd birthday party in Feb.

I keep my little camera in my diaper bag so that I always have it with me but don't download the pictures very often. I did the other day so here are a few pictures with friends from the past few months.

Nashville Flood 2010

The support out in full force in Bellvue--truly amazing!

Our old house---the entire street, both sides, was demolished!

All of the belogings out in front of the house---it broke my heart! Stewart put ALOT of sweat into that house--we (really he) laid all the hardwoods himself, put in carpent, painted, new countertops, redid the bathroom and he re-tiled the floor. It truly broke my heart!

The flood around Nashville has been unbeliveable! Its hard to imagine the damage water can do to houses, roads, cars and people's lives. I saw it first hand in Hopkinsville in 1996 when it flooded and our youth group went around cleaning up for about a week and the memories begin to fade after 14 years but they all came back after seeing the pictures of this flood. Luckly we didn't have any damage--a little water in the basement but not really even flooded. However, I just knew Stewart and I's first house was flooded becuase it backed up to the Harpeth River in Bellvue. I went out there the other day to see and below are a couple of pictures of the house. I didn't see any of our neighbers while I was out there but the support and people helping was overwhelming. PLease keep all of those affected by this flood in your prayers becuase it has been devastaing for Nashville!

6 Month Pictures

I'm a little behind posting these pictures and stats because she is now 7 months...moving has put me a little behind.

Parker at 6 months:

-Almost 16 pounds (55th percentile)

-27 inches long (92nd percentile)

-eating baby food 2 times a day

-nursing 6 times a day (but will be cut down)

-can roll over but doesn't really unless it's by accident

-loves to stand and jump

-takes 3 naps a day (one long and two short)

-Happy as long as she is full and has had a nap

-Is a momma's girl

-Beginning to sit on her own but still falling over if not watched carefully

New House Pictures

Back Yard

New house

Here are some pictures of our new house before the floods have hit--we'll see what it looks like after in a couple of days.....

We've Moved!

So this month has been a little crazy! We had Easter and went to my Grandparents, then we had a weekend to packed and then we MOVED! We have moved to a considerably smaller house and needless to say there is stuff everywhere and the basement is full! We are going to begin an addition in middle May so I can't ever use the upstairs (where most of the storage is). It is a pretty small house right now but we are going to add 2 bedrooms, two baths and a laundry room/pantry and a carport of some sort....all in 4 months and while we are living here!!! Needless to say we might be in Hopkinsville alot because I'm not sure how many naps Parker is going to be able to get while all the hammering is going on.

I haven't taken any pictures of the new house yet but I will soon and post them. I have also taken Parker's 6 month pictures and need to post her stats but I haven't downloaded from my camera yet. So I will just leave you with this one picture and it sums up what Parker thinks about eating her baby food :)

Cousins

Parker (held by Coco) meeting her cousin, Julian (held by Aunt Suzanne)


Great-Grandad and Jane with Parker

With Grandma Coco

Stewart's cousin and her little boy Julian came into town to visit so the whole family (or at least as many that could) got together at Cheesecake Factory to see her. They live in New York and don't come to the south very often. This is the first trip down here since Parker was born and these are some pictures from lunch. Julian is a little over a year and Parker is 6 1/2 months so they don't really do a whole lot of playing yet but one day soon they will!
