Parker is a 10 month old wild boy! If he's not sleeping, or smiling and laughing, he's screaming and crying (usually the latter). There is no in between with him these days of teething. He's been teething really bad, but has two bottom teeth to show for all that misery. He's also got two on top that are just about in! I hope all his teeth come fast, he's been miserable, and almost driving me crazy some days!
Even though he's had a rough time with teething lately, he loves going places. If he's in the car, he's so happy. He's in a toddler car seat now, forward facing along with Skylee.
Parker doesn't seem to be interested in crawling yet. I think he'd be a happier if he could follow me around and get to things he wants, but right now screaming will eventually pay off for him just the same.
He has always had a deep, wet cough since he was born and I finally took him in to have it checked out. They took a chest x-ray and only found he had RSV (a common virus that infants and young children get with cold like symptoms). He was put on a nebulizer (sp?) for about a week and a half of treatments, and steroids as well. That really seemed to help.
Parker also protests eating solid foods, STILL! He'll snack on some, but won't eat a full meal. That means he's still waking up at least 3 times a night to drink a bottle. We're work'n on it!
He's got a few little tricks that he likes to show off, they make us laugh every time. My two favorites are his fake laugh, and shaking his head like a crazy man. He has such a great relationship with Skylee, they really love each other a lot.
As many challenges as this little boy seems to have right now, he is such a happy part of our little family. It's crazy to think that he'll be a year old in a matter of a couple months! There's nothing better than easing his pain/discomfort by just picking him up and holding him, he's a mama's boy :) I love this little man!
