4 Months

Parker turned 4 months old on Thursday! He's changed so much, especially in the last couple weeks. About a week ago he realized that he could talk ("ay, ya, ya, ya, wa, wa, ya, ya") & he pretty much does that non-stop now. He's started drooling alot, I assumed maybe he'd be teething soon but at his 4 month check-up, the Dr. said that although most people think the same thing, he's actually starting to salivate because he's getting ready to be able to eat & digest food. So the Dr. instructed us to start giving him the baby rice cereal mixed with formula, from a spoon. We did that tonight for the first time, that was funny, he didn't know what it was so he just pushed it all back out with his tounge. We'll just keep trying.

Funny story, today we were out to lunch & he had a blowout (only the 2nd one ever), one that went up his back. Because that doesn't ever happen, I never carry a change of clothes with me, so he had to hang out with no shirt on, just pants at the restaurant. Everyone kept looking at us, I'm sure someone out there thought, what kind of parents don't put clothes on their kid! I tried to cover him up with his lovie (that was all I had in his diaper bag & I thought a diaper taped around his chest would be more obvious). Luckily it was oddly warm in Atlanta today so it didn't seem to bother him at all, besides he'd probably be happy being completely "nakey" (as we call it).

Anyways, enough about poop, here are the 4 Month pics of him & the giant giraffe, along with one cute extra!
