The one where Parker learns to roll onto his tummy

So, one day Parker was crying in his room during naptime....I went to check on him.  This is what I found:

Why?! Why must I be on my tummy?!

Such a happy, handsome baby!

 Just before we left for California, Parker learned to roll from his back to his tummy.  Problem: he didn't know how to roll back onto his back, (actually, he just forgot since he did it his entire 2nd month of life) and didn't like being on his tummy.  So much for all that tummy time.




 

Good morning!

Thank goodness it only took about a week for Parker to realize he could roll back onto his back.  It was getting old flipping him back over after he rolled to his belly while 'napping'.

This photo is what we now wake up to.  Happy Parker, ok with being on his tummy.  (No comment on the pink Halo. It was on sale....but real men do wear pink)

Easter

Ok - this is totally late.  But, I thought the photos were cute so here you go. 

Parker's first Easter was a quiet one.  He was only 5 months, after all.  But, the Easter Bunny didn't forget him.  Parker got some neat toys that we saved for our plane ride to Southern California.  Moms and Pops got some neat candy, too.  We'll see if Parker ever gets candy for Easter since Brandon says Parker can't have any sugar - ever.






 
Grandma Hignite sent Parker a gift too.  Parker tried to eat it.  Guess he thought it was candy.  

Curiousity will kill this cat if we don't get to her first

Our cat has had a little trouble adjusting to Parker.  We had Tera 9 months before Parker arrived.  She got used to me hanging with her while I had morning sickness.  She had all my attention every day.  Now, she's lucky if we notice her laying at the top of the stairs before we step on her.  Poor Kitty.  She is paying us back.  Tera likes to meow very loudly in the mornings, almost always waking Parker.  Tera can distinguish the bowls we use to heat up Parker's bottles.  She knows there is water in them and jumps on the counter to drink from them.  (She also likes drinking out of the toilet.  Guess the filtered water in the nifty kitty dish isn't good enough for her.) Tera loves sleeping in Parker's room.  She is not allowed, and since we kick her out, Tera has found we don't see her if she runs under the bed or crib.  She is driving us nuts!

Recently I found Tera in a few predicaments. 
First - Tera was trying to eat my turkey tetrazzini. 

No, Kitty! This is MY Turkey Tetrazzini!

Second, she snuck behind the closed blinds.

Can you see me?

Third, I found her sleeping with her face in the blanket. (WHY??!!!) 

This is just to confuse my owners.

Fourth - I learned I am not large enough to stop Tera from sneaking in the cabinet while I am standing there making Parker a bottle.  (we keep the formula in there)  Didn't even feel her walk/jump by me.  Doesn't mean I didn't close the door on her when I realized she was in there.... (meow? meow?)

She is stealthy

Fifth - The Cat was watching Ellen for a full 30 minutes.  I'm not kidding you.  The Cat was watching Ellen.  She didn't move from this position even when I called her name. 

I need to learn to dance....

No judging me on the Ellen thing.  I wanted to see someone she was interviewing (don't even remember now who it was).
