Some days are full of smiles, giggles, and adventure, and I give myself a pat on the back for being a good mom. Then, there are days like yesterday when our simple goal is to make it until Himal gets home from work. I've had a bad cold for a couple of days and have learned that there's no such thing as a sick day for a stay-at-home mom, at least during the work week. Himal was a great help over the weekend and brought me lunch yesterday, but while "dada" is at work, Parker doesn't care that I'm sick. He still needs me to lift his heavy self up to the changing table, walk around the house holding his hands, and pull him in his wagon.
We made it through yesterday with a few smiles and I got a big kiss from Parker as I was putting him to bed, so we'll call it a successful day. Luckily, I'm starting to feel better.
We've enjoyed the nice spring weather lately but had to brave the rain for the March of Dimes walk with our Stroller Strides team. We got a kick out of our family's coordinated shirts for the event.
Time flies so quickly! Parker is almost 9 months old. Pretty soon, the little munchkin will be driving. He's been practicing with daddy.
In addition to driving, P enjoys holding our hands and kicking a ball around the house. I'm pretty sure soccer is in his future. He still isn't crawling, so maybe he's going to skip that stage like I did. He's been able to sit alone for a while but falls over frequently; I think he leans to grab things and loses his balance (as seen here while trying to grab Jules).
Then, he cries until we set him upright. I will be happy when he can stay up or get back up on his own.
Happy May! I will post soon with the 9 month picture.
