Schools out...

Now that I am on a part time schedule, not only is the house getting clean but I can catch up on all these pictures as well! And we finally bought a baby monitor. It was hard to justify spending another $200+ on a monitor when Parker's bedroom is just feet away from our living spaces. But right now I am updating his pictures while enjoying the beautiful weather on our back porch.

Enjoying his bike ride-thanks Grandpa Redman for the trailer! Actually he typically falls asleep on our rides. So glad I do such things to keep him entertained!

Walking through the forest preserve.

Playing in the jumpy. He loves to be upright and watching everyone, so this is one of his favorite places to be. We still have to put a pillow underneath so he can reach the ground and actually "jump".

My first Mother's Day gift from Parker - beautiful flowers and a half day at the spa! It was quite relaxing and enjoyable. 

"I'm planning on taking over the world! Mwah-haha!"

This sitting is such hard work!

Enjoying the sun!

Sitting in the shopping cart.

Enjoying a fresh banana.

At five months old (weighing 17 pounds!) Parker is able to sit up by himself for at least half a minute. Then he reaches for something and loses his balance!
