And once he saw he had an audience, he started showing off for his sissies! He was laughing
and clapping his hands for them!
The day he turned nine months, his first tooth popped through, and then another one appeared about 2 weeks later, for a total of two teeth on the bottom: 
Parker went for his nine month well check on the 17th, and his stats are:Weight: 22 lb. 1 oz. (75%)
Height: 30.5 inches (off the charts!)
Height: 30.5 inches (off the charts!)
Although he is growing well, he has lost total interest in his baby food, and he has trouble with cheerios, fruit puffs, etc. (He gags on them!) We think he is having some texture issues, so his Doctor is referring him to a speech therapist. His first appointment is on May 8th. In the meantime we are to offer him a wide variety of foods/textures. So I thought offering him a little Crazy Bread wouldn't hurt!
Dr. Feld also thought that Parker's upper body needed strengthening, so he is going to be evaluated for physical therapy. This one surprised us especially since Parker has been crawling and pulling up on everything for well over a month. He is speed crawling now
and also started doing this recently: 
We LOVE Dr. Feld and trust that he is doing what is best for Parker. We want his upper body good and strong so he can follow in his Daddy's footsteps and play football one day! :)Parker is becoming very curious and is getting into everything! He likes to help me with my chores, especially the dishwasher (which is constantly being used!) 
Most of all he loves to hug and he is especially attached to his Maddy Faith who just loves him to pieces! 
Most of all he loves to hug and he is especially attached to his Maddy Faith who just loves him to pieces! He has such a great personality and we are loving every minute of him. What a blessing you are, Parker Buddy!

He is just the most handsome little prince ever!! I see a mix of Maddy and Jonathan in him in that first picture!
LOVE that the pediatrician is catching/addressing these things so early on so that you will have it resolved and move forward! Such a blessing! I'm so thankful that you and Jonathan are such wonderful, attentive parents that will get him all the help that is out there for him and we will pray for all of you! I know that the therapies will give help him in so many different ways, I wish that every child would be able to see specialists because they really do amazing things.
That picture of he and Maddy is sweet, the look on his face is priceless, he's so smitten with her, LOVE it!!
Parker is so stinkin' cute! I love his bald head!!! Hope everything turns out to be fine and it sounds like you have a great doctor!
