Parker, Parkski, Parky...my sweet little baby turned 5 months old. we started solids this month, including sweet potato, butternut squash, and rice cereal. it didn't exactly go too well, but i will leave that detail out, we will more slowly ease into it now. he is also sitting up a lot better with less support. he's touching and grabbing toys, dinner plates, hair, you name it. he was not interested in touching anything prior to this. he's rolling onto his sides, but not interested in rolling over from his back to his front, and just gets too pissed when on his tummy to roll over onto his back, oh well. bedtime these days is around 8-8:30pm, let's hope it stays this way because i am loving it! preston's going to bed early too, so we have a nice quiet house for a few waking hours each night. finally, after 4.5 years, we  can sleep like normal people, thanks to accelerated pre-k.

Here are some pictures of Parker at 5 months. he's such a sweet boy, he laughs and smiles easily, sometimes, he can be quite loud and talkative too. just screeching and yelling at this brother during dinner time. it is such a joy watching him grow bigger and cuter every day.
