Parker was a champ with his cereal. Now he has been eating bananas, apples, peaches, green beans, peas, and sweet potatoes. I don't like this 4 day rule because I want to just give him something new everyday... and I feel like it takes forever!

This is the day after Parker's 6 month appt. Of course it was discouraging (again) and the doc said you needed to gain weight. It has been a constant struggle and it seemed like there was always a hurdle to be jumping through while breasfeeding. So Z and I made an executive decision to wean you and put you on formula. It was almost like God knew that this decision would be best all along, but I kept fightin it and trying to do what I thought was best and he gave me the grace to do it for 6 months. I'm thankful for the stretch that we had and now as we transition I'll trust that God is your chemist who will give you all the nutrition you need. (PS-- why does formula have such a bad connotation??? It's not poison. And through the much tough decision, which really I weighed for about a month, the doctor has the nerve today to say "oh poor baby" when I tell her that I've moved Parker to formula. Really, lady??? That's not the best response when I have already gone through the guilt process....) ok- obviously I have some feelings about this situation and I better move on before I emotionally vomit even more...

I just LOVE this video and I am so GLAD we captured it!!! I love his laugh!!! And usually it's Zach who gets all the giggles from P, but last night I learned a new trick:) He loves the splash!!! And actually as I watched this video again and again it made me think... enjoy. pause. don't rush. It seems like every night were running from here to there or something is going on so we rush through bathing...feeding...etc. So, what if I didn't give Parker time to splash last night? What if we're always in rush mode?? Then we'd MISS OUT!!! Oh Lord, s-l-o-w u-s d-o-w-n! I want to enjoy every part of you Parker and I don't want to miss a thing!!!
