Crazy Baby

We have been very busy traveling about lately so I haven't been good about updating the blog. I don't really feel like covering everything we have done, so let's suffice it to say we spent a week at my parent's and a week at Alicia's parents. We got home on the 1st and my sister, Stacy, came on the 2nd for the 4th of July weekend. It was busy, but fun.

Okay, now on to what you really care about: Parker!
She has been so funny lately. Suddenly in the past month, she has become a real person. She loves to point at things that are interesting to her. In the last few days the pointing means that she would like to go see the interesting thing or person. She has also started saying, "Whoa!" when something happens. It's hilarious! She has also developed a serious obsession with the outdoors. She loves her slide.

She still has very little interest in crawling, but LOVES to walk. Her m.o. for getting where she wants to is to scoot/slide to the nearest person, stand up and have them walk her to the object. She has actually started walking us to the door then reaching for the doorknob. This is how we ended up outside on the 4th of July.

(So, the pictures loaded out of the order I wanted them in. Sidebar: Parker can't get enough swinging. She will swing forever. She actually cries when we take her out. I don't like that part.)

Parker walked her Aunt Stacy to the door and reached for the doorknob. Stacy told her that it was raining and they could only go on the porch. Parker was so insistent on going out further that Stacy took her out so that she could feel the rain. Parker started giggling like a mad baby. Then, I remembered that we had this raincoat and hat, so we dressed her up and out she went. She thought this was the best fun. She walked up and down the driveway for a long time. I think she liked the sound of the rain on the hat!

We leave for vacation on Friday so I don't know that I will get another entry in before then. Happy Summer to all!
