Parker is 11 months! Yay!

11 months! She's such a happy baby. She loves to say Hi, wave, point, give 'high fives' and gets really excited and moves her arms and legs up and down. She's blowing kisses a bit and trying to stand on her own but really hasn't taken any steps by her self without holding onto the table, chair or a piece of furniture. She's pretty stubborn (as I'm sure most kid's are at this age - right?). My parents have seen her in action when we try and skype and the only thing Parker wants to do is play on the computer. She get's so mad because we won't let her and screams until we shut it down!
She's been falling off things a lot - she climbs up on Bailey's chairs and then can't get down or tips over and bonks her head. She's had some major bumps on her head!
Hardly any hair and only her 2 bottom teeth are in. Although I think her top ones are coming soon - and I'm sure she'll get all 4 or something at the same time. Maybe that's why she hasn't been sleeping since she was 9 months. Between being sick and teeth who knows.
Parker has had a rough time these past few weeks with having a bad cold and double ear infection. This started when Dave was in Monterey, CA all week for a 'work' conference (or boys club if you ask me)... ;)
Parker is in full swing of mommy stage. and cry's if anyone picks her up or if someone she doesn't really know or does know talks to her or gets close to her she freaks out and cry's.
We are going to a concert this weekend and getting a baby sitter for Saturday night (Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp at Edgefield's) and I'm hoping Parker will at least not cry the entire time! About 4 weeks ago one of our friends folks watched the kid's but I had to come back and put Parker down as she had been crying most of the hour and half we had been gone.
We'll see - wish us luck!

So fun to have you over tonight! And I'm super envious of you attending Dylan and Mellencamp tomorrow evening. Will be a great show - have fun!
