Happy 5 month Birthday!

I can’t believe Parker is 5 months old today! Time is flying.

This week she has been using her hands more and more and also has found a new fascination with all the animals. She loves to try to pet them and smiles a lot when she watches them.

We had a playgroup of moms and babies over here on Thursday morning. It was fun to see Parker with the other babies. Now she has a new group of friends to play with:)

On a sad note, she got her first cold this weekend. The poor girl is all congested and has a runny nose and cough. She seems to be getting over it pretty quickly, though, and it hasn’t made her any less happy:)

Here are some pictures from the week. We got to go to our friends, Sudi and Arezu’s, house on Friday night to hang out with them and our friends, April and Jeremy and their daughter Flannery (who is about to turn 1 next weekend and we have pictures posted on here of her from the day she was born) and our friend, Debbie. It was fun to see everyone and see the girls interact. The pictures are pretty self-explanatory and the videos have titles that explain them so I won’t go into detail:)
Oh, and by the way, I SWEAR the TV is never just blaring in our house. It always seems to sound really loud in the videos but we keep it quiet when it’s on. And normally we just have music playing. I think the mic on the camera is extra sensitive…
