Lana Marie F. Parker

Lana is a very happy baby who loves to babble and join in on the conversation. She said her first word "dada" at 3 months old. At 4 months old, she started saying "hi". At 8 months old, she now says "mama," "mommy," and "daddy". At 2 months old, she loved to make eye contact with people and hold it and give them the biggest gummy smile. She doesn't shy away. She is a very determined baby too. She started rolling at 3 months, crawling at 6 months, and standing at 8 months.

Her most favorite activity is being held by mommy and daddy! She also loves to talk and have a conversation with you. She babbles all the time! She also loves to sing along when we sing to her. She'll say "oooooooo" and hold that vowel and tone in an attempt to sing along. She loves to play with her toys and chew on her teething toys. She also loves when we play Hey Bear Sensory on you tube. She loves watching the dancing fruit and wiggles and dances along.

The money would be a huge impact on our family. My husband was in paramedic school during my pregnancy. So he could only work per diem. After I had to go back to work (I'm an RN), he continued to work per diem to take care of Lana Marie when I worked. He starts his full time job as a Paramedic in September. The money would help us pay for Lana Marie's grammer school, child care, and jumpstart her college tuition.
