Halloween:
Trick or Treating with Pap Pap and Nana!
B LOVES to golf. This will hopefully put him through College and be our retirement ;)
I think these two goof balls enjoyed carving the Pumpkins more than the boys did!
Charlsie, Erin and her two kids, Carolyn and Cowdery, came to visit one weekend!! We had the BEST time! Let's just say Charlsie, Erin and I ventured out to Velma's, the local Trussville bar, for some Karaoke.
Carolyn, isn't she a beauty queen!!
Sweet Sweet Cowdery!
Baker's Birthday Party: 10/23/2011
So excited about singing Happy Birthday!
We had a Curious George party at the Park down the street.
My dear friend Charlsie made the trip to celebrate B!
Pumpkin Patch! Baker LOVED picking out pumpkins and riding the Hayride!
Baby Par Par with our Pumpkins.
So sad you can't see B's face!
Here are some pictures of Parker... at his 1 month check up he weighed 10.1 oz. His 2 month check up he was 12.3. He is such an angel. God blessed me with another easy baby but I'm not going to lie those 1st 6 weeks were HARD. Now that we are on a good schedule and he doesn't have to be held all the time it's much easier. He loves his car seat and would prefer to sleep in it rather than his crib but I don't let him. The 2 times I have put him in his car seat to sleep he slept from 9-4. Otherwise, in his crib he is up every three hours still. Hopefully, he will learn to love his crib and sleep through the night. Baker loved his crib and at this age was sleeping from 6:30 to 2:30 every night. Anyway, he is such a joy and to think I thought I couldn't love another one as much as B is plain silly!
Baker offering his balls to Par Par... Par Par isn't so sure.
We found this little gem at the local Antique Mall for $8. B loves it so much he sleeps with it. Along with about 20 stuffed animals.
Thanksgiving: my Grandpa, who is 92, came to visit!
Chris and I went and had Thanksgiving lunch with B at his school!
These two adorable girls are Baker's girlfriends! When asked who his GF's are he says Maggie Grace and Mary Lee. Mary Lee is the one saying Grace, how sweet is she. Maggie Grace lives 2 doors up the street! Baker LOVES her so much. They are going to have the best time growing up together!
Reminds me of my best friend as a little girl, Jeremy Burt, who lived 2 doors down!
Baker with his hard hat his Daddy bought him. Besides sports, B loves tools!
My 2 handsome construction workers...
B had to put on this old onesie when we were going through his old clothes.
We painted our WHOLE house when we moved in so B thinks he is a professional painter now.
How funny is this, B thinks breastmilk comes from his belly button!! He said, "Feed baby Par Par milk."
In other B news, he is about 95% potty trained! He only wears pull ups to sleep in. He would prefer to Tee Tee outside rather than in the Potty. He is saying full sentences now and tells me exactly what he wants and doesn't want. His favorite foods are Fruit snacks. He has them with Breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I can get him to sit still he eats pretty good but he is so busy that he doesn't want to take time out to eat. At his 2 year checkup he weighed 29 lbs. I can never rememeber the height but he is fairly tall for his age. He loves to draw and paint still. He has such a kind soul and loves people!! He doesn't meet a stranger. He wants to kiss and hug Par Par every night before bed... he says "Love you, baby Par Par" It seriously brings tears to my eyes thinking about his big heart. Now don't get me wrong, he is all boy and will hit when he gets angry but overall he is such a sweet child.
The greatest joy of my life thus far has been watching Baker grow and develop. With each passing day my heart grows bigger and bigger and the feeling I have of just being so dad gum proud of him is overflowing! Being a mother is HARDWORK and I shed tears of fraustration often but the rewards are far greater and more than I come have ever imagined. I feel SO blessed to have Parker, since we weren't trying because I thought seriously one is enough, to get to watch him grow and to feel the joys that I feel with B all over again! Life is good!!
If I'm not back before Christmas, Happy Holidays y'all!!
