Reading and Smiling

Crazy Tongue!

Tonight, Tim and I were trying on some of Parker's winter clothes. We put his vest on him and he started licking it a bunch. It was too funny, so we took a video of it really quick. Enjoy!

St. Genivieve

Today we drove down about an hour and a half south of us to go watch our neighbor Cari sing in her band. They had a gig in this small town America town named St. Genivieve, and were performing at a charity event to raise money for this fire fighter's family who died of a brain aneurysm back in may. We drove down with Cari's husband Jason, and our other neighbors the Caseys.

Parker and Stacey. Stacey is my really good friend, who also happens to watch Parker while I am at work. Parker is very attached to "his" Stacey.

I love this picture of Parker and Stacey. He was smiling and cooing at her. He is really making some cute little noises and talking to us a bunch these days.

He needed his afternoon nap. What a cutie!

Yikes...the thumb is out!

So, as of a few days ago, Parker has figured out how to do what every hygienist prays and hopes their kid never does....he is sucking his thumb. NO!!!! I always try to pull his thumb out of his mouth, but he just smiles at me and puts it back in that little stinker! I wish I could get him to take a pacifier, but he just flat out refuses. He has also figured out how to arch his back to try to escape when he doesn't want to be somewhere.

Crown Molding

Tim and our neighbor Mark put up crown molding on our kitchen cabinets today. It looks great! Parker and I hung out while the guys worked.

Both my boys get mesmerized by the tv.

Here are some pictures of the finished product.

Timmy putting on the finishing touches. He was so proud of his work!

Bear Down Arizona!

Saturday, we went down to our neighbors house to watch the Arizona football game versus Iowa. Jason and Cari, our neighbors, both went to grad school at Iowa, so there was a friendly rivalry going on there.

Growing like a weed

My little man is growing like a weed! Tim and I are having so much fun watching him discover new things all the time. He is doing much better on tummy time, lifting his head really well, and is really loving his ExerSaucer. He has also started watching Baby Einstein movies and gets completely mesmerized by them. (See above picture) We have also discovered that Parker likes to poop in his Bumbo. We have both been the victims of big messes, Tim especially. I was gone, but apparently, he pooped so much that it came out of the diaper and got all over the seat of the Bumbo, but Tim couldn't get Parker out of it, so that made more of a mess, and then of course Parker was screaming his head off. I actually wish I could have been here to have witnessed all of that chaos going on.

I think Parker looks just like Tim when he yawns in this picture.

Talking and playing.
