Parker's Fall Clothes

I FINALLY finished Parker's clothes for fall! 

 WAAAAR EAGLE!

 This one was free!!! (left over fabric)

CAN'T wait for October! Have I mentioned that I love fall?!?

6 Months Old

Half a year old! I can't believe we are here big boy!!! You are such a perfect little angel! You are such a chill baby-content pretty much wherever you land...Oh how lucky I feel! Those first two months really made me worry!!! You are doing this (pic below) with your tongue A LOT!!! You just can't get used to those two bottom teeth. =)

You talk to me pretty much the whole time you are awake. You are very good at mimicking me and the sounds I make. When I say 'heeey' you say it right back.

You are completely and utterly amazed with your hands!

Seriously, you will just sit there and stare for 15-20 minutes at a time.

you are 21 pounds 10 oz and 28 inches long!!!

you are still wearing size 3 diapers

still napping 3 times a day (around 9, 1 & 4:30) each nap lasts no more than an hour

still not taking a paci (which is totally fine with me after reading back about your sister and how many times a night I used to have to go 'fetch' her paci for her to quit her crying...

you eat 32 oz a day, 8 oz 4 times a day (8, 11, 3 & 7) PLUS oatmeal and veggies at 3 (which you LOVE by the way!!!)

go to bed at 7 every night with no crying =)

sleep until 7 or 8 depending on the day!!!!!

and you are quite close to sitting up...kinda...sometimes =)

Parker, I cannot put into words how much I love you! You bring me so much happiness, joy and peace. Just watching you reminds me of God's love. You are such a precious gift and I am desperately trying to soak in each and every moment that I have with you at this age. You are just such a blessing. Hearing you laugh brings me so much joy!

Blakely, Daddy and Zizi love you too-SOOO much! HAPPY HALF A YEAR OLD Mr. Man!

Fun Times

I am really lacking in the creativity department when it comes to my blog titles I know, but I'm tired and doing good to get these 'fun times' recorded =)

Daddy's new job is in an office in the Galleria, SO we went to go for a visit on Friday! Blakely was super excited when she saw him. Even though I told her a hundred times that we were going to see him, she was surprised to turn around and find him there. 

 She got to ride the carousel for the first time and LOVED it! Dad rode with her the first time & I went with her after that.

 Leave it to her to find a horse with 'pink' on it...

Today was Audrey's #3 birthday party! Of course our ever so cautious Blakely wouldn't dare get in this awesome bouncy castle herself...

 but once she was in-she LOVED it!

 Coloring was her favorite part =)

 and swinging was his!

oh so serious...

There's a smile!

  LOVE YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL BOY!!!

"go fly a kite"

I made the mistake of telling Blakely we were going to fly a kite last Saturday at the park. And guess what? Saturday ended up being not such a great day for kite flying... I have heard more times than I wish to count since then: "momma, go fly a kite!!!" Today we were still too sick to go to school but not sick enough to let good wind go to waste! So here she is flying her fairy kite!

 We have a huge turtle that we got to fly out here as well (I just didn't get any pictures of it)

 It amazes me how yucky I feel from this same illness and look at her:

Meeting Grandpa and other stuff...

Friday: Popsicles and fun outside!

 Saturday: Parker got to meet his Great-Grandpa!!

They were best buddies for our entire visit. Parker kept waving to Grandpa and then Grandpa would wave right back. Parker would smile and Grandpa smiled right back. I haven't seen either people so happy in my life! You can see in this pic Parker holding his hand out to touch him-this made my heart smile! I am so happy that he finally got to meet him!!!

 Blakely got a cupcake...We told her that she could have a cupcake if she cooperated while seeing Grandpa and Mema-Just before we got it out for her she said "I'm SO excited". It's the smallest things that bring the most joy-like seeing your 2 year old SO happy! =)

 and seeing your almost 6 month old SOOO happy!

 Sunday lunch after church at Which wich...This place btw is AMAZING!

and then the fun ended...
Tuesday: after 3.5 hours waiting at the Dr. we have a verdict-strep throat... =(

and guess what? Mommy got it too...
