BOYS!

What a mess my boys are. I mean really they are both out of control. I have a strong feeling Nicko is the worst BY FAR! He lets Parker play on beds in stores!? Who would do that? Nicko! Here are some funny pictures of Parker on fake beds with fake carrots. He was pretty upset the food wasn't real. LOL!

Commands.

Parker has gotten so good at following commands. Another reason why babies are very similar to dogs. I can tell him to clap his hands and he will. Even without me showing him how. I will make a list of all the things he can do by being told.

1. Clap his hands.
2. Shake his toys
3. Roll his balls
4. Jump

Well, it isn't a horribly long list, but I am still impressed. He is so smart! I am working on videos he is camera shy. Only for video cameras though.

Aunts.

While on vacation in Pittsburgh, Parker has his first ever trip to a water park. My little water baby thought this to be a great idea, until nap time set in. What do you do with a sleeping baby at a water park, why, you take turns sleeping in lounge chairs with him. After all, by the time you made it home nap time would be over. Parker just so happens to have the best aunt ever, and she slept in the chair with him, so mom and dad could ride slides. :)

Eyes.

It appears that Parker is going to have GREEN eyes!!!! I don't see how, since all the prediction charts say that isn't possible, but alas my sweet little boy has green eyes with a tiny bit of brown in the middle. What a doll he is going to be.

This is the only one that even gave it a 10% chance. CRAZY! I have a picture of his green eyes but it isn't uploaded and my four hours of sleep isn't going to make it through uploading pictures. Sorry guys!

Sleep.

Last night was somewhat better, not that it could have got worse. He woke up twice which isn't bad considering he usually wakes up once to eat around five. That is also the time the motrin wore off. I discovered that he is getting his 8th tooth and it is his right canine. Do I tell you right or left from my POV or do I go by Parker's? If you have the answer let me know. That is from my POV. I am sure those sharp pointy suckers hurt like the dickens. So, I am trying to be supportive no matter how many tantrums he throws or times he bites me. I will be there to tell him how delightful he is. :) After all, what is a mom for if she is the only one that can lie to you and believe it to be the truth. He ate yogurt this morning and if that goes well, then it is back to cow's milk formula we go. Not that it matters it costs the same so no biggie. Just more "normal". I hear it is better for them, but I don't know how or why. Here are some pictures of Parker sleeping, it is that rare that we photograph it as a great moment.

Naked Babies.

Parker is going through this thing that he won't lay still for a diaper change, or a clothes change, well let's just say he won't lay still, or be still ever. This is obviously a problem that probably will never get fixed. By the time, I get control he will be out of diapers. I should probably teach him anyways after that point, just so he knows how difficult it was. Or, how difficult it is for me to wake up every two hours at night for no reason but to rock him back to sleep. :O Needless to say I am exhausted and anxiously waiting nap time today. Back to the story. Parker has decided that he never has to wear clothes/ diaper. This is only a problem when he goes to peeing on the floor. Oddly enough he never throws a fit if he has to get dressed like we actually get to leave the house.

Boiled Peanuts

Yesterday, we went out to Sandhill to see my daddy for Father's Day. Nicko and my dad really like each other. Kind of weird to look at, but whatever works for them. Parker, of course, had a great time. After all, my daddy does have dogs. LOL. On our way back to the city we stopped and got some boiled peanuts. For those who don't know what this is. They are green peanuts boiled in water and salt. They are DE lightful. Nicko had this banter of "hick food" "gross" "redneck person" all the way to the stand. (actually a man's truck, but who cares). I start eating them in the car, because they are best hot and served with a cold Coca Cola. :) I mean that honestly, of course I think Coke goes with everything, but even Nicko agreed. If you are eating boiled peanuts, drink a coke. Nicko LOVED them. He ate more than I did. :O. I was so proud of him. It was his very first father's day, and he loves boiled peanuts. :). Also, never eat the ones out of a can. If you can't have them fresh, because you live in the North, then wait until you come see me in the months of May-November. :) A man after my own heart. After we got home we just relaxed and played with Parker. I think Nicko actually picked on of his "piles" up. Such a messy boy. Then we watched movies and hung out. I guess that is what he wanted? He never spoke up so...oh well.

DELICIOUS!!!













Parker gave Paw Paw a hard time can ya tell?? I mean who would have thought that Parker wouldn't have sat still??
