10 Months!

WOW, can it be true???? Parker is 10 months old today!!!! Where has the time gone? My little baby is almost 1 year old and that makes me so sad. I have so enjoyed him as a baby and really wish he could stay that way.

He has had a busy month! We went to the beach, many pool visits, trips to the lake and to watch his big bother play soccer! He is standing up by himself and cruising big time. He will be walking soon. He has 4 teeth coming in on top and 2 already in on the bottom. He is still a great eater and sleeps like and angel. He is babbling all the time and has the cutest, biggest grin! He is happy 90% of the time and just a fun baby!!!

We cannot wait to see what the next month has in store for our little boy! We love you Parker and thank God everyday you are in our lives!!!

Mini Vacation

This past weekend we packed up the troops and headed to Wrightsville Beach for the weekend! Josh had a conference there so we all tagged along. It was a very family friendly event and a great way to spend the weekend!!!

Parker really liked the beach until he ate the sand and then it was over! He still loves to play in the pool and of course snack time at the pool is fun too! Landon LOVES all water and has turned into a pretty good swimmer this year. I am so impressed with his skills this year. It is a new found freedom...nice for him and us! He liked the beach as well but the pool is still the favorite.

We will return to the beach in September for our "real" vacation when Landon and I track out. We are going with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew!! Should be lots of fun!!!!

Just because...

Kindergarten update!

Landon officially finished up his first week on kindergarten this past Fri, July 23rd! He LOVED it! He was excited every morning about going, especially about riding the bus to and from. He earned marbles everyday, thus was able to get a prize from the prize box on Friday. We are very proud of him and how great he has done thus far!!!

9 months!

Parker is officially 9 months old! He is a busy little boy for sure! He is crawling at record speed, pulling up, cruising, pushing anything that will move across the floor and talking up a storm! He was 20lbs 12oz at his check up and was given a great report!

Parker is such a laid back little boy and such an easy baby! We have enjoyed him so much and cannot wait to see what is next for our little guy!!!

Here are some of his official 9 month shots....

Cuteness!!!

This is what you get when you play dress up with your older brother and father!!

Kindergarten here we come!!!!

Landon had his first day of kindergarten yesterday, the 13th of July! He was a little nervous but he LOVED it!!!!

Up until the day before, he had not been that excited and really did not want to talk much about it which made me pretty nervous. We have met 2 boys that are in his class to play and I think that helped with the butterflies. He was SUPER excited when he got up yesterday and could not wait to get there. Once we entered the building he got pretty quiet, but he walked into his class and did not look back. Because he did so well, there were no tears shed by me!!!

Landon goes back this Friday and will be everyday after that!
