Worst Blogger Award

Let's just say I have taken a blogging hiatus. I have been extremely busy, and just haven't had time to blog. I am going to try my best to start blogging at least once a week for the boys. I love blogging, and I think it is such a fun way to document the happenings of our crazy house! I'm not even going to attempt to play catch up. I'm going to start fresh, and do my very best to make time for it! I know I will be glad that I did one day, and I hope Aidan and Parker will enjoy it too! Here goes nothing!

Half a Year Old!!!

Happy 1/2 birthday to my little P-Man, Park, Parkie! Poor baby you probably won't know your name because I have about a thousand different nicknames for you! Once again I'm posting this a little late! OOPS! Please forgive me. You and your brother are a lot of work! You are doing a lot of the same things that you were doing at 5 months, but you are really sitting alone well now! If I leave the room and you notice you start crying, most of the time you are to busy playing. You also love to pull hair. You absolutely love your jumper, and you are passing toys from one hand to the other. Oh, and I almost forgot you cut your first tooth this month! At your six month check up you weighed 22.8 pounds and were 28.5 inches long. What a big boy you are. You are growing so fast, and I love you more than life! You are such a sweet little boy, and I'm honored to be your mommy! You have a smile that could light up a room, and you are so much fun! I cherish every minute I have with you. Would you please stop growing up!
Love,
Mommy

5 Months

All I can say to the fact that I am just now posting Parker's 5 month post is better late than never! I have just been extremely busy, and haven't had a lot of time to blog. Here are some of the things you are doing at 5 months.
*rolling over both ways
*sitting with support
*eating baby food
*jabbering all of the time (I think you are going to be my talker. I have no idea where you could get that.) Ha!
*weight 21.5 pounds and 29 inches long. You are a big boy!!!
You are such a happy baby, and I love you so much!

First Foods

Parker tried his first food this past week. I started with rice cereal and he hated it. He was actually gagging a little! So I decided to move onto sweet potatoes, and he loved them! I waited a little longer to give him food than I did Aidan. I would've liked to have waited until six months, but he started getting hungrier in between feedings faster than usual so I thought it was time. Almost five months is not so bad. The doctor told us we could start at four, but I just wanted to wait as long as possible! Obviously, by his size he was getting everything he needed without any food! Ha! He is a BIG boy! I try not to be so rigid and by the book with Parker. I believe that if you just watch your baby they will let you know what they need, and he was definitely ready for food. He scarfed it down! At his four month checkup he weighed 19 pounds 4 ounces, and was 25.5 inches long. That is above 95% in weight and 78% in height! James and I always laugh and say he'll probably end up being the smallest kid in his class! I went to the grocery store tonight and stocked up on some more baby food! I think next on the menu is green beans. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because Aidan hated them as a baby. The funny thing is he loves them now! Can't wait to see how it goes! I just love being a mom! Who knew I would ever be excited over green beans!

Poor thing. His neck was way to big for the bib!


Time to clean up! I think he looks like James when he smiles! So cute!

Kid's Day Out

James and I decided to put Aidan into a preschool program three days a week at St. Paul in Muskogee. We thought it would be great for him to be around other children for the social interaction. I have to tell you I was very, very nervous! I almost backed out several times! So I put my big girl pants on, and decided to take him. I'm so glad I did! When we dropped him off he didn't shed a tear. He had the best time, and when I picked him up he wasn't ready to leave! I have to admit it did hurt my feelings a little! Honestly, I was so thankful that he adjusted so well! I much rather him be happy when I leave than clinging to me! That would make it so much harder! My little boy is growing up!

On our way! He was so excited!


You can see it didn't take him long to start playing!

A Photographer I Am Not!

Here is my attempt to get some pictures of the boys together! Let's just say it is not easy trying to photograph a two year old and a 4 month old! It kind of goes like this, me saying "Aidan sit still," hold onto Parker so that Aidan doesn't knock him out of chair, make sure they are both looking at the camera, oh and did I mention take the picture! Who cares if they smile. I'm just happy if they are both in the picture, and aren't injured when we are finished! Kudos to photographers! I think their job could be as hard as being a teacher, and I don't say that about many professions!
