This is what we do on a snow day

Ok, grandparents, I know you all are missing him badly, so here are some videos to get you through. This is what we did on our snow day!

We played in the tissue paper! Mom and Dad let me make a big mess!

I started saying, "Dadadadadada" and "babababa".

I figured out how to scoot across the floor like an inchworm!

8 months old!

I can't believe I have an 8 month old child! He is really getting so big! He's rolling all over the place-you really have to watch him all the time now! He's LOVING Tulip, and I think she is loving him, too. She'll lay right next to him and just let him pull her hair! He's kind of saying "mama" and sometimes you can catch a "nananana" whatever that means. He's trying desperately to crawl, so we'll see! He's got 4 teeth! He LOVES the American Idol song, "Pants on the Ground" and he absolutely loves to dance. His other favorite song we sing is, "Dance, too much booty in the pants". (My mom is out there dying because I just wrote that, but I want to be able to remember everything.) He still cries when I walk out of his vision, and today for the first time, he cried when Phillip left the room. It's funny to watch him-he'll see a toy and just roll over and get it. Oh, and he's now going from sitting up to laying on his belly-it's really cute to see him flop over on it! He's still really small, not sure of the exact weight, but he can still wear some 3-6 month stuff in the waist! He still goes to bed between 7 and 8 pm....he's still nursing in the morning and at night.....He rocks our world!!!! I know this was random, but it's 8pm on a school night, and I've used up my brain cells for the day.

Check out the hair!

My idea of the perfect weekend

Mr. Man is worn out from such a great weekend!

This weekend was as close to perfect as it can get. We started out on Friday night-it was date night! Parker went to Parents Night Out at church, and Phillip and I went to dinner! It was really nice to go on a date with my husband! And..this time, we were only 30 minutes early to pick Parker up! :)

Saturday was spent hanging out at the house. Of course groceries had to be bought, bills had to be paid, and Phillip had to study, BUT we had nowhere we HAD to be, and overall just got to be together. Plus, I made my mom's famous chicken and dressing for the first time, and it was pretty good if I do say so myself! Oh, and we went and spent some time with Truett. Parker thought he was pretty cool. He tried to grab him and really smiled for him a lot at first, and after the initial newness wore off, he played with all his toys and tried to kick him in the head. I kept telling Parker to be gentle, but he had no idea what I was saying. They are both sweet, handsome boys, and I can't wait to see them grow up together!

Finally, today was wonderful. We spent the morning at church where Pastor Patrick is ON FIRE for the Lord! He preached out of Nehemiah, and it was truly wonderful. We've really felt God's Holy presence lately, and we can't wait to see what amazing things He has in store for our church. Parker LOVES his Sunday School teachers, and they love him! When we get there, they always say, "There's our boy!" It's nice knowing he's in good hands while we're there. After church, Phillip played basketball, and Parker took a 2.5 hr, almost 3 hr. nap. We couldn't let the sunshine pass us by, so after little man woke up, he, Tulip and I headed out for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was a beautiful day!

I honestly can't think of any way I'd rather spend my weekend than with my two boys.

Before our walk-he was so happy to be outside!

His favorite new trick-he slides down in his highchair when he's through eating. If you pick him up, he will just keep sliding down.

Where's Mama?

Tonight we were reminded just how incredibly smart little babies are. I had Meredith on speakerphone and she asked me if Parker was facing me. I told her that he wasn't, and she said, "Parker, where's Mama?" As the good Lord and Phillip as my witness, I promise he turned around and looked up at me. Immediately. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Phillip was loading the dishwasher and was watching the whole thing. We turned and looked at each other with huge eyes....neither of us could believe it. It may have just been a coincidence, but we choose to believe he's a genuis. MENSA here we come.

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

My two guys are asleep in front of a football game...I'm paying bills. Who got the raw end of this deal?

The Sock Game

The objective of this game is to get his sock off as soon as possible and get it in his mouth! We play this SEVERAL times a day!

No cavities for me!

I think he likes brushing his teeth!
