Parker's New Trick

Parker's learned a trick. He likes to pucker his lips together and make funny noises with his spit bubbles.

On the Move...(well sort of)

Parker isn't crawling just yet. It seems like we barely put him down and he's on the belly kicking those legs, and swinging those arms.



As we all know...he is a *very* active baby so Chris and I know it's only a matter of time before we will be chasing him up and down our hallway.

I start my new job on Monday. I know it's President's Day, but the school I am working for wanted to give me plenty of time for training since I'll need a couple of days off for our trip to DFW. I am excited, but also nervous about my new venture. My best friend Melissa also mentioned that I should start an online column about my experiences as a working/traveling mom. I am in the process of getting that started and will let everyone know when and what website to check out soon!

For now I am off to get Sweet P from daycare. He had a Valentine's party today I am excited to see all the pictures he painted for Mommy and Dadda!

Happy Valentine's Month

Parker hopes the picture below makes your hearts melt:)



I snapped a few pictures of him this afternoon when we got home from daycare. He was being a big boy sitting up chatting with his stuffed doggy. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to the camera before their conversation was finished.
Once he noticed the camera it was over. This was the only one that didn't have this little hand reaching for the camera. Our baby must reach, touch, and or grab everything in sight. And he isn't camera shy either!

Chris and I cannot believe he'll be 6 months in a few weeks. We got to DFW to meet with the Specialist who did his surgery in a couple of weeks, we should get some idea as to how much longer he'll be in the helmet. He is doing great, and his head is shaping nicely. I realize just how blessed we are everyday.

Monkey Business

Parker is finally starting to feel a little better after having a cold and an ear infection, so he decided to figure out what his jumperoo can do.

Daycare & Work

Yes, it's true. Our little cutie pie started daycare last week. I thought the transition would be more difficult than it has been. He loves it and is doing great! We are so proud of him.


Mommy & Parker after his first day.

Monkey's daycare center is *very* small. There are only six babies in his class and two teachers. So we feel confident that he gets a lot of attention during the day. We've been told he is very interested in the older babies in class. There is one baby who is 7 months and crawling. Parker wants so badly to crawl just like his little buddy. I know that day will come all too quickly. They don't stay babies for long:(

While Parker is at daycare I am in full job search mode. Last week I had two interviews with The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I have never wanted a job so badly. I am comfortable with the position (event planning) and feel the hours would be a great fit for our little family. They have narrowed their search down to me and another candidate and still haven't made their decision. Please keep your fingers crossed!
