my sweet p

In three weeks my sweet baby boy will be two. I can't even believe how big he has gotten in the last month. I'm sure it has something to do with Olivia being so small, but I have definitely noticed that Parker is a little more grown up these days. He is giving Colin a little more competition when they wrestle. It is almost a fair fight! (yeah-I'm talking about wrestling like it's normal...unfortunately, it is in our house). Parker is definitely my talker. He repeats EVERYTHING everyone says...especially Colin. He loves to copy Colin! He is even talking in full sentences! He cracks me up all the time with funny things he says. My favorite is when he randomly runs up to me and says "love you mommy". Melts my heart! Parker can be the sweetest thing on this planet! We are learning that he has a little bit of a feisty side too-hopefully not a glimpse into the "terrible twos"!

Some of my favorite things Parker says:

-wove you nalin (colin)

-meer meer (come here)

-mommon (come on)

-how do this?

-I otay

-you go get it

-I do it

-watch Dora peeze

-nalin bad boy

-you owie? I kiss it

Parker plays so well by himself. He love to try and "fix" things with tools, take things apart and put them back together, and will sit quietly and read books. He is obsessed with Dora the Explorer, Bubble Guppies, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and loves to sing their theme songs. He gets so excited when either show is on and watches almost the whole thing in one sitting. It is pretty funny to listen to him repeating Spanish words or singing about manners!

I love my sweet boy and love seeing the person he is becoming.

crazy days

We are still working on our routine around here. Between getting to and from school, nap schedules and this HEAT, my days have been a little hectic! All I really need is a driver...and a chef...and a maid...yep, that would be perfect! We definitely have days full of crying and fighting and trouble making, but luckily there are some cute moments in between that help me remember why I love my job!

2 weeks

Miss Olivia is 2 weeks old today! I still can't believe she is here but at the same time, I can't imagine my life without her! Olivia has her 2 week check up today and is already 7 pounds 15 ounces. Her appointment went great except that she had to get a heel prick...I HATE those! It took them at least 10 minutes to get the blood they needed and she was screaming crying the whole time! Real tears! I just about killed me. Then, to top that off, both of the boys had to get flu shots. By the time we got home (with a quick stop at Dairy Queen for my brave boys) I was drained! Not to mention it was 108 today! Life with three kids is definitely exhausting but I couldn't imagine my life any different. Love these kids of mine!

Colin and Parker being so sweet with Olivia at the doctor :)
