and germs

and toys

and food

catch up

so i need to take some time

and talk about all the new things

our little man is doing.

i know the point of this blog is to help me post pictures

for memories

but also as a digital scrap book/baby book,

if you will.

i mean, how cool would it have been if my mom

had a blog when i was little.

getting to see the day to day pictures

and stories of me growing up.

i love looking at old photo albums and home videos

(that make me barf bc my dad can't hold still)

and maybe parker won't love them as much as i do

because he's a boy

but i'm hoping he will.

if not, then it's for me to look back on.

it's already crazy looking at old pics of him and how much he's changed.

so our little p-nut is 11 months.

and will be ONE in a mere 12 DAYS.

and become a toddler.

seriously!?

i'm just going to say it,

the time has just flown by.

i swear it feels like something just clicked over the weekend

and he now understands like

EVERYTHING we say to him

and follows commands like it's his full time job.

he says:

bye bye

ma ma

da da

bath

i swear he says 'ya' when i ask him questions

tries to say light (and looks up at the ceiling)

he does SO BIG with only his right arm and touches his hair for some reason

gives whatever you tell him pat pat (his bottle, daddy's head, the kitties)

gives high fives (very gently)

grabs his whole face when you ask where his nose and eyes are.

pulls up on everything,

and is getting better at sitting down after pulling up and not just letting go

with his eyes closed and bracing for impact

still pretty far from walking and has zero balance on his own.

army crawls faster than any soldier i've ever seen.

and my fave:

he not only gives slobbery open mouthed kisses like his dad

he does it on his own now, not just on command.

and my heart melts alittle bit every time.

i'm sure there's lots more cool stuff he does that i'm forgetting

so i'm just pretty sure he's a genius.

but if he's not i'll love him anyway,

it'll just be easier if he's really smart and makes us millions of dollars.

totally kidding.

he has completely turned our world upside down.

and we wouldn't want it any other way.

right, D?

old: dr apt, wedding, 'eatyou' face

a collaboration of old pics:

9 month dr visit

 

 

an old highschool friend got married.

i have beautiful friends. 

this is park's

'i'm going to eat the camera' face.

in his adorable blue polo

that brings out his eyes.

minus the tornado that apparently struck our livingroom

and his creepy blurred right hand.

pure randomness.

the lake

some friends and us went to d's

father's lakehouse.

boys did some fishing.

girls did some chatting.

sweet p did some stroller riding.

and had a snack while naked

i had to take like 50 ga-zillion photos

since it never happens.

i suppose he'll live on oxygen

and cantaloupe.
