How in the world is it already the middle of July? The first part of summer flew! Parker is going to be a year in 1 month!!! Holly cow. I don't even think we are going to have a birthday party for him. I feel so bad but we have a lot going on the weekends surrounding August 17th. Maybe we will celebrate when we go to Comfort to visit my dad and Sherry on the 21st. Rylee had a HUGE bash for her 1st b-day however we only had 3 friends with kids at the time and they were all around 1 year or younger. NOW all the kids we know are older and we just did the whole bouncy house kid party a few months ago for Rylee. Hopefully he won't think he got cheated when he is older and says "why didn't you have a huge party for me when I turned 1"???
Parker is so BUSY! For instance even as I am trying to type this blog I have had to get up to stop him from getting into something 3 times and I am only on the second paragraph! Must move computer to bedroom so we are in safe zone. He tries to pull up on the chairs at the breakfast table (as I watch them start to lift off the ground about to crash on top of him), or goes to the fire place and hangs on the wire mesh net, or pulls on the curtains or tries to play with whatever it is Rylee has (which she just LOVES let me tell you) and is constantly trying to mess with Tucker. He thinks Tucker is super great but I don't think the feeling is mutual ;) I am constantly picking Parker up and moving him away from whatever he is into over and over ALL DAY LONG. God forbid I sit down. :) Maybe it is a boy thing.
Parker is dancing now when he hears music, clapping his hands and bouncing up and down. It is so cute! He also points at things, waves, says mama and dada. I think he says "sis" for Rylee "dat" when he points. He is also cruising all around and holding on with one hand only when he stands. He eats anything we give him and also likes to mash it into his tray and throw food at Tucker (which makes him crack up laughing). You would think Tucker would be Parker's BFF after all the food he gives him. When Parker runs out of food and wants more he high pitch screams at me. Maybe I should really work on the whole sign language thing with him!
Rylee has just been an angel. I feel so bad for her because she is home with Parker and I all day during the summer and she is so bored. There are so many things I wish I could take her to do but it would be next to impossible to do with JP in tow. Everyday she asks "mommy can we go somewhere"? It is sad when she gets excited about going to the gym with me or Walmart! I don't get to give as much attention to her as I want and it makes me very very sad. Hopefully it will get better once Parker starts walking.
This weekend we are going to visit my old boss Kelli and her family in Austin. I am really looking forward to it. I know the kids will have fun because they have 7 and 10 year old little girls who LOVE babies. :)
