Parker 8 Months

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Parker is 8-months old and crawling all over the place. He loves to explore and has also started to pull himself up; this has just started in the last few days. Parker loves to go for the Christmas Tree and has made it under a few times before I have caught him. He races for the tree whenever he gets a chance and has only beat me there twice. Parker has 7 teeth--4 on the top and 3 on the bottom. He loves to use them on mom's shoulder and toys, but thankfully not while eating. He also loves to give kisses, which I love receiving. He also coos as he gives the kiss, which is extra sweet. He is 20 lbs and 27 .5 inches. We have tried the sippy cup and some crackers but no luck yet, he is still learning how to handle those. We are excited to spend our first Christmas with Parker. He loves paper and so I know he will love opening gifts and probably love playing with the paper more than the gift. We think he makes a great Santa, minus the beard of course.

Thanksgiving

Sunday, December 14, 2008

I know, Thanksgiving has been over for a few weeks and I am really behind. My excuse--I got sick...Really I did. Since I was only sick for a few days, I thought about using the Dog ate my computer for the rest of the time. Anyway, I am back to blogging.

We had a great Thanksgiving, with an okay turkey (not bad for our first time cooking). We had Becca and her family with us to celebrate as well as Brooks' oldest brother, Pratt. We had a lot of fun and tons of food. We also spent some time that weekend with Brooks' brother, Brent, and his family. We even went with them to the infamous light parade in Kaysville. Not bad, although they could of been a bit more creative on the selection of candy...you can only eat so many peppermint candy canes. Enjoy the pictures from our Thanksgiving festivities.
