parkers new tricks...

I just had to blog about the many funny things my boy has been doing. He amazes us everyday with all of the new things he comes up with. This weekend we started putting our Halloween and Fall decorations up. We had these fake eyeballs that are, to say the least, disgusting! They are sticky and gooey. So, Ryan grabbed the eyeball and covered his hand over his eye saying "oh my eye, my eye" and then put his hand down showing the eye ball. So then Parker did it, at first I thought he was really upset, then he started grinning and laughing so hard! I guess I have a little actor on my hands. Now he runs around the house saying "oh my eye, my eye" Hopefully he only does it at home and not at nursery on sunday! What do you think, should I warn them? Naw...that wouldnt be any fun! :)

Also he started playing hide and seek. We were all sitting on the couch and he covered his eyes saying, "3, 4, 5, here I come." We have no idea where he got this from! I asked my grandma because we have been spending a lot of time at her house while I was recovering and she said she didnt teach him that. I can't believe how smart these little guys are! Parker learns so much everyday and he actually retains the information. The kid has a mind of steel, we better be careful! Well, I just had to brag about my smart little cookie!

would you like any cheese with that whine?

I had my gall bladder taken out last Monday. They said it would take about a week to recover. Now I'm at a week and a half and I am still struggling. I just want to be able to pick Parker up ( I still do every once in a while, and then it seems like I have yet another set back. I never learn!) I wish I were "normal" and was up and going this week. I guess my body is trying to take care of a baby as its first priority and so whatever is left over is going to my recovery. It makes sense, but it is still so frustrating to not be able to take care of my family the way I would like to. Thank you for all of the love and prayers, we appreciate all of our wonderful family and friends!

On a less whiny note, we will find out the sex of our baby the 20th of October. We are so excited and whatever we have we will welcome to our family with open arms. Parker has been telling us its a girl baby so we will see if he is right. He seems to know that I am having a baby. He points to my belly and says "hi baby in there!" and kisses my belly. Not sure if he really understands it or not, but either way it's so cute! You can bet I will announce to you all as soon as we find out!

I'm going to give this another try...

I tried this blogging thing once and it didnt work out so well. I forgot all my passwords and usernames. (I am now learning from my mistakes and writing them down!) SO, my favorite family and friends, please be patient with me while I figure this out! I have loved reading all of your blogs and hope mine will be just as exciting for you as yours have been for me.
