14 and 15 Months

So obviously I have gotten a little lazy over summer about blogging so I will recap the last couple of months.  We have been busy celebrating birthdays, holidays, being outdoors and unfortunately being sick. 

  The end of June, Parker managed to get 3 ear infections in a matter of 3 weeks so it was time to get tubes.  I was a little anxious but they took him back at 7am and he was in my arms by 7:05 and we were snuggled on the couch by 7:30.  It was the easiest and best decision for him.  He has felt so much better and is starting to show off his crazy, fun personality even more.

  I know I have mentioned that he likes to dance but now I think he LOVES to dance.  Sometimes he doesn't even need music for it.  I have to say he is starting to perfect his "white boy" moves. 

Other things he is up to:

• Loves to have books read to him
• Loves bath time still
• Loves outdoors no matter the temperature (it has been a HOT summer)
• Loves to tickle your feet
• Loves to play with his bat and ball
• Can point to belly and nose
• Can sign "more" at the table when he wants more food
• Finally will blow kisses
• Gives high-fives

Yes there is a cardboard box in my floor, that has been there for a week,

 but if your active son played with it for hours you would still have it on your

floor too!

Baseball Boy

There has been a lot of baseball watching in our household this summer and Parker loves it!  We have watched so much that he is starting to throw his baseball and swing his bat and we haven't even taught him how.  If Parker is tired and fussy, he will sit in our laps to watch it on TV and that is huge for him to sit still for any length of time.  I see many ballparks in our future. 

 

Hat Obsession

Our little boy is obsessed with hats!  Whenever he sees one, it must go on his head.  It doesn't even matter if he already has one on, he will put two on his head.  He loves bringing them to us and bending his head down so we can put it on him.

I'm sure there are more pics but I think I proved my point!  I just hope he doesn't go bald before kindergarten!

Breaking.it.Down

 Here is a video of Parker breaking it down to the music playing at a restaurant.  He was having a great time regardless if anyone else was.  My little boy is growing up way too fast!

Fort Night

Parker and his daddy built a fort the other night and Parker thought it was the coolest.  They had a blast running through it and hiding under it.  It was fun to hear all the giggles coming out of it.  I'm sure it is just the start to many nights of our living room transforming into magical places.

We have also learned how to high-five!

Our Good Girl

Parker,
   Our sweet chocolate lab; Hershe (aka Good Girl) started to have chronic renal failure and we had to make the choice to put her down the end of April.  We battled the decision for a couple of weeks since she wasn't in pain but God gave us the peace to know it was right because she had started to quit eating.  She was a great, tender hearted dog that would lick you as long as you would let her.  She was your daddy's best friend for over 10 years and had been the best companion through some hard and good times for him. 
   You weren't sure about her.  She really fascinated you but you didn't want her too close. Hershe loved you.  When you were an infant and would cry, she hated it and wanted us to fix it quickly.  She loved your daddy even more and he was her best buddy, her master.  We will miss her because she really was a Good Girl!
