Scott left town this afternoon for the 2nd weekend in a row, so it's just Parker and me until Tuesday night. He definitely is the hottest date ever though!!! I grew up with a single mom and now a days, I have the upmost highest respect for all the single moms in the world!!! I don't have a clue how they do it!! Just trying to get myself ready before he wakes up in the morning is nuts (I'm up at 4:30am), then he wakes, feed and dress him, off to the sitter's, work all day, pick him up, come home and entertain him, feed the dogs, bath time, feed him, down for bed, wash bottles, feed MYSELF, pick up the house, and then finally crash for the night....all to wake up and do it again!!!! EXHAUSTING!!!! Have I mentioned yet I don't know how they do it???!!!! Those are some amazing women out there, because I wouldn't last more than a few days for sure!
Parker and I got to meet up with an old friend from high school this afternoon. It was one of those friendships that even though we've spoken, e-mailed, etc every now and then...we haven't seen in each in about 11 years! CRAZY!!! As soon as we got together, it was like nothing had changed! We laughed, talked about old times, where people were now and what they were doing....you name it! It was so good getting back in touch with her and am so excited that she even lives in McKinney!!! We promised to have MANY more get togethers!

7 months old!!!!
I honestly can't believe I just wrote that, but it's true....Parker is 7 months old!!! WOW time has flown by! I'm soooo glad that he has outgrown certain things, but miss some of the little baby things too!!! He constantly amazes us and we are having such a blast with him at this stage! Parker just laughs and laughs, talks nonstop (lots of da, ma, ra, ba, etc), and his favorite lately is a very high-pitched screech! That's fun for all and he really thinks it's hilarious (especially in public)!!! He's not crawling just yet, but I don't think it will be long. Honestly, I think he might just skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to running!!! He's quite the busy little man and would MUCH rather be standing than sitting!
As he was squirming around the floor the other night, he found Charlie's (our male yellow lab) tail! He had the grandest time with it....Charlie, however, not so much! Charlie took it for a little bit, but then was over it. He got some good video of it too! It was hilarious! Then there's our female lab, Delta. She is in LOVE with Parker! Each morning we tell Delta, "Let's go get the baby." She immediately runs upstairs, sits and waits outside his bedroom door until we let her in, then jumps up on the side of his crib and stares in. It's the cutest thing ever!! Once we lift him out, we have to bend over and let Delta give a little kiss to Parker. She stays at our feet while we change him and get him ready! If he's in his swing and we tell her to "go check on your baby," she will run over and give him a few kisses....sometimes a few too many! He thinks it's hilarious and just watches both dogs constantly!!!
Again, like I always promise....I'll post pictures ASAP. Our computer is from the 1920's it feels like sometimes, so it doesn't really cooperate! He's so much fun to show off and quite the "lady's man," so I can't wait to post pictures!!!

4th of July
Parker celebrated his first 4th of July! We did a whole lotta notta and it was great!!! We did a little swimming...a LITTLE napping...some cleaning...and that might be about it! My mom came over Sunday afternoon and we (Scott) cooked dinner and hung out. It was great to see her because she had been out of town all week in Missouri working on her PhD school work stuff. I sure did miss her! We did get to watch NYC's fireworks on TV which were incredible! Then of course around 9:30pm the fireworks in our neighborhood started going off and let me tell you...the dogs are NOT fans of fireworks!!
This 4th tooth of Parker's is quite the killer for all of us! The first 3 teeth came in so quick that he hardly had any time at all to be fussy! This one is taking it's sweet time and making my little man miserable! We've tried anything and everything from teething tablets, Motrin, Tylenol, our own fingers for him to chew on, teething rings...you name it! He absolutely HATES anything cold, so frozen teething rings or washcloths aren't an option. Poor little buddy! I think it's about to break the skin literally any second, so hopefully it will SOONER rather than later!!!
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and stayed safe! I promise to learn how to post pictures soon! I've tried and it hasn't worked yet, but at least I'm working on it! HA HA!

new to this!
So this is my very first blogging experience and it's been quite interesting so far to say the least! Apparently you have to have a little bit of creativity and I did not inherit ANY of that! I decided to create this blog so that our friends and family could keep up with us!
Parker is 6 1/2 months old already and is completely amazing!!! Scott and I are having a blast with him! The greatest thing so far is that he thinks I'm hilarious! I can do anything and he just laughs and laughs at me! He is sitting up on his own, reaching for anything and everything, and then of course if and when he gets his hands on something, it goes straight to his mouth! He's got 3 teeth all on the bottom and I'm thinking the 4th is about to come through soon (on the bottom too). The dogs (Delta and Charlie) absolutely LOVE him....well...Delta loves him and Charlie pretty much ignores him! If you tell Delta, "Go check on the baby," she immediately goes to find him! It's super cute! I've started to take his hand and let him pet them as I tell him "easy." He pretty much immediately grabs a handful of hair....so much for "easy!" He's sitting up on his own and scooting and rolling ALL over the place! Scott took his eyes off of him for a few minutes one day and he was literally hanging from the fireplace tools that were completely across the room!
I'll stop blabbing for now and try to keep figuring out this whole blogging thing!!! Until next time....
