Here is her 18 week pic....and her 9 month pic is soon to follow! (although it may be tomorrow). Hey, that rhymes. :)
Anyway, my little crawling girl. She is as fast as lightening!
Here is the photo for week 17. I know I already did one for this week, but somehow my habit of posting pictures on Sundays has messed me up...and I was one week behind! This is technically the 17th week of 2009, so here we go.
Eden playing in the mirror!
Wake up, kids, run, weights, errands, groceries, pick up, clean, practice, cook, feed, bathe, make lunches, clean, laundry, shower, bed. Rinse and Repeat. Man, I'm tired.
I give Parker so much grief. It's just that he's SUCH a mess, always into everything and it seems like he is always plotting what he will do next. He is the kid who stands outside the dugout heckling Jacob's team. He's 2 years old! Well, almost 3, but still! He is the kid who will whip it out anywhere and everywhere and start peeing before we even realize his pants are down. He is the one who will talk to anyone, about anything. He has such a big personality, just like Jacob, but they are so very different.
This weekend he gave up his paci. Yep, he finally did it! I know I blogged about it a long time ago, but he/we got back into the habit. The 'only bedtime' paci started making it's appearance more and more frequently. We got tired of always searching for the one paci, so I bought more. A couple times. Before I knew it, he had like 10 paci's again. But Thursday night we called it quits.
It was actually a HORRIBLE night, with him up for a 3 hour period screaming crying in the night. The following day, in my zombie like state, and just when I was contemplating defeat, I noticed that his ear was running. I knew exactly what it was, because before he had tubes this always used to happen. Then it allll started making sense. The screaming crying, the constant waking.....and all along he was telling me he wanted his paci so I assumed that's what it was. Coincidentally though, his ear drum had ruptured. I found this out the next day when I took him to the doctor, but I knew the minute I saw his ear. I felt so terrible for getting frustrated with him the night before! The pressure before it ruptured must have been insane.
Anyway, it's all said and done now because we have been without a paci for 3 nights now and he is on a round of antibiotics for his ears. All is calm again in the Devenny household and I am so proud of my little (big) man. Doesn't he look so grown up in this picture?
Also, just for laughs, here is a short video of him doing the 'Stanky Legg'. The Stanky Leg is a VERY stupid dance to a song that is out right now, but Parker loves it! LOL.
Well, we are in the 15th week of 2009. Can you believe it!? I know I already posted a pic early in the week, but it was actually belated from last week. Oops! So here is the pic for this week, week 15. Playing outside in her pretty Easter dress!
Happy Easter!
Well, his first game was last night. It was so fun and brought back so many memories of when I was little and used to watch Ty's games. Especially when I went to get Parker a ring pop from the concession stand. The smell of popcorn, mixed with hot dogs, mixed with Super Bubble bubble gum...it is a very distinct smell that just says, "BASEBALL!".
They lost the game 2-0 and didn't play very well, but I guess that's because it was the first game. More than half the team has never played before (Jacob included), so they just weren't sure what to do. Example: Jacob fielded a ground ball....which was great...but then started running to the base instead of throwing it to 2nd. The kids were just so confused! It was super cute. Jacob played 2nd base and batted 2nd also. We have another game Saturday morning and I can't wait. Kids spotrs is just so much fun!!
Well here is the pic of the week. Appropriately in her stroller...because that's where she spends half her day! This picture was taken yesterday at Jacobs FIRST baseball game. (pic of that to come....)
