Little Fishies



Beginning of Summer 2011


It will be a fun summer filled with many of these photos.


It really makes for a day filled with alot of happiness.






Our first attempt at a group photo!

Second attempt...oh well - these are priceless. It tells the whole story in one snapshot.




Aqua Man...Parker is truly a little fish. He LOVES swimming. He is already kicking and alittle bit of a "doggie paddle". He also loves to float on his back in the pool.


Noah loved the pool this time. The first time he was just not sure about it. His smile says it all!



Daddy, Parker and the Lion.




Princess Seashell is swimming on her own this year. Yea Stevie Dee.

Parker you adore your little lamb. She brings you comfort and happiness through out your day.

(we ordered 2 more this June - just in case we have a"oopps" where is ba-ba moments)

13 Months...Tell All

Noah and Parker you two are incredible. It's amazing all the things you are doing today. Its a long list - so here we go:

*Both of you are walking, its your first choice. Crawling is for babies. You still fall but you are walking 90% of the time.
*If Daddy or I ask you to hold our hand and walk - you do. It's sooo cute.
*Noah you have mastered crawling up on ottomans and bench seats and Parker you are almost there.
*You wave bye-bye, clap alot ( Parker you do it - to show your level of happiness) and almost blow kisses. You give Daddy "high 5".
*If we ask you boys to sit - you will - sometimes you stand back up but it has been a big help that you will do as we ask now.
*One of your favorite times is to watch the bunnies in the back yard. You both say "Bunny".
*Open and close drawers without pinching your fingers all the time.
*Parker you have totally found your "security" item. Its a sweet white lamb. You call her "Ba". In fact, you use the word "Ba" for almost everything.
* You 2 both started pointing at things this week. Awesome.
* We take walks and I teach you about trees. I hand you both a leaf from the tree and you both just light up. We are so thrilled you love nature so much.
*We took you to the lakehouse a few weekends ago and you loved the tractor. Grandmama took you all over the property and you still wanted to keep going and going....
*Drink whole milk - about 18 to 20 oz a day.
*You both enjoy watching Elmo's World video and Baby Einstein. We do this about 30 minutes before bedtime. It really helps you relax.
*8 teeth.
*You are into learning body parts. Ears, eyes, nose, mouth and belly button are the favorites.
*Noah you have become a funny, silly little man. You love to laugh and make us laugh. You adore playing hide and seek. You give "grab you around the neck" hugs. A new nickname is "Frankenstein".
*Parker you have this super way of savoring a moment. You don't just dive into it - you look, touch then dive. You are very giving. You offer things of yours to others. We call you "Sunshine".

Your Daddy and I are both so proud of you. You bring us so much joy. We just love you more and more everyday. You make us smile a 100 times a day. You are such good little boys. Thank you, my loves.
