appetite...or lack thereof

Parker used to be a big eater. In fact, he'd eat so fast and with so much enthusiasm that we joked he'd one day be a star on the competitive eating circut. These days, not so much. We'll maybe get a few bites of applesauce and bananas, a nibble of bread, and an absolute rejection of anything that resembles chicken. He's doing fine, though....I'm resolved not to be a mom who freaks out over every little thing. If he's hungry, he'll eat.

We took this video the other night....it's fun to hear him start talking more and more. (notice a couple of things....he now also refuses to sit in a booster, wear a bib, or have his sleeves down while eating...funny.)

winter

It's definitely fireplace weather....brrr!

Just in case I don't get another chance to say it before the day...Merry Christmas everyone!

A recap of the crazy effort to get one good Halloween costume picture...

future electrician? carpenter?

We train them early to help with renovation projects at our house...

just loungin'

My mom embroidered this adorable "Brobee" sweatshirt for Park. Classic. Who doesn't love a little bit of "yo gabba gabba" to brighten their day?

just some pictures

Such cute pictures...I couldn't choose the best one (note the most recent head bump...)
