As year two comes to an end....

I wonder how we are here already?! Two? Friday was two years since Parker's due date, yet it barely seems like a year ago.

Parker is such a little man now. He's a talking fool, picking up new words nearly everyday. Be careful what you say around him, he's likely to repeat immediately ;)

Although his first tooth didn't pop until 18 months, he's quickly caught up and now has a mouthful of teeth. In fact, his first dentist appointment is just weeks away (and I'm a little scared how it will, not gonna lie!).

Sadly, the week of his birthday brings us his first "surgery". Parker will be getting tubes on Monday, here's hoping this helps fight off the ear infections he's been prone to.

His favorite game these days is hiding - under a blanket, makeshift fort or in a tent. You name it, he'll find a place to hide!

Thankfully, my little guy gave mom some much needed and appreciated cuddle time today. Halfway through his nap he woke up on tears, so I gladly took the opportunity to rock and cuddle him back to sleep for another hour. I know my days are numbered for these chances, so I'll take what I can get!

Check back soon for more about his birthday celebration next weekend!

Meeting of the minds (paws) possibly?

Parker's got a secret...

I could pretend this is the reason I haven't blogged for over 4 months...yikes! Has it been that long?

It's true what they say (whoever they are) - being pregnant with a toddler is tough stuff! Not only is he a ball of non-stop energy, but add in total exhaustion and morning sickness that lasts all day, and you have one pooped mommy. Good thing daddy is in tip top shape. Scott has been an absolute blessing, covering all jobs I'm lacking in these days.

My only hope is now that we're coming out of the first trimester, life will get somewhat back to normal for this mom. One can hope, right?

So there you have it, our big news for 2013! We hope the new year will bring you just as much fun and excitement!!
