Update

Parker has started to shuffle himself around the house. He is getting quite fast at it now. It is fun to see him inching around now. Janalee doesn't quite know what to think about him being mobile yet. He has started getting into her toys, haha.


Well Janalee has finally went pee pee into the potty!!!!!!! For the longest time she would hold it for hours and then when she was outside she would pee or if she was going to take a bath she would climb into the tub and pee. She didn't like to pee on the floor, which was good for me. Last night I told her it was time to go to bed and then she suddenly had the urge to use the potty. She pottied once and then said she had to go again. So we ended up staying up an hour past her bedtime waiting for her to use to potty again. Finally she did pee a second time woo hoo!!! I was so excited. I thought this was going to be a break through here and she would start using the potty once and a while. She had other plans. This morning she wouldn't take her diaper off for a few hours and then she held it until she was playing outside and went in the grass. Then when I told her it was time for a nap, she suddenly wanted to use the potty. I think I am being bested by a 2 year old. She is so smart that she is use the potty against me, hahaha. Who says a 2 year old can't play mind game!!!
She is so funny! It is a good thing she is so cute, she makes it all worth while in the end!!!!!

Parker is almost crawling

Looks like we got another crazy active kid here. The last two days he has been getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. I can't believe he is doing that already. He is almost 5 months. At this rate he might be crawling by Thanksgiving. Craziness!!! Janalee is really starting to play with him more and he loves that. He thinks she is the funniest thing ever and is laughing at her all the time. I'm sure with him crawling, she is going to enjoy playing with him more and more. It is so cute when your kids play together!!!
He is starting a little cold though so he isn't happy that I was making a video of him instead of holding him. He is still just so cute even when he is crying!!!

Parker's blessing

We blessed Parker a few weeks ago, but I never got to take pictures with him in his blessing outfit because while we were at church he had to poop on them. Crazy kid. So anyway, I finally remembered one day after church when Shaun was with us that we needed to pretend that today was his blessing day and take pictures.



We were trying to take this one ourselves, can you tell. haha

Halloween

We had so much fun this halloween! Janalee loved walking around and getting candy. She was even saying trick-or-treat (well more like wrik-or-reet, but people got it). She is still saying "wrik-or-reet" to people trying to get some candy out of them. Janalee was cinderella, her favorite princess (snow white is a close second). Parker was a rooster. He didn't stay in his costume for long because it was so hot here. I went as a nurse and shaun a doctor- I know we are lame people. I did wear my nurses cap and made shaun wear one of those mirrors on his head (well cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil attached to one of janalee's headbands-haha). It was a lot of fun with janalee this year!!!





P.S. On the way home from our ward halloween party, we just get out of the parking lot and I turn around and Janalee's mouth is glowing!!! Yep folks, she ate a glow stick that was passed out that night. Don't worry though, she is still alive and crazy as ever :)
