What Parker's Lovin...

Here is what my little man is loving this week!!

He is lovin...this cooler weather and being strapped into his jogging stroller and enjoying long walks with mommy!!

 

He is lovin...this VTech Walker.  He takes this thing and walks behind it back and forth through the family room.  He loves it.  He also stays entertained with all the buttons/gadgets too!

He is lovin...this Fisher Price Farm that his Nana and Grandpa sent him.  There are so many different activities on here and when we show him where to put things he is starting to follow our lead and do it himself.  Opening the door and crawling in and out seems to be his favorite! 

He is lovin...The Bubble Guppies.  He really does not stay too focused on tv...but while we are playing I always like to have it on for sound or have on of his CD's playing.  When Bubble Guppies theme song comes on, he stops, faces the tv and gets the biggest smile on his face.  He loves it!  I have been recording the episodes and it really is a cute show!!

Well I am off to enjoy all my little mans loves with him!

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

We live in a...

daycare that has been completely covered in primary colors.

 his basket of toys which is usually dumped everywhere

within a few minutes of him playing...is still in tact in this picture!

I always thought I would be the one to keep all the toys hidden away unless it was play time.  I am not.  He loves them and plays non stop, so I leave them out.  But now our family room has turned into an official daycare.  And while at times it drives me crazy constantly having "stuff" everywhere.  I would not trade it for the world! 

The living room is still toy free..so I escape in there every so often with a good book and relax!

Big Time!

I just LOVE how proud he is of himself!!

Next project...so excited

So I may or may not be scared to death to stay at home alone.  We live in a wonderful neighborhood and have an alarm system, but when the hubby travels I do not tend to sleep!

So last night while I sat up trying to figure out exactly how I was going to take down any bad guys and get Parker, myself and the dog out of the house safely.  I decided to get on Pinterest and get my mind fixed on something a little more productive.

Anyhow I went a little crazy "pinning" photo ideas for Park's one year pics last night and fell in love with this...

Well this morning P and I headed out for our walk (in 68 degree weather!).  Much to our suprise it was neighborhood garage sale day(which comes once a year) so needless to say it was a mad house.  As we swirved in and out of the crazy garage salers, I took a quick moment to look up and this is what I saw...it was calling my name!  And for $20...I had to take it.  The sweet couple held it for me so I went back this afternoon to pick it up.

I am thinking a bright baby blue...what do you think?  Or maybe a light green?  Either way I definately know that I want light green and light blue balloons with it.  So I am going to test some different paint colors this weekend!

Cannot wait to show you the final product and more than that I cannot wait to see my sweet boy in this for a few of his 1 year pics...I cannot believe his first bday is in less than 4 months!
