Thanksgiving play

Last week was the Thanksgiving play at Parker's school. This was the first time that he was in a play all dressed up as an Indian. He didn't want to stay up on stage with everyone once he saw Daddy and me. So I had to go up front and sit by him while Daddy recorded the play.

Parker only wanted to sit on the bottom step which was closer to me.

Our Sweet Caleb

Caleb is sitting up so well now and he is able to sit in the highchairs at restaurants. So here we are our favorite Mexican place last night. At 5-1/2 months old Caleb is now sleeping through the night. He has slept the last 4 nights in a row, I wondered if it was Grandma's magic of being here and in the same room. But he did it again last night. We are thrilled to have him sleep through the night. Although I really don't mind getting up with him once a night, since he is our last baby. Hello Daddy, what are you doing with the camera.

What on earth was that taste. We gave him a lemon to try last night. He didn't like it, but loved the sweet tea, water, rice and refried beans. Yes, he is starting to eat food. He doesn't care too much for baby food and neither did Parker. Good thing that I make all his baby food and that we don't buy it.

Fun at the Park

It feels so great outside and what a great way to enjoy the outdoors at the park feeding the ducks at Star Lake.
My Mom came in town for the last 5 days to help us take care of the boys while I did two vendor shows this past week. We had a lot of fun with her and the boys really enjoyed spending time with her. Here is Parker feeding the swans and the swan took a nip at his hand because it wanted the bread. They were not afraid to come up to us and neither was Parker.

Here is Parker asking the swans what their names are.

The geese were even very friendly and wanted the food so bad.

I love this picture of Parker getting his face right in front of the goose.

Parker being silly with pulling the bread back and forth.

Hayride

Here are the pictures from our Hayride the weekend of Halloween. We went with some college friends and their 2 children. It was a fun outing as a family.
The redness on Parker's nose was from playing between the chairs at my OBGYN office that day. He ended going down flat on his face and boy did he wail. He ended up being okay and my doctor called me on Saturday morning to see if he was okay. Then his office called me on Monday morning to check on us and to make sure Parker was fine. That was so sweet of them to be that concerned with Parker. My OBGYN team is awesome and I have been so blessed to have them for my 2 pregnancies.

Moss Rock Festival

Today for our family date, we went to the Moss Rock Festival. We parked at Regions Park and had a school bus take us to the festival. This was Parker's first time to ride the bus and he was excited. He told Daddy that he wanted to sit in the way back. Daddy was starting to get car sick by the time we got there.

Caleb had fun hanging out with us. We even sat down for awhile and had sweet tea and cookies. Caleb started to pull up grass for the first time. Too cute.

Caleb is 5 months old

Our sweet little Caleb is 5 months old today. Hard to believe that 5 months ago today I was in the hospital holding this little guy and so blessed with having another boy.
Caleb is now sitting up with support and playing with toys. The toys all go into his mouth, no teeth yet but tons of drool. His smiles and laughs just melt your heart and you can't help but smile back at him. He also enjoys watching whatever Parker is doing. We have also starting to read books to him and he enjoys looking at the pictures and listening to us.

This is a good picture to see how well he smiles at us.

Halloween with the Boys

This weekend we had a fun time celebrating Fall and Halloween. On Friday night our city of Hoover had a hayride, trick and treating and free dinner at one of the parks. We had fun meeting up with one of our college couple friends and their 2 children. We were able to do everything that night before the big rain storm came in.
Then on Saturday we went to a Fall Festival at a church nearby and got more candy, snowcones, funnel cake (I haven't had one of these in years and it was soooo good) and Parker was able to play on blow up toys.
On Saturday night we went out as a family to go trick and treating for about 40 minutes. Caleb was getting fussy and tired of being out there. He didn't like it when the stroller had to stop. So I took him back with me to the house, so we could pass out candy to the tons of children coming around. It was so much fun to see all of the children dressed up. Parker and Daddy had a lot of fun going around the neighborhood in his Gator. They got tons of candy and make back to the house for a water break and to empty their candy buckets.
