15 Months

You would think that I would blog more during the summer since I am on break...but we just have too much fun during the day and at night I am wore out or trying to get my classroom ready! School starts next week!!

Our little boy changes so much these days it's hard to keep up! One thing hasn't changed though...he is still the same size! It's hard to believe that he's only gained 3 pounds since January...especially after he eats and he walks around with the biggest pot belly you've ever seen! He's been 30 inches since January too...short like his daddy :)

He has added a few words recently...he finally said wawa (water) in addition to boom (broom), up, down, and nana (banana). He says bye kitty when we leave the playroom which is upstairs. He loves saying hi whenever he sees someone new or someone pass by but he hasn't quite gotten the hang of saying bye before someone leaves. As soon as they're gone, he says bye and gives a big wave!

He still loves carrying around brooms, mops,  or Swiffers. He loves dancing! Most of the time when he hears music he starts to sway, sometimes clapping or 'snapping'. He loves bending over standing on his head and laying on the dog & cat. He picks up the cat sometimes...she is very patient with him. I didn't declaw Lucy but she has never scratched him! She purrs almost the whole time he bugs her...even when he's sitting on her she is still purring.

 

 He makes the best faces when he's eating...and here is his first selfie!

 

total goon face!

 

 playing in the creek at Hummel Park

his first dentist visit!

 

 He got a sticker and...

a plastic chicken that he is obsessed with.

 

 He has turned into a total climber! 

 anytime we eat turns into fun time!

he loves helping daddy

snuggling with me and Lucy

 

two of his favorite things...stand on his head and read

See that raggedy ole bear? It was Clint's when he was a boy and of course Parker loves it.

 

 love this kid!

He likes to try on my headbands...for about two seconds.

He is always trying to cuddle the pets!

 

I love these two pics!

naughty boy climbed on the table to get some Wheat Thins

We had fun at the Zoo with Amy...he is such a boss.

If you made it to the end, congrats! I should blog more often so I don't have so many pics and videos to upload at once!

Cuddle Bugs!

Don't let this picture deceive you! They may be cuddling here but they still aren't good friends. Lucy will let me put her near Zoe if Zoe is being still. This picture was taken in the middle of about a 10 minute stand still. They are all getting a little better around each other every day but we still have a ways to go!

Wounds

We have been trying to introduce the dog and kitties more and more lately. It gets better every time but they are still having some issues. The dog is over excited to play with them and she keeps trying to poke them to death with her nose and then the cats hiss and growl and finally proceed to try to scratch her. They usually end up scratching me instead.

The other day I was holding Max and he didn't realize that Zoe was right behind him and she licked his butt a couple times before he realized it! Tonight Zoe was able to sniff Lucy for several seconds! Progress people!

Jumping Kitties!

Max and Lucy's favorite toy is the mouse on a stick (the mouse is attached to a string). They love to chase it all over and the both are good jumpers. Lucy is the more aggressive kitten and she also is the better jumper. She can seriously jump about 2 feet high!

Hungry!

(you might want to turn it up a little)

I am still feeding Max and Lucy wet kitty food once a day (in an effort to help them grow big!). When they see me bringing it up the stairs, they get a little crazy! They also like to let everyone know they have started eating!

Clint and his Buddies

Of course, Jack was Clint's original buddy, but there are 2 cuties trying their best to win him over!

Fun Pics

I have had the kitties for over a week, and of course they are already trouble! They sure like to chew on anything. They also like to wakl all over the keyboard of both the laptop and computer! And boy are they noisy!

Max & Lucy

So after debating for several days, I finally decided on Maxy and Lucy for the kitties' names. I don't have any idea how I came up with these names either! I had several cute paired names picked out but they just didn't seem to fit. And Max and Lucy just kept sticking in my head! So, that's their names!
