October has been a fast and fun month. We did lots of activities as you can see in all the blogs. The kids continue to grow and grow and grow. Addison is showing her little personality more and more and Parker is learning how to think things through and verbally express himself better and better. They are so sweet and such a joy to be home with everyday. I wouldn't trade this experience now with anything. I truly love staying at home so far and being with my kids each day. To get to know them and watch them as they interact, grow, and learn is amazing. I'm able to show them God's love and teach them first hand about the glory of God. I have so much more want to do with them, and each week is so fun. We go to a toy store weekly for story time still and I go to a Bible study each week as well. Even going out twice a week minimum is enough to keep us busy....it's a lot of work to get them ready in the cold and carry them out and about! We did the Pumpkin Patch, a trip to Oklahoma, flu shots, had our first snow, and skipped out on Halloween, too much effort for us when they are still too little.
A good shot of Parker. He loves staying at home and not having to get up and go, on the other hand, there are times he doesn't want to come home. As soon as we pull into the driveway, he'll say "No home mommy, no home." It sounds very sad. But, he just wants to keep playing and exploring. He can say church now, and since we go there twice a week and he gets left in the nursery to play, he requests to go to church.
Parker rides his tricycle in the house sometimes, on this day, he wanted Addisy (what Parker calls her) to ride with him. He let her have to front seat, and he rode in the bucket in the back. She of course had smiles of fun doing what Parker does.
Parker took this photo of Daddy, he's learning to become a photographer...he's getting really good and aiming and shooting I think! Daddy's head isn't all the way cut off, and it's not a picture of half a leg or a thumb!
So, Daddy and Addy playing on the floor....they played so much they could take no more!
Parker saw his swimming floaties in the closet, guess I didn't hide them well enough. Well, the pool's are all empty for the winter, besides the fact that even if they were open, it is way too cold to go swimming. Parker talked daddy into blowing up his floaties, and I was talked into letting him take a bath with them! At one point, the arm floaties, the beach ball, and this floatie were in the tub. I guess this is what you do for fun in the long winter in Minnesota, and it hasn't even really started!
Addison is so ready for teeth...if only they would pop out! Some how, the two of them were in these spots, and I check on them and she has a Taquito in her hand! I don't know if Parker gave it to her or if she took it, I wouldn't doubt either....and she is just sucking away on it. Now I grind up whatever we cook for dinner for her, she loves it, and has become a baby food snob.
Look! I'm eating a biter biscuit, man I wish those teeth would come!
We were eating dinner at the table....Micheal and I were paying attention to Addison, we turned back around to look at Parker, and he had fallen asleep with his head propped on the wall behind him! He was so tired. Parker gave up his nap a few weeks ago, fighting me more than it's worth to take a nap. Usually he makes it through the day until bedtime unless we get in the car between 4 and 6 pm...and then he'll fall asleep...
A sleeping angel. She become very attached to this bear...which is hers...but Parker remembers it being around before Addison was born, so he thinks it's his. You should her scream at him if he takes it, or if she sees it and can't get to it. She definitely gets his attention!
Parker and Addison were sleeping together in my bed. They had the whole california king size bed to spread out, and here they lay, entwined with one another....bear included!
Addison learned how to use her car walker all by herself to walk across the living room!!!! She can stand alone for a few seconds at a time as well. Can she crawl? NO! Does she have teeth? NO! but I bet in a month she'll be walking pretty much all by herself!
