Collin's Storybook Parade

Today Collin's preschool had their annual "Stroll Down Storybook Lane Parade". During this event, each class chooses one of their favorite books and the children make props or dress up like characters from the book and parade in front of all the parents. This year Collin's class chose the book Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann. This book is about a little girl named Pinkalicious who loves pink, especially pink cupcakes. Her parents warn her not to eat too many pink cupcakes, but she does and turns pink. Miss Carly and Miss Mary had all of the boys wear red and girls wear pink and they all paraded around carrying pink cupcakes they made. They all looked adorable! Collin even got to be the lineleader for the event, which he was beyond thrilled about. Afterwards all of the kids and parents headed back to the classroom for some real Pinkalicious pink cupcakes. What a fun day!

We Have A Crawler

It's official........Parker is now crawling! He is moving all over the house and is happy as can be with his new found independence. He crawls all over the playroom, getting out every toy he owns, and carries it to the tile floor to see what kind of noise it makes when dropped. He has also crawled over to Collin's toys several times which makes big brother a little nervous. We constantly catch Collin looking for Parker to see if he needs to guard his prized possessions. Boy is our life about to change, but we could not be happier that he has finally reached this milestone.

Parker Is 10 Months Old

Parker is now ten months old. Where has the time gone? Although he is still not officially crawling, he does like to get on all fours and crawl backwards. He also loves to roll all over the floor and uses rolling as his main mode of movement. He is still pulling up on everything he possibly can. He loves to pull up on the train table and play with the trains on it. He also loves to sneak over to Collin's table when he is not looking and try to play with all his matchbox cars. Collin is not a fan of this and Parker has already learned he has to be sneaky about it! He also loves going outside and following Collin in the little red car Santa brought him and swinging in the baby swing beside his big brother. Parker got two more teeth this month, bringing the count up to five.

Parker is also LOVING his finger foods. His favorites are yogurt melts,cheese puffs, diced fresh peaches, diced pears, diced apples, and graham crackers. He still enjoys his baby food, especially sweet potatoes seasoned with cinnamon and any type of fruit.

In terms of sleeping, Parker is doing great! He is sleeping 11 hours every night and takes two naps a day that are two hours each. We are blessed in this area!

It is hard to believe in 2 months we will be planning his first birthday party! Time goes by so fast when you are having fun!
