Cool Dudes

Aren't they cool with their popped collars? One of Parker's weekly play dates with Palmer...

The Whole Banana

Go Char! She ate a whole banana today...may seem like a little thing but everything is a big deal to a mommy :)

Yellow River Game Ranch!

Today Lindsay & I took advantage of this lovely February weather by taking the kids to the Yellow River Game Ranch, a place my sister & I frequented as kids. Apparently all my parents can remember from taking us as kids is that they always feared for the bunny's lives - there is a bunny-only area that the kids can chase (& squeeze) the little bunnies as long as their little hearts desire. My parent's said Lindsay & I (especially I) used to chase, catch, & squeeze those bunnies until their eyes were popping out of their heads (according to my Dad). I remember especially loving the baby bunnies, I would chase them into their little safe-holes & reach in until I caught those little boogers & then I'd huuuuuggggg them. I loved baby-anything as a little girl.

Well, now (probably due to kids like us) they only have adult bunnies in that bunny cage. And those adults are fast. Parker caught up to one (who was apparently sleeping) & P got to pet him...& of course I was in there too. Charlotte was unimpressed by it all, maybe next year...

Here are some pictures of Parker & the animals.

Warm Weather Wishes

After this seemingly long winter down here in the South, we are ready for Spring!! Bring it on! But since this is February still, I'm sure the warm weather won't last forever. We'll enjoy it while its here though!

Jacqueline's Baby Shower

Last weekend was Jacqueline's baby shower for Baby Bella, due in about 3 weeks. It's always fun to get together with friends! We can't wait for baby Bella to get here!

10 Months

Char baby (one of my many nick-names) is 10 months old! And growing so fast! I didn't ever update with her 9 month stats (her appt. was just 2 weeks ago):

• Height - 28 1/2" (50-75%)
• Weight - 17lb. 11oz. (25%)
• Head - 43.5 cm. (25-50%)

Oh & we have 2 new teeth, the 2 top front teeth, so she has her top 2 & bottom 2 now. And she has definitely started packing on the lbs (or ozs) in the last couple weeks -- she's finally figuring out how to feed herself so instead of mainly pureed baby food, she's beginning to eat what Parker is eating, real food. And she's beginning to look like a little chunk!

So my next project...start planning Charlotte's 1st Birthday - could that possibly be right?!
