Living Life

Between Halloween and Wesson's birthday, there were no major events.

Just life at the Parker house. Here are a few of our moments...

Front door finally complete and adorned with pumpkins, a fall wreath, and gorgeous

twirly trees that I got for my birthday from Mama, Daddy, Ginny and Scott.

First face plant... inevitable, I know. Wesson got a little brave a little too close to a TV tray.  

Played, clapped and danced with Monkey. 

Going on 1 million miles on the School Bus. By far his first favorite toy. 

Fell asleep eating a PB&J after a long day at school. 

No, we didn't leave him like that long. 

Updated the mantle with the precious baby, which, I must say, he loves.  

Got several new hats for these cold school mornings. Wesson loves the morning and loves to here "lets go to school." (Not Daddy, just Mama & Wesson, Daddy is not a morning person.) 

Got a few birthday presents in the mail and tore the paper into a million pieces. 

and... got a BIG box of toys from Aunt Katie!!!

Santa Claus Came To Town!

Here is a sneak peak at Wesson's visit with Santa. This is our hello and goodbye.

The story between will have to wait....

 

Daycare Party!

Wesson had a birthday party at Miss Cathy's the Monday after his birthday. Round Two of eating cake was whole new ballgame! He was hilarious. He was the last to get up because he was determined to eat all of his Cheetos and his Monkey Cupcake.

Miss Cathy brought him a cell phone to his Saturday party but at the daycare party he got his very own daycare shirt like the other kids have!

Wesson gave Monkey Puppet favors to his friends so we attempted a group

picture of all Miss Cathy's little monkeys.

Happy 1st Birthday Wesson!

You are the best baby in the world! Your birthday party was awesome and you thought so too! You were a little late because you decided to take a 1.5 hour birthday nap. I had to wake you up because your guests were waiting! Aunt GiGi and Emily helped me get you dressed and boy were you set. Trying to act shy, you eased your way into the living room full of people. It took you all of 30 seconds to start showing off. You put on a little show in the floor for everybody to break the ice! 

We served your favorite food groups - sweets, chips and Pb&Js.  

You greeted your guests like a true gentleman...

You enjoyed a Birthday PB&J standing up at the table.

Pierce and Ann Elise loved their first PB&J!!!

Your birthday hat was love/hate relationship... I made it with love and you hated it!

Since it was Sarah Pierce's birthday too, she was your candle helper.

Everyone was watching you so you took your sweet time getting into your cake. Aunt Gigi ended up helping you out and making a huge mess for Mama to clean up!

You were covered in gifts and appreciated them all, but you were really taken by the cards. So, the other kids opened your gifts while you told us who they were from.

Move over Jimmie Johnson! Wesson is a mean driver... a little slow... but man, can he steer!

And then you were done...

Ooh Ooh Aah Aah

This little monkey rolled into town for Halloween! Isn't he just precious!!!

Miss Cathy hosted a wonderful Pumpkin Patch day for the children last weekend! Mimi and Granddaddy came into town to go with us and to celebrate my birthday. It was a lot of fun for our first time. But, next year will be wild! Wesson will love running around all the pumpkins and the hay ride when he is a little older. After picking out a few Wesson-sized pumpkins for the house, everyone went back the Cathy's for a yummy cookout. Wesson showed off his mad driving skills (even though his feet don't touch the ground). It is very funny the way he steers like you are supposed to. Its not just back and forth. He turns the wheel all the way around and does hand-over-hand like Coach Mayfield taught us. Jimmie Johnson better watch out!

The only downfall is that the pictures are cute but there are no big Wesson smiles. I think it was a little warm and may have been hot in the turtleneck and corduroy longall. It was the official Pumpkin Patch outfit, though. He had to wear it! Plus, I spent an hour "hemming" his pants. Longalls are about 2" too long for Shorty.

 

 

"Where did it go?"

This is Wesson asking "Where did it go?". Even though he does this a thousand times a day, it's so stinking precious! 

The Beach!

Daycare was closed for Fall Break so we took a little family time off, too. Well Well, Paw Paw, Uncle Scott, Aunt Gigi, Daddy, Mama and Wesson all went to the beach!!! The weather was more than perfect, and Wesson loved the sand, the salt water, naps in his tent, just everything. Of course, he came back more rotten than before. I would get used to six people waiting on me 24/7 pretty quickly, too, so I don't guess we can say much. It was such a nice break to not do anything planned. We just did whatever we wanted to and gave Wesson our undivided attention. It was so wonderful (did I say that yet?). October is really great for infants. Spring is too cold, Summer is too hot, October is perfect! Anyways... here are a few shots...

 

Oh-So-Sweet Smiles

I know he is mine, but this baby has the most precious face! I just love him to pieces! Here are a few smiles from the past several weeks for you to enjoy...

 

 

 

Ok, so this one isn't quite so innocent... This is what a week of vacation does to a rotten boy!

Wesson loves Peek-A-Boo! This is his idea of hiding and jumping out at us. Too funny! I know these are a little old but I'm so far behind. Peek-A-Boo has evolved into hiding anything then looking at you with his hands out saying "uh?". Its hard to type what he says since its not English. But you can definitely tell he is asking a question.

Where's Wesson????

 There he is!!!
