These are a few of Parx's favorite things. The dish washer, if he sees me loading or unloading it he will come flying in to "help" he loves pulling the spoons out.
Eating almost anything. He has wanted to feed himself a lot lately and wants everything Dave and I are eating.
Still loves his baths and lately really likes playing with the water as the tub fills up.
And last the other morning we watched Madagascar and I was shocked he sat like this for almost 10min. he was so absorbed by it.

10 months gone like that.

Parx turning One is just around the corner and I can Not believe it. We are seeing his little personality come out more and more each day. He is becoming a little more spunky and maybe we are seeing a little more of this mother in him but just maybe! But one thing is for sure we love him more and more everyday.

• You are still a mamas boy. If I am around you would rather have me than anyone
• You have 8 teeth, 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom
• You have to eat whatever mom is eating
• When we feed you you have to hold your own spoon or you throw a fit to get ours
• You are so good to play and entertain yourself for a little while at least
• You have moms cold hands and feet.
• You have started throwing little fits when we put you down or don't feed you fast enough you SCREAM. I do not like this at all!
• You have learned how to give kisses. They may be opened mouth and wet but they are the BEST
• You know how to clap and wave bye. We are working on high five, you do it but only when you want to
• You know your food comes from the microwave so when its going or it beeps you get so excited and point at it.

Next to eternal life, the most precious gift that our Father in Heaven can bestow upon man is his children.

Since daddy was home today we thought we would have him help/join in taking pictures with us.

New Years

2011 was a great year for our family, a lot of change, fun, and memories. It will be hard to top. But I am looking forward to what 2012 has to come and hope it also has a few changes fun and memories as well.
To ring in the new year we went to the Ballard's to play games, watch t.v. and eat a lot of good food. It was really fun. I think once you get married New years loses a little excitement and once you have kids it does even more. Parx was home in bed by 8pm and we were close to follow at ten pm.
