Back to work!

Well, summer is over and I am back to work. I love my job, but I hate leaving my boys. During the school year, I see my students more than my own children...this can be a hard thing to deal with sometimes. Bryant and Parker seem to be getting into the school routine, which is getting up early and Daddy taking them to Nana's house. Parker has started sleeping through the night...HALLELUJAH!!! He couldn't have picked a better time, I think that he knew Mommy needed her sleep to function properly at work. But, now that I have written that he probably won't sleep through the night tonight. They always prove you wrong when you decide to brag on them. Bryant goes to bed about 8:30pm and sleeps until 7:00am; Parker goes to bed about 9:30 or 10:00pm and sleeps until 7:00am. What more could a mommy ask for?

They are both getting so big and Bryant amazes me everyday with things that he can do or words that he can say. Right now, his new thing is to push cars, trucks, books anything he can find across the floor and make car sounds. He also loves to wear socks on his hands...kinda like Micheal Jackson and his glove. When Bryant puts a sock on his hand or a hat on his head he becomes some kind of character that he has made up, it is so funny...he definitely has an imagination! Parker aka "Moose" (this is what Bryant and I call him) has found his hands and loves to chew on them. He is also smiling, laughing and talking more and more each day. I can't believe that he will be 4 months old in a couple of weeks. Bryant will be 23 months old on September 5th. I can't wait to start planning his birthday party! I am sure we will have it at Chuck E Cheese, his favorite place, he has been there so many times that he knows when he leaves he has to show them his hand where they stamped it when we came in. Pretty smart for a one year old! I am looking forward to the weekend, so that I can spend sometime with my little men. It's only our first week back, but I am already starting to have Bry-Bry and Moose withdrawals. I will post some new pictures of them soon!

Until next time....

Another Great Day!

What a great day we had today! Bryant helped his daddy make me a card for my birthday he signed(colored) his name and wrote I love you, it was so sweet. He was so proud when he gave it to me..he said "see mom, see", like he was telling me look what I did for you. Then we went to McDonald's for story and playtime. Then Bry and I tried to go to Pump it Up, but of course it was closed and he couldn't jump. So , we went to Walmart and he got a watch,which of course had baseballs, basketballs, footballs and soccer balls on it. He also got a Cars t-shirt, but only because he saw it freaked out, yelling "see cars mom, see cars..drive, drive" he then took it upon himself to throw the shirt in the basket. So, tonight for bed he HAD to wear his Cars shirt, watch Cars and was drinking out of his Cars cup. I forgot to mention in the last blog that he LOVES to drive, it is what he talks about when he is not talking about baseball. When he loves something, he LOVES it with all of his heart!

Parker slept almost all day, I think he is getting sick..poor little thing. There isn't ever much to write about him, because he is still in the eating, sleeping, pooping stage. Nothing too exciting. He has on the other hand grown A LOT! He is now almost out of his 3-6 month clothes and is quickly growing into the 6-9 month clothing. Luckily we have a lot of clothes from Bryant, but I have a feeling that in the next year he is going to out grow his big brother and we will be passing clothes from Parker to Bryant instead of the other way around.

Another day has come and gone and tomorrow my little boy will be 12 weeks old and in 2 months my other little boy will be 2 years old. I can't believe it.

Our crazy life!


The summer is over and Parker is 3 months old. I can't believe that it is already time for me to head back to work and miss seeing my two little men everyday. I have loved being at home with them for the summer, but I must admit that there were days that were hard. Having two boys that are only 19 months apart can be a little tough sometimes, but also very rewarding! Bryant was a little skeptical and jealous of his little brother at first, but has slowly decided that having him around is not so bad. He begs for Parker to get down and play with him...he tells him 'mon, 'mon and calls him like a dog, patting his leg and all. It is so cute! I tell him that in 3 months when Parker is crawling he will be upset that Parker is into all of his toys.

Parker is a totally different baby than Bryant. He is very dependent and LOVES to be held, it could be that he is a little spoiled! I guess subconsciously I spoiled him more knowing that he is my last baby. He is a happy baby now that we changed his formula and he loves to smile and talk to you!

Bryant is obsessed with sports and when I say obsessed I am not exaggerating. He is constantly playing with some kind of ball and will sit and watch an entire baseball game...pretty good for a 22 month old! He has about 5 different gloves, 8 different bats, a basketball goal, and more balls than you could count! His favorite movie was George of the Jungle, but right now he is into Thomas the Train. We think it is totally boring, but he seems to love it. Bry-Bry, as we call him, doesn't talk much, but he can explain a whole movie to you in sounds...it is so funny!

David and I are adjusting to having another baby, it is amazing how in 19 months you can totally forget how hard having a baby can be. Overall it has been great and I wouldn't change it for the world. I couldn't imagine not having both of my boys at this time in my life. I am looking forward to all of the funny moments and I can't wait to watch them grow up and be the wonderful men that I know they are going to be! Hopefully with this blog we can keep you updated on our life with these two amazing little boys that God has blessed us with!
