Now that we are back in TN we have been trying to keep busy. With just lil P and I the days can really drag on if we don't get out of the house. We have been to the park, went on runs, and had some playdates with our friends. When we first came back from staying with Nana and Papa Parker was having a little trouble adjusting back to his gym daycare and his bible class at church. The first time I dropped him off at the gym daycare you could have heard his screams a mile away, I SOOO wanted to go back in and get him but I stayed strong and sure enough within a couple of minutes he was totally fine. He knows what he is doing, he plays the game;) I always love going back into get him after I am done working out because the second I open the door he drops whatever is in his hand and immediately starts to fake cry as if to say "oh I know it "looked" as though I was having fun but really I was miserable the entire time." ha ha ha!! I can honestly say with the weather getting nice its really a bittersweet thing for me. I am excited to be able to take Parker outside to play but at the sametime I am very sad that Michael is not here for this. Summer was our favorite with Parker last year, we loved going to the park and grilling out. I am really going to miss that this summer. It really hit me hard today driving with the windows down feeling the warm, sunny air I wanted so bad to pick up the phone call Michael at work and tell him "I'm not cooking lets grill out tonight." I have really found since he left that no matter how excited I get about something like the warm weather, nothing is as good as it could be if he were here. I know this too shall pass and he will be here before I know it, but until then Parker and I will continue to trudge on and enjoy the beautiful weather! Its amazing to me how one of my biggest fears about Michael leaving was being a single parent while he was away, it seems as though my biggest fear has turned into my biggest blessing, I don't know how I would get through this without our beautiful baby boy. He keeps me going!
So I was looking through some old videos and found these and I just had to post them. Hope you enjoy!!!!
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, between Michael leaving and going to KC for awhile I haven't found the time. Parker is becoming more and more independent everyday. He no longer allows me to feed him AT ALL, he uses the spoon and feeds himself like a big boy I posted a pic of him eating his oatmeal. He also will climb up into his high chair all by himself, and he is liking me to rock him to sleep like he use to:( It's amazing how much he has changed already since Michael left, it breaks my heart to think about how different he will be when Michael comes home. I write down everything new he does so that when Michael calls I am able to share it all with him. Parker LOVES to listen to his daddy read him a book. Michael recorded himself reading using one of the new hallmark books and Parker will sit and listen to it or at least half of it. He is so busy these days you are lucky to get him to sit for even a minute. We are most definitely in the fit throwing stage. It is BAD, the boy has a nice little temper on him. I'm not sure where he gets it, Michael and I are so easy going, ha ha h jk! He keeps me on my toes that is for sure. I can honestly say with Michael being gone it really has given me the opportunity to stop and appreciate this beautiful life we have together. I am so proud of him and our family. I am thankful for this time apart in a way, because it has made me appreciate things I never really took the time to appreciate before. What an opportunity Michael and I have to see how strong our love and marriage is, and I will tell you we are really realizing how strong of a couple we are, it wonderful! I promise to be better about posting;)
