Everyday life with my monsters at their best....

Where do I begin?

I love my boy he is the sweetest little thing. He is a very good baby and he is almost 1 now. He is a momma's boy and I have to say I kind of like that. As the girls have gotten older they just don't like me as much as they use to. Infact we spend a lot of time arguing over really stupid things. And I think that makes me really appreciate my babies, they can't talk back, fight, slam doors, and cause drama YET.
However he is very spoiled and he does like attention and being held (which I am taking advantage of). This is Parker throwing a fit beacuse I am helping his sisters with their homework, and not spending all of my time and attention with him.

I love these big crocadile tears!

While I get ready every day he always seems to find me.

He is crawling into the bathroom for his MaMa.

And yes his first word is MaMa. I tell Jared it is because he loves me most.

He is just a little jealous, and told me the other day that I need to quit babying him

or he is going to grow up to be a wimp. I just told him he is a baby and as long as he loves me most I am going to take advantage of that.

Nap Time: crashed on the front room floor with a bottle and the boppy.

Parker is so fun he has also learned recently to wave bye-bye and Hi. When the girls leave in the mornings to catch the bus or when they come home he gets so excited and waves and then looks at me like am I doing this right?

His right hand waves at the wrist like in the picture but usually he has both hands going only his left hand just the fingers wave. I don't know how he does it. I am not coordinated enough to do that .

Homework time: This is the time of the day that I dread. I hate homework just as much as they do. I fight with them from the time they get home from school til bed time to get it done and sometimes that isn't even enough time. I have tried grounding them, extra chores, etc. and nothing seems to work.

And Parker still wondering when it is his turn for the attention.

Sunday afternoon ritual: We all gather infront of the bigscreen in the basement with a big bowl of popcorn and blankets to watch a movie. I don't think I have watched a full movie yet I usually end up asleep.

Show time: This too is a daily ritual with girls in the house they are always trying to put together some song and dance routine that we all have to see before bed. Including our home teachers and any other guests we may have.
Bath time: I thought this was just the cutest thing ever so please excuse the PORN. There is just nothing cuter that a baby's bum expecialy when it is as chubby as my babies.

The girls were playing peek a boo with him, and he laughed so hard he peed all over the floor.

See aren't those cheeks just adorable?

Finally Bed Time: The girls do pretty well most of the time about bed. They know we mean business at the end of the day. Occasionally we do still have to get the through the I need a drink, my legs hurt, I have a headache, I don't feel well phases but when they are finally out for the night, I love just watching them sleep.They are so peaceful, and sweet when they are all asleep.:) Paige and Kodie both do this occasionally. We go down stairs to tuck them in and find that they chose not to sleep in their beds and have made some sort of weird bed on the couch in the princess tent, or they are in each others beds. Well this time it was paige and she made a bed in her room just inside the door in her bean bag. So Jared quietly moved her to her bed.

Mean while Parker thinks he is being sneaky and finds something to play with.
