"Kitty!"

Parker loves the cat. Whenever it walks in the room he starts pointing and yelling "kitty, kitty, kitty". Unfortunately his /k/ sound is more of a /t/ sound : ) He wallers the poor thing to death. But she just lays there and takes it. I had a cute picture of Rancher joining in but blogger was having a hard time uploading more than one picture this morning.

It is sad that Parker says kitty more than he says Mama. He first words were Daddy, Mama and Kitty. He is working on dog, ball and book.

Trip to Granddad's Farm

We took a little trip to Granddad's farm (too bad he wasn't there). But we still fed the new baby Jenny some graham crackers.

Watching the cows with daddy.

Family Day

Lounging with the doggies and mommy.

What a handsome boy!

Eating food off the plate like a big boy.

When do we get to put some of these lights up at our house?

Running Buddies

Every now and then Parker gets to take his doggy for a run with us! They both do so good. I never hear a peep out of Parker and Milly just trots along with her leash tied to the stroller.

Jumpstart: Read for the Record!

Parker doing his part to promote reading at home! We try to read at least one book during some part of the day. So this morning I made sure to bring out The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I hope everyone reads it at home with their little one today! If you don't have a copy you can get one at Wal-Mart for $8; then log on and get counted. It is a great program that provides books to low income families and schools.

Mommy finally got a matching hat...

Last year for Valentine's day I bought Parker and Scott matching hats. This year I decided to order a hat for myself. These are some pictures from Scott's phone so the quality is not that great.

Fall Break: Finger painting

Trying to make the most of my time home with Parker! I have been recording Sesame Street so we can watch it together. He loves Elmo's World! I decided to try finger painting today and he really seemed to like it. He wanted to play with the spoons more than anything. Good thing it was just flour, water and food coloring. In the process of planning more activities for the rest of the week.

Finally something Parker can do on the laptop...

I found a cute game on Fisher Price's website. Basically Parker just bangs on they keys and little animals pop up and say peek a boo and there is music. He always wants to come over and get on the computer when I am on it but there is nothing he can do without messing something up. In this game the ABC keys, number keys and space bar are all safe to hit. So there is less chance of Parker messing something up. It was nice because once he played for like 2 minutes he moved on and left me alone : )

Pumpkin Patch: Hayride and Picking Pumpkins

The Montgomerys

Loving on Mommy at the end of the day.

Riding on the hayride with Daddy.

Found the perfect pumpkin!

Pumpkin Patch: Petting Zoo

Parker enjoyed "walking" around the barn looking at the animals.

The chickens were his favorite!

Checking out the pigs with Daddy.

Petting Jimmy Dean the pig who ate cheetos.
