Let it snow...Let it snow...Let it snow!

They said it would snow and they were right! It started around lunch time and was snowing so hard you could barely see outside! Usually the north side of Atlanta get's all the action, but usually once a year we get a good snow fall. This was after about only 2-3hours of snow.

Woke up from a nap and was so excited to see it finally started to snow! Found them like this at the back door. Melted my heart to hear Ava explaining to Bennett how God made it cold enough for the rain to turn into snow.

Heading outside Friday night about 6pm. She just couldn't wait for daddy to get home so we could go outside together.

Hey...don't forget me!

Daddy and his little man.



So excited!

Did not like sitting in the snow!
All better now!

Sweet angel boy. Can you see the snowflakes on his mile long eyelashes?
Not quite sure...why she looks a little scared in this pic.

Going down the slide is more fun when it is covered in snow!
Saturday morning we woke up to 5-6 inches of snow! The sun was shining and it was so pretty outside. Poor Bennett was not feeling well and was sleeping so we headed outside (with the baby monitor) and played for a couple of hours. It reminded me of when Chris and I were little kids.

Busy building Ava's first snowman. She told Nick he needed to accessorize a little more, and found him a cowboy hat and lei.

Mr. Frosty...the final product. He was only a small ball by 5pm, as the warm sunshine melted him away.

Happy 8 Months My Sweet Bennett Parker! I had to get sneaky this month....as you can tell I had to semi hide the sign so he wouldn't eat it. In months past, I have sat him next to the same pillow in his bed with the sign next to him. But he has gotten too quick and before I can grab the camera he grabs the sign.

Well another month down! This month he has started crawling and has gotten pretty good at it. Goes after anything and everything he can get his hands on. Pulls himself up on anything sturdy and gets really mad if he falls on his tush. He loves to bounce in his johnny jump. He continues to eat REALLY well and loves all fresh fruits and veggies. He is obsessed with his baba and I can already tell it will be a huge battle when we have to take it away. His sippy isn't for drinking it's for banging on things with. He is very vocal and is saying new words every day. He also loves to mimic words and has actually become quite good at it.

He hasn't been the best sleeper this month due to those nasty teeth that are right below the surface. I'm pretty sure we will have a mobile biter on our hands in a few short days. It has been a fun month full of firsts and we are loving every minute of watching him grow.

Working on moving his legs on his new ride

Number 2 love of his life (after his bottle) his sissy! The debate is out whether he loves her or her hair more.

Bouncing away!
Not too happy! Found him like this when he woke up from a nap!

Allelujah! There's my mommy!
One of his favorite spots
Cheesing with daddy

Sweet sissy showing him how to play music
Look I can do it on my own!

Trouble wrapped up in a towelSome pics I took of him today...8 months old exactly!

Who do you think you are fooling!

Warm Day in January!

Not much to say here, except we were very excited to finally have a few warm days to go outside and play! A little fresh air & sunshine does the soul good!

The First Snow of 2010!

Well they called for snow & ice and some people really got alot. However, to Ava's disappointment we got mostly ice and a light dusting of snow. Infact it was so cold, they lasted about 5 minutes outside. The first "snow" of 2010 was actually Bennett's first snow as well. So here are just some pictures for the memory book...and yes they are both still in their pj's!

Happy 7 Months Sweet B!

Time needs to STAND STILL! My babies are growing and changing so fast. It seems the busier we are the faster the months fly by! Bennett continues to hit all of his milestones and sweet Ava girl is reading! I'm almost afraid to blink my eyes because I'm afraid I will miss something. Like my baby boy standing UP in his crib!

As always his 6month/half birthday went by super fast (I know I am beginning to sound redundant). He continues to grow and grow...not just his body but his hair too! He DOES NOT like to be left alone, loves loves loves his sister. Is saying dada, Ada, sissy, mama and lots of other sounds. Sits on the floor and tries to scoot, and has become a pro at going backwards. Has decided he doesn't like green veggies now, but mommy has a trick up her sleeves. Spits if he gets tired of a certain type of food and loves to pick food up with his pincers and feed himself.

Thinking about crying

Daddy & "B" at Ava's Christmas program Sweet Ava girl feeding Bennett his baba. She is the sweetest most compassionate child I know. She is the biggest help to me, and does things for "B" on her own without me asking. She has no idea what is coming and I pray that Bennett will take it easy on her!

Playing in his crib and on the floor.

Well here we come month 7th...Ready or not here HE COMES!
