a few pics from the beach

I was not really fond of this particular hat but Mom said it helped block out the sun. I caught a few ladies looking my direction...so I guess it really was not too bad!
Checking out the hot babes at the pool...
There are no words to express how cool I really am!!
Here's a full body shot for all the ladies...I included my "six-pack" and all...
Chicks Dig Me...ust in case you guys didn't know...I thought I would put it on my shirt...thanks to my Mom's crazy friend, Maggie for purchasing my onesie for me! I was supposed to share a birthday with her but I decided that I wanted my OWN day! We're close enough to celebrate together though!!


Here are some more pics of the little guy. These are just a few from the beach. He is taking a nap right now so that's why I am able to post! I'll put more up when I get the opportunity! Enjoy!

HERE YA GO HAILEY...

Here I am right after my bath...I LOVE to eat my hands
Yes ladies...I AM naked under here!!
I'm not really sure what these things on my feet are but mom says I gotta get used to them...
Me and my Dandy (he's my great grandfather!!)


***Just a little disclaimer...NO WE ARE NOT OLE MISS FANS...contrary to what these pics might lead you to believe!! We are AVID Mississippi State fans...I put this outfit on him to match his little shoes...thank you-LEAH (aka MOM)***

John Parker is growing up so fast! I have been taking pics of him but I am finding it difficult to maintain a blog and raise a kid and work...I am loving the new job at St. D! I am still working weekdays but within the next month or so I will be working weekend nights...this will hopefully bring in a little more money (so she can spend it on me!!-John Parker) I got a text message the other day from my Hailey (my college roomate) that was PLEADING for an update...here it is!! I am also happy to report that John Parker now has an Aunt! Mark and Amanda got married at the beach on July 16th (that's where we've been as well!) I will post some pics from the wedding and the beach as soon as I get another chance!!

I'M A BIG BOY NOW!!

"What did you guys say this thing was for??"
"EATING?? ALL RIGHT!!! Where's the grub?"

"What is this??"

"HELP ME!! Please call the center for child abuse...this stuff is AWFUL!!!"

"Seriously...I don't care how many times you shove it back in my mouth...I'm not gonna eat it!!"

"HELP!!!"

"Okay...I've had enough of this..."

"You think this is FUNNY??"

"Now this is what I'm talking about...bring on the childhood obesity!!!"

For those of you wondering, John Parker had his first taste of "big boy" food today. As you can tell by the lovely faces, he did NOT really know what to think about his "green beans." (I say that because they did not resemble green beans in any way!) He went to the doctor for his 4 month check-up and second round of shots. John Parker handled the shots really well...he shot me a glance that broke my heart...but I stayed strong (this time) and didn't cry! He even laughed and smiled at the doctor after his shots...don't know what that was about...guess he was practicing his flirting skills... He is now 26 1/2 inches long, 14lbs 15oz, and his big gourd head is 44cm!! I just KNOW he's gonna be the next Einstein with that big ole watermelon head!!

But seriously...if anyone has any suggestions as to the "best-tasting" baby food (that's an oxymoron cause apparently they all taste like crap...) please feel free to let me know. I wanted to introduce veggies first so he would have to give them a chance...I hear all babies like fruits. Let me know what is best!!

Some BRAND NEW pics...

I couldn't figure out which one to put on here so I just put them all!! We finally caught some smiles on camera!!



John Parker apparently has had enough!!

Uncle Mark changed my diaper and he said it wasn't easy to do when I was moving around...he couldn't even put my clothes back on me!
These are my new PJs from the Gap. Mom bought them for me...I'm not real sure I want my picture taken in them...
Mom found this outfit at Gymboree. I think she really likes that store cause she got a coupon there and plans on going back REAL soon...
Hey...we actually caught a smile on camera!!
My Papa got this little number for me...Mom must really like it alot cause she puts me in it ALL THE TIME!!

Well I figured I needed to post some new pics since my college roomate, Hailey, told my mother at church that I was being lax on my blogging lately. We have been kinda busy around here lately in preparation for Mark and Amanda's wedding and for my new job(which starts on July 9th!) We have been snapping pics, though. So I hope everyone enjoys! It is CRAZY RAINING outside right now and we are all SO HAPPY!! Hope this is enough for ya, Hailey!!

Bathing Beauty...

Notice the hand propping up his big gourd...

"Mom...you're embarassing me..."
"Hmmm...your hand tastes like chicken..."
Deep in thought...who knows what he's thinking about...
Swimming sure does leave ya hungry...

Mr. John Parker went swimming with his GiGi, LaLa, and his mom. He had a blast (and we did too.) I have one pic of him in this neat little floatation device I found but he kept doing face plants into the front of the floatie. So we had to prop his head up to make it look like he could sit up in it!! I'm a little late posting these but better late than never...

Fast Times at 48 Wintergreen Road

John Parker got into Aunt Amanda's panties...he's gonna kill me when he gets older but it was just too cute not to share...
Sara Beth and John Parker on their first date...she's not too impressed...I think it's cause he kept crying...she doesn't want a whiney little wimp for a boyfriend...

The only time he smiles for us these days is when he is naked...hope that's not a sign of what's to come...
This is the lovely little face we usually get when we put a camera in front of his face!

Lauren, Hollie (Amanda's sister) and I threw a lingerie shower for Amanda last nite. For those of you that do not know, Amanda is my future sister-in-law. We had a great time and John Parker got to meet his "girlfriend, " Sara Beth. She is the daughter of Lance and Elizabeth (Mark and Amanda's friends.) John Parker and Sara Beth share a birthday (March 2nd). She is almost 12 hours older than John Parker. Sara Beth is a cutie and she is WAY more mature than John Parker...she is already holding her head up like a pro and smiles all the time (while John Parker lays a look on you and only smiles when he is sure there are NO CAMERAS anywhere near him!) We really did have lots of fun and Amanda got some great stuff...thanks to everyone that showed up and helped out!!

This one's kind of long, but it's apparently the only way we can get smiles!
