Well, many of you know, but some do not, that we are expecting baby #2. Right now I'm 19, almost 20 weeks along. Nearly halfway and I've been slacking in posting about it here. My due date is September 16th. The first half hasn't been too fun, but in the past few weeks I have been feeling SOOO much better! I'm starting to watch my belly grow a lot more quickly.
We have a doctor's appointment this week and may or may not find out the gender of the baby, but if not, I know it will be soon. We are excited to find out! Chad is convinced we are having another boy....he thinks we are creating a basketball team. I'm not sure that I'm totally convinced. I added a poll to the side of our blog so YOU can weigh in on this - do you think the new baby is a boy or a girl??

Water Fun!
I'm sure Parker will have a fun summer with different water activities. He LOVED playing in the mist from the hose the other day. He just couldn't get enough!

Sixteen going on Seventeen...
Parker is 16 going on 17 months. He is so full of personality and keeps us laughing all day!
Now that the weather is great here in Vegas, Parker loves being outside! I think he would choose to be outside all day if it was up to him. He loves watching the airplanes fly overhead and points them out every 30 seconds or so. He also likes to collect rocks and throw them. He is trying to perfect the art of stepping up and down the curb, but not without many falls. He currently has quite a bruise on the side of his face from a curb misstep. His most favorite thing is dogs! He finds every dog that walks by and listens for their barks around the neighborhood. He usually barks back at them. Too funny!
Parker is still a big eater. He knows we keep the food in the fridge and a certain cabinet. If he is hungry or bored he goes in the kitchen and pulls on the fridge or stands in front of the cabinet and whines. Other kids aren't allowed to have snacks around him without him letting them know that he needs to have some too. He doesn't care if the other person is a complete stranger - he feels perfectly entitled to whatever they are eating. He is starting to get a little pickier when it comes to dinner time and not wanting to eat meat (he is too much of a carb lover!!), but overall he's a pretty good eater.
Parker loves to load and unload most anything. He has been in this phase for quite a while now. He will spend the longest time completely entertained by moving his books from one basket to the other basket, moving cheerios from one bowl to the other, etc. It's so funny that something so simple can keep him entertained for so long.
Parker's favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba. When he hears the intro music and realizes it is starting he comes running. He loves listening to the same silly songs over and over and sometimes likes to get his groove on too.
Parker has quite a bit of attitude these days too. He knows too well how to throw himself on the ground and pout if things aren't going his way. He makes sure this happens somewhere we can watch so we will know how upset he is and hopefully give in. I'm working to break his habit of pulling my hair when he gets mad at me. He is going through more of a mommy-attachment phase too.
He loves to give hugs and kisses. He is very loving when he wants to be. We're having lots of fun with Parks!

Whirlwind!
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least. I lost my job a month ago now. Not two weeks later, Chad got a call at his office from corporate letting them know that they would be closing the Las Vegas office. Goodness! Both of us out of a job with no warning and seemingly no preparation for it. Well, the job never was Chad's dream job so he had been looking and keeping his options open even before learning the news. He had interviewed with a CPA firm earlier in the week through a lead from church. It was just a day after getting the dreaded phone call from corporate that the CPA firm called Chad back and sent him an offer letter and wanted him to start immediately.
He has been at the new job for a little over two weeks now and it is working out great. We are in the midst of tax season so Chad is crazy busy at work. He works most days until late in the evening and works on Saturday as well. So, we don't get to see him a lot at home, but we are SO grateful that he has a job!! ...and it is something that he really enjoys doing and is getting to use all those years of education with plenty of room for growth!

Talk about a man with a foot fetish!
Parker's has recently started obsessing over my feet. He is constantly trying to get to them so he can lick or bite me. I have no idea why??!?
