Family Resemblance?

I knew that Parker looked like my side of the family, I just didn't realize how much until we came across this old picture of my little brother Wesley. Parker actually thinks that this is a picture of himself! : )

The fishing hole

It feels like summer is officially here and we have really been enjoying playing outside! One of the boys favorite things to do is to go fishing in their little pool. Carsen also enjoys the occasional dip in the "pond", but Parker hates to get wet and just stands there until someone pulls him out.

30 Weeks!

I haven't updated on what is going on with me as far as my pregnancy is concerned lately, maybe it is because I was too afraid to post a picture of my swelling baby body! :) I say body and not just belly because I truly believe that I have swollen from head to toe in the past month or so. My wedding rings will no longer fit on my chubby little fingers and it is becoming more and more difficult to squish my feet into anything other than flip flops. But, I am incredibly happy and this pregnancy is going wonderfully so far. I can't believe that I have less than 10 weeks to go before I am the mother of 3 little boys...... To be honest I am starting to get a little nervous. :) Carsen is thrilled that we are going to have a new baby in the house and when asked Parker still says "no" he does not want a baby to live with us. I am so excited to meet this little boy and can't wait until he joins our family!

These moments are so sweet....

and so far between.

Potty Training Update

I thought I would post a quick update on how Parker is doing with his potty training. I am happy to say that he is pretty much 100% day time potty trained! He is still wearing a diaper to bed at night, but during the day I have switched him over to underwear and he has yet to have an accident. He asks to use the bathroom and has truly amazed me with how determined he is to use the potty. The only struggle we are currently having is that when he "poops" he has to stand up after each and every little deposit and we have to dump, flush, and clean the little potty before he will sit down and finish. This typically turns into a 30 minute session, but thankfully it's usually only once a day! :) Charles jokes we may be saving money on diapers, but we are going to end up paying it on our water bill. :)

I'm so not ready for this

Within the past week Parker has decided that he wants to start potty training. I am not one to push my kids to do things if they aren't ready, and I hadn't even considered starting to potty train him until he was closer to three. However, here we are a month before his second birthday and he is insisting on using the potty. I suppose I should be grateful, and in some ways I am, but I have to admit that I was not ready to do this right now.... he is supposed to still be my baby....isn't he?!
