Chandlers 3rd Tooth

Chandler is cutting his 3rd tooth! It is his top right one. I can feel it coming in. He is teething really well. He is sleeping all night and I haven't given him Tylenol at all for this tooth until today. It really hasn't seemed to bother him. Poor Parker had a tough time teething. He even had to have codeine to get him through a few of his teeth.

St Louis

This weekend we took a quick trip to St. Louis. Shaun woke up Friday morning and said he sure would love to get out of town for the weekend, so we did. The boys did pretty good on the way up there. It took much longer than just a normal 6 hour drive. We had several stops. But we made it there Friday night and we had fun.
On Saturday we went to the City Museum. It was such a cool place. They had all kinds of tunnels and slides and stuff made out of steel and building material and shipping rollers. Parker and Chandler had so much fun. They were completely worn out when we left.
We realized we forgot bathing suits to swim in at the hotel, so we decided to go to walmart, but it took us forever to find it. We actually never found it until we finally found a Target and left from there. Suddenly walmart just appeared out of nowhere. Of course it would when we didn't need it anymore.
On Sunday we ate at white Castle. It was ok. We saw it on food network and wanted to try it. We went to the arch. Parker hesitated to go to the top, but he liked it a little. He is scared of heights so after he looked out the window he told us... I am done, I want to go home now. He really just wanted to get back down to the ground. Seeing flying birds below him didn't fit his fancy.
Last we took a tour of annheiser busch. The boys got to see the clydesdale horses. Those horses are like royalty. i think I want to be a horse for Annheiser Busch.
This trip homw was better. i boys slept most of the way, they were exhausted. We stopped and ate at Cracker Barrel in joplina nd then got home about 10:00 Sunday night. It was a good get away and it is always fun to take the boys to see new stuff. They really enjoy famly outings.

Chandler can Crawl

Chandler can crawl! He has been trying tto for awhile now. He could go backwards and spin all around but he just hadn't figured out how to go forward until today. He looks kind of like an inch worm cause he sticks his hiney up in the air and then plops down. It gets him where he wants to go though! he crawled all the way from his room to Parker's room.
He can also sit up from crawling too. I hadn't seen him do that until today either. I think Shaun may have seen him do it once before though.
We went to the mall today and got a drink and tried to teacher Chandler to use a straw. He learned so fast. It is cute that he can drink out of a straw now!
We took the boys to Build a Bear and Chandler got excited about a puppy so he got a soft cute puppy with a red shirt and Parker picked out a pink minkey with hearts all over it. We tried to see if he wanted a bear or dinosaur or someting but he wanted the pink one. So silly. When we got home he said it was his curious george monkeys mama. He is really into family and who is who. He always is asking things like... where is Reese's mama (he thinks reese is a daddy dog), and is that kitty a daddy or mama. He just wants to know. It's sweet to me.

Christmas

We had a great Christmas. e spent Tuesday night with Grandma and Pappaw, Wednesday night with Great Grammy and Grandad and Thursday with Nanny and Poppa. The boys got s many clothes and toys I couldn't believe it. It was really fun. Parker really got into it this year. He was so sweet opening gifts. he showed interest in each gift and said thank you to people as he opened them. He was so poite, sweet and excited. Chandler loved that paper and bows of course. He was very excited and had a great time too.

Spidey

Today was a snow day! WoooHoo! I love snow days!
While Chandler was taking a nap, Parker and I went through his old clothes to see what could fit Chandler. Parker was such a good helper. He put all the socks away and matched up shoes for me. Chandler is already wearing some 18 month clothes and he is only 7 months old! He weighed 21 lbs when we went to Dr. Daley last week. Anyway, we found a cute pair of Jammies. I think he makes a cute spiderman baby.








Also, earlier this morning Parker broke up his goldfish into small pieces and gave some to Chandler. It was cute of him to do and Chandler loved the goldfish.

The Christmas Train

Tonight we went to the Christmas Train in Dry Gulch, USA. They remodeled and it is very pretty there. We had a lot of fun. It was pretty cold though! It started sleeting while we were there and then we drove in freezing rain home. Yikes! But Shaun did a good job, I am just one of those nervous riders. Chandler was such a good baby. He fell asleep when we rode the train. Parker had fun, he loves trains so much. He also got to ride a pony. But, during the whole pony ride, he kept looking a this small little donkey that was standing off to the side. It really was a sweet looking donkey. It looked like the donkey in the Disney cartoon Small One. I think that is why Parker was so worried about him. He thought that he looked sad. When we watched that movie last week, there was a part at the end of the movie when Joseph buys the donkey to carry Mary. The movie never shows a picture of Jesus or Mary, but when it showed Joseph, I told Parker who it was. He said, oh and Mary! It is neat that he is connecting the two together and knows their names.

The Sleeping Haircut

We went to Wal Mart shopping this morning and then we had to head straight to a hair appointment. Parker fell asleep on the way. So, when we got there I just carried him in asleep thinking he would wake up inside for the haircut. He didn't though! He slept through the whole thing!
