New Friends & New Things



















We went to eat at Chick-Fil-A and Parker drank from his juice box for the 1st time!  YEAH!  I have tried sippy cups with straws, but he doesn't really think too much of those.  So, a friend of mine told me to try the juice boxes, with the smaller straws.  So, I did and he caught on to the idea really quick!  I started out by putting the straw in his mouth and squeezing the juice.  It was hilarious - when the juice went into his mouth - his eyes lit up.  It was like, "Oh my, there is juice!!"  It was pretty funny.  So, after a couple of times of doing this, he actually started sucking some out of the straw.  I had to hold the juice box, but hey, small steps - right??!!  Needless to say, I was a very proud mommy!


















We also got Parker this new chair that comes with a tray.  It is perfect for him and he loves it.  We can do many things with this chair and it's a chair that grows with him as he gets older.  The chair is called a cube chair and you can flip it over to make the seat-part higher off the ground.  We can't wait to use this more - all of us are excited to use it!



































Kathy and Lee and their doggies, Birdie and Molly, stayed at our house on their way through to visit their daughter in Florida.  They are from Nebraska and we always enjoy getting to see them.  The doggies were great with Parker, and Parker was so intrigued with them as well.  Of course, Jake was sooooo excited to have some doggie friends over to play.  Enjoy the pics of their visit!
