swinging, smiles, & post-scripts.

i found the key to getting parker to swing on a swing.  it's his blanket!

he was all shaky hands & nervous laughter until i handed him his blanket.  once it was securely tucked into his lap he was good to go.  i wonder if i could get him to like swimming by giving him his blanket, too?  maybe tucking it into a ziploc or something?  it could totally work.

this kid kills me.

ps:  in this last picture parker is being held up by my feet while i take pictures.  it kinda only works for like 2-3 shots before his wiggly little body starts plummeting toward the ground.  but don't worry, no babies were harmed in the taking of these pictures.

pps:  it's one am, parker & sam are asleep & i just got done watching the bachelorette while blogging & am now totally craving a big fat burrito with lots of sour cream & avocado.  but i'll probably just go to bed.  well, also i don't have any avocado.  or sour cream.  or any other burrito ingredients for that matter.

ppps:  today might be new car day if all goes well.  cross yer fingers.

pppss:  i would love it if my allergies would just go away & die a slow fiery death.  i am completely over the feeling of burning, itchy eyes, & a stuffy nose.  i mean, it was cool at first, but now?  over it.  syke.  it sucked from the start.  hear that allergies?  you suck.  

pppsss:  fact: your votes cure allergies.
