Big boy

Well, Parker is one month old. I was going to write about it yesterday, but of course, he decided to have one of those days where he wanted to be held most of the day and I just didn't feel like typing with one hand. So happy one month and one day birthday, Parker York.


Things haven't changed much in one month. He eats all the time (akk!) and poops even more. I've learned to have an extra diaper ready so that I don't get sprayed (which has only happened 3 times, so far.)He still looks so tiny to me. Of course, I'm with him all the time so I don't see as much change as someone who only sees him every so often. Aaron had been gone for 3 days and he came back yesterday and was like, "He is so big!"...I don't see it, but I guess it is happening! I guess that the grandparents really do have a shock when they see the kids after being apart for a few months.

Aaron has been back at work for 4 days and we have seen him for a total of 6 hours so things are going well in the oil business these days...I've enjoyed the house being quiet at night. I watched the second Bridget Jones Diary movie the other night and it was sooo funny. I never saw the first one, but the second one is a hoot. I don't WANT recommend it to anyone and have them be offended because of the occasional bad word, but I loved it. It was just what I needed to watch...It seemed like a movie that I needed to really watch in college when I was always dateless. I think almost all of my close friends in college met their mates at Harding. I was the lone girl for most of the time, but I really don't remember minding that much...I always had stuff to do and people to hang out with. I just feel like I used to really relate to Bridget Jones back then....there were many parts of the movie where I laughed out loud and it was just me and Parker awake.

Anyway, the kids and I are off to a friends house for dinner....
Does anyone else relate to any movie characters? Also, I like Renee' Zellweger (sp?) much better chunky than I do skinny...I don't like to see people's bones!!!

Just like my abnormal psychology class that I took in college, I relate to some character in most movies that I watch. In that psych class everytime we talked about a new neurosis or psychosis, I thought I had it.
I agree about not seeing people's bones. I will be so glad when this bone thin is beautiful cycle is over and we get back to appreciating real women with real curves.
I just realized that I might not get to see Parker until next Spring sometime. He will be all grown before I get to hold him.

I had to laugh (sorry!) It's been a nice change to not get peed on at diaper changes with a Caroline versus the 3 boys!

If I rightly recall, Beckie, Vivian, and me all went through college about the same way you did and you did we have fun! Jeanine had some dates along the way but now a lot and she had fun with us most of the time, too or she was cheeering while we were in the stands yelling for the Bisons...That's the best way to go through college in my opinion...unattached and having fun with everyone. I'm with you and Beckie on not seeing people's bones, but I do wish I could drop about 50 pounds...I've got to do something before I go to Italy at Thanksgiving or I won't be able to make it! Tell your mother she should go with us!
And I remember those diaper changes too...changing a boy is differnt after you are used to changing girls! Love you all!
