Walking and Talking

In my last post, I mentioned that Parker had started taking a few steps.  Now, she is WALKING!  She hardly crawls at all any more.  I have tried to post a video, but it's not working, so I'll keep trying!  We are extremely excited about all of the progress she's making. Of course, walking (and just standing more in general) gives her access to things she didn't necessarily approach before- things on shelves, cabinets, etc.

Parker also talks up a storm.  I thought I'd try to list some of the things that she says.

Mama, Daddy, Ga-gee (Granny), Poppa, CC (for Aunt Carlee) ou-sigh (outside), dog, Jackson, baf (bath), kisses, nigh-nigh (night night), tinky (stinky), bu-fly (butterfly), book, cookie, et (eat), bye bye, hey.  Also, if you say "You are" she will say "precious."  And if you say "Mommy (or whoever) LOVES" she will say "Parker."  My personal favorite... when she sees herself in the mirror, she will say "eh she es" (there she is).

Parker is becoming quite the Wildcat sports fan.  We have been to all of the home football games, and almost all of the home volleyball games (plus a few away games).  This Monday is "Paint the Gym Pink- Volleyball for the Cure" to raise money for breast cancer research. We're excited about attending that to support the Susan G Komen foundation AND the Lady Wildcats.  We're also getting ready for Halloween.. Parker will actually go trick-or-treating this year.  She's going to be a butterfly! 

Last weekend, we went shopping and to lunch with Mrs. Amber and Addie.  I look forward to when the girls are older and can truly play together.  Next weekend, we *might* all (Trent, me, and Parker) go to the hunting camp and spend the night.  We'll see...

Pictures (and hopefully video) coming soon!
