Great Grandparents!!

So, Parker and Reagan met their great grandparents for the first time ever this weekend!  My mom, sister, nephew, and grandmother and grandfather came up to visit for the week.
 
Reagan with her Great Grandma Patterson and her cousin Landry
Grandma was so excited to meet these little munchkins!

Parks with his Great Grandpap

"You don't say!"
Landry gave his cousin a whole apple to eat.  :)
Center of attention and doesn't seem to mind...
"Wait, a whole apple just for me?!"
We are having a blast and took the kiddos to Thrasher Park in downtown Norcross on a chilly, but beautiful, Sunday afternoon. 
{I regret that I didn't get any shots of Landry...but he was running around like a crazy man so I couldn't get him!} :)

Parks & Daddy

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

very busy.

Lunch with Lou!

Lindsey Lou, that is.  We love Lindsey Lou!  She worked for my company {Metro Music Therapy} for a few years and we became great friends during that time.  She is a beautiful gal with a beautiful heart and she has been spoiling these babies rotten since before they were even born.  We just don't get to see enough of her (maybe because she works full-time and is also getting her master's degree right now), so we met her during her lunch break at Taqueria Los Hermanos...and the babies sat in restaurant-owned high chairs for the first time!  Soooo big!  (I know what you may be thinking - "They are almost 10 months old, why haven't they sat in restaurant-owned high chairs yet?!")  Well, the answer is because they are little and they just barely fit in them today - even with a big fat blanket behind their backs! :)

I forgot my real camera, so we had to take pictures on my phone.  Oh well, grainy/blurry phone pictures are better than no pictures at all, right? 

A fun time was had by all {at least I think Lindsey had fun!} and we have plans to do it again some time soon!

Parks in his highchair!

"What do you mean, that's all that's left??"

Reags stuffing her face in her highchair.

{And for my anal friends out there - don't worry, I wiped down the highchairs, table and walls before their little bodies touched anything!}

My Funny Valentines

For those of you that know me, holidays are my fav.  I mean, FAV.  So, introducing these two little nuggets to each holiday during their first year of life has been so much fun I can barely stand it! 

All that being said, we had a very fun 1st Valentine's Day together!  I dressed Reagan in her pink, "My heart belongs to an Electrical Engineer" onesie with red-laced leggings, and Parker in his red onesie with his gray sweatsuit that says, "Mommy's Big Guy."  We played, took pictures, they played with their new books and ate their new strawberry-apple puffs, and we ended the day with all four of us going to Willy's Mexicana Grill to have an early dinner together!  Then, bath time and off to bed. :) 

It is definitely a challenge to get them to sit still together!
What, mom?
Sweet Girl who loves her daddy.
their new books!
Parks liked his little heart (silverware holders from Target a few years ago)
C.H.E.E.K.S.
Parks with his heart and his sisters keys.
feet and a heart.
this is for me?!
LOVE this headband on her, but she won't wear it for longer than a few seconds. Sigh.


See??
Reagan had to pack her purse for her Valentine's date with daddy.
Don't you want to smooch these lips?!
Parks with his heart - this was mid flail.

Lunch and treats! :)
-----------------------------------------------
Happy Valentine's Day! 
We hope yours was great, too!!

New Toy

Well, it's not really that new ... we got it last year at my baby shower (thanks Aunt Kristen & Uncle Shaun!) but these little squirts are just now big enough to play in it! 

He could not love this thing any more.

How cute is this kid? :)

Reagan's first go-round...checkin' it out.
Reagan's busy little feet.

Action shot.
We should probably move the exersaucer away from the TV...
Sweet Reags.

 Is my dream to make a family rock band going to come true??

Play Date

Parker & Reagan have a "big boy" friend named Harrison, and he only lives 3 doors down from us (and we happen to love Harrison's momma & daddy, too)!  I am new to the play date world since we have kind of been living in a fog for the past nine months ... but as long as the kids are having fun and the mommas are having fun, it must be a successful date, right?  :)

If you don't know, it's the Topzy Tumblers Twirlin' Tumblin' Fun Park, and it is a hit.

Reagan watching Harrison and all of the big boy things he can do, and Parker watching me!

Harrison singing his little heart out! :)

Prison Break

As noted a few posts ago, Reagan is getting to be very busy these days...

Just some light reading...

 Mom, this book is AMAZING!

 Big girl.

 Parker, have you SEEN this book?!

It IS amazing, sister!!

I call this next photo collection, "Baby Tries to Break Out of Crib."









Oh, you saw me?!
