8 months old!

My Coley is 8 months old today. WOW...time flies. In honor of 8 months I had to do a photo shoot today. Looks like I'll have to edit this one some more looks a little dark for my liking compared to the second picture. Isn't this just too SWEET! It just screams ALL AMERICAN BOY to me. He wanted his picture taken today too, but wouldn't take off that darn shirt. Anyway, I'm glad he wouldn't because I love how this turned out. It's not the sharpest picture because that helmet was a bit heavy for him, but I just LOVE the look on his face.

Yes, I did get pics of Cole with the flag and helmet too. I just haven't had time to edit and was gonna save one of him for the 4th. :)

We have a hodge podge of photos today. The first is from this morning they were sitting in the chair watching tv. Cole was really tired here. Trying to get back on track with working with Parker and his eating. Giving him new food on his plate just isn't doing any good what so ever...he'd rather starve. And well he doesn't have anything to lose. He's actually still wearing 6-12 months swimsuits...him and Cole share. So anyway, this was lunch today. Mind you he doesn't and didn't even eat but a spoon of the peanut butter, 1 cheeto, and some pretzel sticks that aren't pictured. What we work on is smelling, kissing, licking and then putting it in his mouth. He'll kiss everything now and lick most things. Last night he even put corn, pea, carrot and a green bean in his mouth....although he gagged on the green bean.
And can you believe he's actually licking a banana...it's covered in sugar but hey whatever it takes. He also licked a strawberry. What I wouldn't give for him to actually start eating some of these things. He did eat some smashed banana in the mesh baby feeder before I gave it to Cole. Baby steps. Baby steps. I seriously don't know what I'm gonna do if he doesn't eat more than pancakes and yogurt. I am so SICK of pancakes it's not even funny. I dread making them.
Anyway, it's a rainy day here which we need so we are just hanging out at home playing today.

*edited to add: I have added 5 more layouts on the slide bar. :)

Today was PICTURE day!

My dear friend Kerrie took our pictures this morning. She was gracious enough to put the "good" pictures on a CD for me so I could decide which to order. Well I had to play with them. They were SOOC on the CD so I've cropped, converted to B/W, bumped curves just a smidge, and of course added her name to them.

My boys weren't very cooperative this morning. Parker was good for oh 4 pics while she was "testing" the lights. The second pic is during those "test" shots. Darn kid would barely sit still after that. Cole well he just doesn't smile for the camera unless Mom or Dad is right beside the camera acting like a goofball. So I don't think any of our family pics will Cole ever have a smile...I'm cool with that. Cole also didn't want anything to do with Parker today. Everytime we would sit them together Cole would start screaming and of course Parker had to pull on, hit, and pat him just to annoy the hell out of him. I guess they made up for the 30 minutes that they played together yesterday. Nice. P wouldn't take any pics unless well I was holding him. He was mad and just wanted to play. I do really like the one of us together and there are more where he is sitting and smiling too. Imagine that! :)

Those that would like a family pic of us just let me know in the comments or shoot me an email so I can order you one.

My boys playing {together}

While making lunch for Bill and I today our boys were actually playing together. Well Parker was actually playing with Cole. Cole was loving it too. Parker would cover him with a blanket and Cole would lift it up just a giggling like crazy. They actually entertained each other long enough for us to sit and eat our meal too. Please tell me that this will continue as they get older...playing nicely together, that is.

more party photos from Sat.

I've only worked on these ones so far (really quickly too)...boys are waking up, but wanted to get them posted as I have other stuff to work on this evening.


This little girl was too cute.

John Deere boy

Such a serious little guy today. We've been borrowing Ryan's gator since they are away on vacation. Parker is loving it. It's so much faster than his Jeep and rides a lot better on the grass. Anyway, I've been trying for a couple days to get a good picture of him on it. Today I did.

Hopefully, I'll get to editing more party pics today and I'll post more when I do.

This is one of the pics from the birthday party yesterday. Actually the only one I have edited because Bill needs the computer to do work stuff. So hopefully tomorow I can do some more. It was an AWESOME birthday with a carnival theme. From face painting, tickets, popcorn, and a huge blow up slide, it was ALL a hit with the kids. You name the game it was there. Just awesome...I've recruited her to helping me with P's party.
I'm out, Bill is patiently waiting for the computer. :)
