Sweet Baby D... Worth the Weight!: Christmas and New Year's

We had a blast during the holidays, and Parker loved all of the excitement with relatives at my Granddaddy's house. He was spoiled with gifts and especially likes his Little People zoo. He really enjoyed my Granddaddy's Christmas tree, and after he helped take it down, he kept going to wave bye-bye to the empty spot where it had been. Too cute! He did really well with learning everyone's names; it was so fun watching him point to each relative when we'd ask where so-and-so was.

He's 17 months old now and has added several words to his vocabulary. "Sunshine" is my favorite word he says. He has good manners and says, "Thank you" a lot and signs "please." He's also obsessed with trash. Everywhere we go, he points and says, "Trash!" and throws stuff away. He enjoys blowing kisses and now says, "night night" to Himal each evening. He also likes being tickled and tickling other people.

It was glorious having the week off from work after Christmas. Himal and I actually got to hang out and watch football and tv shows like most couples. I absolutely cannot wait to quit my job - I just don't know when it's actually going to happen because they are having a hard time getting my position posted. Ugh.

I'm just going to add in a ton of pics here, so enjoy!
