Grandma switch

Jared had Monday off this week so we got to spend an extra day with him. We went to Babies R Us and got Parker her new “big kid” car seat. Her old one was getting too small and now this one makes her look so little. Now Parker uses the big box from the new one for her little fort.

Last week Parker and I took Pat to a ceramic place to make a plate for a “thank you” for coming to help out. I was able to pick it up this week and it turned out really cute!

On Saturday we dropped Pat off at the airport and then picked my mom up a few hours later. To try and not let Parker get too confused we decided to call mom “grammy” instead of grandma. I don’t know how she’d react if all of a sudden we had a new person in the house with the same name as the person who has been taking care of her for 2 weeks. I wanted to make sure she knows they are 2 different people and grandma Jessop isn’t being replaced! We had a great time with Pat here and Parker loooooved playing with her. Good luck going back to work, Pat, and we’ll see you next month for Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we took Parker to the cheap photography place to get some pictures of her in her halloween costume. She did pretty horrible. She was tired and cranky and cried the whole time. She was walking a LOT, though. I would stand her up to get some pictures and she’d just start walking all around the picture area. It was cute. We didn’t get a single smile out of her:( But we got a couple cute shots anyway.

Parker has started singing this week. She found that one of her toys has a working microphone and likes to sing into it. Grandma taught her to play “pat-a-cake” with her blocks so she likes to do that a lot, too. We were able to catch some of it on video.

Here are our pictures from the week and then Pat’s:
