JR in stats
Our fair son has been doing great...sleeping, eating, chatting, etc! We went to the doctor today and he weighs in at 25 pounds, and is 30 1/2 inches tall. He's a little short, but he makes up for it in big ways:Teeth count: 8! His molars came in and he didn't even fuss about it!
Words: Da-da, ma-ma, uh-oh, hey, whoa, ball, "dis", "dat"....he is working on bird, boat, and book. He also says "mmmm.." when you ask if he is hungry! It is precious!
Actions: Brings a toy when asked, points at eyes, nose, ears, and mouth when
asked, dances, throws balls, claps, plays peek-a-boo, waves hello/goodbye, turns pages of books and points to pages, pulls up and cruises on furniture, walks behind push toys, goes up and down stairs, walks holding on to your hand (otherwise he's a knee-walker!), and as of last night, he was going from sitting to standing without holding on! He is feeding himself and trying to use baby fork and spoon (loves to eat!), and puts the phone/cell phone to his ear and says, "heeeey".He is also starting to pay attention to cartoons on t.v. and tries to brush his hair. His level of independence is growing daily!

FUN with Polk
JR and Polk have had some bonding moments over the past two weeks. JR pounces and pets; Polk just lies there and takes it. What a good dog!
Trip to Douglas!
We had a wonderful trip to Douglas, Georgia a few weekends ago to see my dad and Joan. We have discovered the trick to long road trips is driving at night, while baby sleeps. JR did great in the car and had a blast with his PawPa and Grandmother.

It's OPEN WINDOW season!
If you look closely, you'll see the canine (and human) Parrish kiddos, enjoying a warm, breezy, open window Saturday afternoon. The dogwoods have bloomed and the azaleas are just now opening up all over the yard. Spring really is beautiful in Spartanburg.
We're in the midst of Spring Fever; getting outside more and embarking on home improvement projects. 705 Dupre Drive will soon lose its grayish-purplish color and be a nice neutral khaki. We can't wait to post pictures of the newly painted house next week...weather permitting!
We'll soon be posting pictures of our big trip last weekend to Douglas, Georgia. As always, PawPa and Grandmother Joan were fabulous hosts. JR had a big time! PawPa will have surgery in Valdosta on Monday, so we'll be thinking healthy thoughts for a speedy recovery!

Oh Easter Bunny!
Happy belated Easter! We have had a wonderful two events to blog about...the Wofford Eggstravaganza, and our family Easter celebration.
Our family Easter lunch and egg hunt at Gance and Poppy's was just perfect. JR was a big boy and picked up each egg, gave it a shake, and put it in the basket. Gance, Poppy, and Emme watched him...it was amazing to see him hunt the eggs. He walked (with help) all over the beautiful backyard and took a long nap afterward. Finding plastic eggs in the garden is hard work! While he napped, we watched a family of geese (with five babies!) in the lake. It was a perfect Easter Day!
Wofford holds a fabulous family event on campus with egg hunts, picnic lunches, bouncy castles, and an Easter bunny. JR almost slept through the event...we arrived late but had a great time lunching on the lawn of Old Main and walking in the grass (chasing a ball of course). We saw lots of friends and had a wonderful time!

Ode to March 2009
Happy, happy April! We are so excited that it is finally springtime, the weather is getting warmer, and JR is getting bigger! March was a fun month...full of adventure! JR took his first trip to the Biltmore in Asheville, NC. We ate a yummy Sunday brunch and then went to the stables to see the horses. The staff was nice enough to let JR see the horses up close and personal--he was so excited! It was a wonderful trip with Gance and Poppy.
JR got hit with a pretty nasty ear infection in March, so he looked like the picture below for quite a while!
Of course, March wouldn't be complete without March Madness! JR cheered for Clemson basketball, but they got knocked out in the first round....better luck next time Tigers!
