My Favorite Color is Yellow...Yea!!!

That is a normal saying out of Parkes' mouth these days. And these are his only yellow pjs we have for him compliments of Vanderbilt Children's Hospital when he had his hernia surgery a year ago and as you can tell they are getting close to not fitting. I have to wash them on a regular basis as they are the only pair he wants to wear. He talks about favorite colors all day long going through mommy, daddy and parkes' favorites then going on to ask me what other friends and family members favorite colors are....he knows Uncle Brian, Matt and Keri's favorite colors so they are spoken a lot as well. And we have also now moved on into letters as well, and he likes to announce that his favorite letter is "P" for his name.

We had our monthly doctor's appt today to hear the baby's heartbeat. Parkes was so excited to go with me, and he behaved very well. He announced last night pointing to the ultra sound picture that "that's my baby sister." So we will see. The heartbeat was 145 which is right about in the middle for those guessing. I did wonder at the beginning of my pregnancy how much Parkes really understood about it and that a baby was in there, but I'm starting to believe he really is starting to get the idea now that my belly is growing of course just to the level of a almost three year old.

And finally, sorry it has been awhile since I have posted (for my many many readers out there), we are in the process of having to get everything for the most part wrapped up on our home renovation/remodel (or at least this stage of it) before an appraisal and all has to be completed by next friday. So if you wonder where we have been or where we will be for the next week or so that is it. And if you do see us and we seem in a daze and not really up for communicating that is what is wrong with us. Poor Brandon who has worked amazingly on the house is about exhausted from waking up at 6 to go to work to only come home and go to work upstairs until 10:30 or 11, but at least there is an end in sight. And the joys of an older home which we do so love he doesn't always love right now when he is trying to get things to line up and floors not to slop.
