This and That

Recently...
well-- I know this is suppose to be a blog about our adventures in China... and Parker is now the star of mommy's blog... now put the two together... Adventures with Parker in China :) haha.

So I don't have many adventurous stories to tell you except--
-- I had to figure out what to do this week when Parker poopied in his tub (I'm talking a blow-out... he is floating in his own filth quite literally) and the cold shoilette floor was not the right thing as his eyes get HUGE and he goes squimmy. The next option: a rug that is now hanging out to dry :)
-- Making him laugh so hard he got the hiccups. This by far had to be the cutest thing in the world. He just starts laughing (which sounds adorable) so I start laughing and he laughs harder ... back and forth ... ends with Parker having the hiccups. Loved this moment.
-- Teaching my girls that everyone has sin- even Parker and explaining how he sometimes get a little attitude (yes even at 2 months) and how when he starts having a bad attitude I talk to him about having a heart pleasing to the Father.
-- Last thing that doesn't involve Parker (except he was there) - a teammate and I went to the grocery store together. I found a 100 calorie Starbucks Frap. (they have disappeared from last year... can't find them anywhere... this was like finding gold) Got to the register and the lady wouldn't let me buy the Frap. What do I do... keep saying (in Chinese) "I want that... I want that" (yes, my Chinese is poor... but she knew what I was saying) and she said "No" My teammate (her Chinese is amazing) explained to the lady I really wanted to buy it and asked why she wouldn't let me... after something about a defective bar-code and the exchanging of 22.80 RMB... I got my Frap :) Thank you Cathy!!!

And because every blog post should include pictures--

Kisses from Mommy. Even though he looks like he was sleeping... he wasn't :)
I love this :) Wes took this picture of Parker looking at me.
He found his hands... and LOVES to suck on them. He has also started holding on to his lovey every now and then... but it generally ends with him trying to eat his lovey :)
