I usually only post pictures and a few videos so here is a written update on the children. First of all they are great! Parker is so much fun and talking more and more everyday. I am going to try and get some video one night as she carries on a conversation by herself when she is supposed to be asleep. Her favorite movie is Dumbo. Every night after bath time she wants to watch it so we set a timer for 20 minutes or so and let her watch it. You can hear her giggling in the other room when the mouse and Dumbo accidentally drink champagne and he is blowing bubble out of his trunk. I don't remember Dumbo getting drunk but he does. The other night I put the timer down by the little TV and she picked it up and said "I don't want that mom". That's right, she is calling us mom and dad. It is too funny!

The weekend of the time change we said "bye bye pacifier". She was only using it at nap times and at night or on long car trips but then she starting wanting all the time and would crawl into Bennett's bed to get one....even when he was in it! So we have this book called "Bye bye pacifier" when the little boy gives his pacifier to his mommy to mail to the babies who need one and then he is a big boy. So that is just what we did. I got a little box and Parker put 4 pacifiers in it. We taped it put a stamp on it and put it is the mailbox to mail to a baby in Texas that needed it (a friend of ours just had a baby and she came to mind during this process...Aker's - you need to send me a picture of Addison so that I can show Parker who has her pacifier...that is if she uses one!) I told her that the mail lady would come pick it up and mail it off. That afternoon, she never napped and we even went walking around for the mail lady. I'm sure glad that we didn't run into her! Ever since she hasn't really asked for it but she doesn't want to go to sleep. I guess she can't turn off but each day is getting easier. If you ask her where her pacifier is she will say that a baby in Texas has it and that she is a big girl. I hope this sticks!

Bennett is just happy. He is easy to put to bed and wakes up babbling and talking. He loves to be on his stomach too. He sleeps with his rear end straight up in the air...it is too cute. If you roll him on his back he will very quickly roll back over on his stomach. He LOVES Parker! He just watches her and when she is around he will do whatever it takes (squirm, wiggle and roll) to get closer to her. He is sitting very good and just plays with his bucket of toys or in his jumperoo or exersaucer. He can't put himself in a sitted position but I don't think it will be long and then he will soon be off moving about. He will get on all fours now and rock back and forth so it is just a matter of time before we will be chasing him in and out of rooms.

Clif and I are good. We look forward to the warmer weather so that we can spend more time out in the backyard playing and swimming. We are all headed to Natchez for Easter with Coco & Papa and Crosby, Lauren and Crosby II will be there. We look forward to spending time with them. I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!
