Play Ball!

Well...it was about time for a new video! This was hilarious. I think the best part of it all is that it took place in the middle of a fussy day for Parker. He really isn't fussy that often at all, but the last two days have been a little trying! I thank God that we did not have a baby that is fussy all the time, and I think it makes it harder when he does have a fussy day because we just are not used to it at all. In this video, Parker is in his swing because he was being crabby and didn't even want to be held. He started being a grouch in the swing too, so I tossed his soft baseball rattle onto his lap. As soon as I tossed it, he started giggling so much! So, I did it again, and again...he thought it was so funny. He found it even more hilarious if the ball hit him in the face! It was the highlight of my day...I hope it makes you smile too!



The last two days, because of an unruly 4 month old and taxes have been packed full of stress! I am just not used to Parker crying while going down for naps...come to think of it, Parker barely cries at all. If you are not familiar with the sound of a crying baby, especially your own (the sound that can tug at your heartstrings and make you want to pull your hair out all-in-one) it is a very tough noise to take for even 20 minutes! It didn't help at all that Travis and I were working on getting our taxes done at the same time. I remember doing our taxes last year, and it was nothing compared to this! It is hard enough to make sure that you put everything in right, but this year we had to worry about how to put in Trav's EWU loan & scholarship information, our new dependent info, and W-2s (1 for Travis and 2 for me). I was so frustrated by the end of it that I had to walk away. With Parker crying in the background I could not focus enough to even attempt to get them done. It finally got to the point where I was so frustrated that Travis sent me off to take a shower and de-stress while he finished them up. When I got out the taxes were almost done and there was a margarita waiting for me on the counter!
