{Mama Moment} Pianist in the Making
From the time he was just one month old, Parker has been a huge fan of his kick 'n play piano. He's spent countless hours on that mat, kicking away at the keys to the point where I have every single tune completely memorized. It's where he first learned to grab at...
{Parker Weekly} 23 Weeks Old
I almost can't handle the cuteness that is Parker's 23-week photo. The thigh rolls, his little hand waving, and that almost smile...kills me. Sometimes I just can't comprehend how lucky we are to have this adorable boy in our lives. We're also lucky that Parker is a...
{Parker Weekly} 22 Weeks Old
This might be my favorite weekly photo yet. I know I'm 100% biased, but this baby is quite possibly the cutest creature I've ever laid eyes on. My heart seriously leaps every morning when I pick him up out of his crib. Not a bad way to start my day. Occasionally...
#AMTA13 is Next Week…What!?
I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow November arrived and that means it's almost conference time. It will be my 5th year attending the American Music Therapy Association's national conference, which is in Jacksonville, FL this time around. I'll be arriving on...
{Parker Weekly} 21 Weeks Old
Guess who is 5 months old?! Parker is becoming quite the mature little man -- getting older, gaining weight (almost up to 14 pounds), rolling all over the place, and working on sitting up by himself. But lucky for me, despite getting bigger he still loves snuggling up...
Video Download: 10 Days of Thanksgiving
My first Thanksgiving post of the season! I love, love, love this time of year and the songs and activities I have to go along with it. The 10 Days of Thanksgiving is my favorite of all, which is why I blog about it year after year. This time around, I decided to do...
{Mama Moment} First Favorite Song
Since the day we brought him home from the hospital, Parker has been exposed to lots of music. (Shocker, right!?) I've sung him all the traditional children's songs -- it took me a month to be able to get through "You Are My Sunshine" without crying, thanks to those...
Roly Poly
Parker rolled over onto his belly for the first time almost exactly two months ago, but it wasn't until this week that he showed any interest in rolling onto his back. While he was playing on his piano mat the other day, I noticed that he was attempting it, so of...
{Parker Weekly} 20 Weeks Old
The first thing I noticed when I looked at Parker's 20 week photo was how chunky those thighs are getting! He's nowhere near a "chunky monkey" but it seems like he adds a new little roll every day. Yay! This week has been a big improvement over last -- mostly because...
