Catching Up!

Okay, we have had so much going on. Parks is going to be 8 months old on Friday and he is so busy! He crawls all over, pulls himself up on all the furniture and everything else that is sturdy enough for that and is beginning to stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. He is very smart and can definately be a pill at times but is a joy and really is so much fun. When Jay isn't at work he is with us at home and we play with Parks all day. Parks isn't a great nappper as he doesn't want to miss anything going on so at the end of the day Jay and I are exhausted, but it is amazing to see how much he can learn and do in one day. Jay got in to the Paramedic Program at Crafton HIlls College in Yucaipa and we are so we are really excited for that big step towards a full time, with benefits and good pay job for him in the future. He will start August 23rd and will have 3 months of in classroom stuff, then clinicals then field. He will be very busy going to school 4 days a week from 9am to 6 pm and then trying to pick up shifts for work as often as he can. It will be a tough 10 months or so but well worth it since Paramedics make so much more in the long run. Parks and I hang out at home a lot, but try to get out when we can. I have been trying to teach him some new words but so far he has, Hi, Mama, Dada, Papa, No No and then then regular babbling stuff. He is trying to learn up but it comes out pup or bup so we aren't counting that. We are so blessed and are so grateful for our families and how they have helped us and are always supporting us in our decisions and everything we do. Hope everyone has an awesome day and I will try to get some good pictures up soon! For Memorial Day weekend I am having a HUGE gagare sale at our house on Edna Street so come stop by if you are in the area!
