Sleeping: I remember when Porter was six months he slept very well. Parker has been so inconsistent partly because she has been sick off and on.  Although the past two nights she slept eight hours straight! This is big time for her.  Ever since she went to bottles and since I went back to work we have only had a few nights where she has slept past four hours straight.

Likes: 

-Current favorite thing to play with is any plastic bag.  

-Her daddy! She loves Drew and Porter. When either around she smiles the biggest grin I have ever seen. 

-Holding a taggie when she sleeps.

-Her bottle warmed.  She will not drink it cold for me.

Dislikes:

-When mommy leaves the room.

-Getting into her car seat.

-Wearing her bow.  It is a battle to keep that thing on. 

-Being changed on the changing table.

Milestones:

-We are mobile! Parker crawls short distances.  She has not discovered that crawling could change her world.  Currently it is more of a convenience when she really wants a toy.

-First ear infection

-Celebrated the Royals winking the World Series!!

-Added the word DaDa to her vocabulary. 

-Started signing "more" and "all done."

-Pulling herself up on all tables and in her crib. 

Last year we went to game two of the World Series but this year we did not think it was something we could afford with choosing to go to Disney in December. 

The night we won (game 5) Porter had a fever so we put him to bed on time.  He woke up around 10:30pm during the 9th inning.  (This was the comeback inning.)  I could hear the tv while trying to comfort him back to sleep, so he joined us in the living room to finish out the game.  

This was right before we won! I hope you like those earrings...they were my rally earrings I put on in the 9th. You're welcome!
Let's just say a week later I am still finding confetti in some pretty random places, but it was so worth it.
Here we are on our way to the parade.
We got there pretty early (3 hours to be exact) and staked out a spot that we could see both the parade and the celebration.
Here is what our view looked like when the parade started...it was estimated that 800,000 people attended the celebration.  I'm pretty sure most of them ended up in front of us.
We ended up leaving before the celebration started.  There were too many people in one spot.  With two little ones I just wanted to be out of the crowd and in a spot where my cell phone had reception.  I know, first world problems but it was all about the experience and memories we made, but if we win next year I will watch the parade from the comfort of my home.

This is the best one I got of both looking my direction.
Parker was a cupcake.
Sadly I was sick all day with the stomach bug on Halloween.
