Light at the end of the tunnel...

So, it's been a while. Lee has been studying for finals for what seems like the past year but was only about a month. I haven't had a whole lot of time to do anything on the computer because Parker's mine when I get home so Lee can hibernate. And he's had the computer the whole time!! He did finally finish last Thursday, and we're so excited. He has two clerkships for the summer. The first part will be with Baker Donelson and the second with Bradley Arant. We're grateful for the experience he'll have and for the money he'll make!! I have 10 more days of school before I'm out for the summer. We're in the middle of senior project presentations right now, which is exhausting at times and so rewarding at others. It's neat to see these kids do something they didn't even know was possible. They come out crying a lot, and we cry right along with them. But my feet hurt every day when I get home from standing in heels all day. I'm enjoying it, but I'll be glad when it's all over and I can be at home all day with my sweet boy.

Parker is not such a baby anymore. I found myself crying about it a few weeks ago, which is so crazy. I used to say I couldn't wait for him to be big enough to really do things with like play games and ball. But now I just want him to stay a baby. It's happening so fast! We've had lots of things going on in the past month. He had his second round of shots, went to his first baseball game, had his first cold, and started sleeping in his crib. I realize we're a little behind on the crib. It was just so easy to find excuses to leave him in our room! I've posted lots of pictures below because it's been so long. Hopefully I'll be a little more consistent with finals behind us. I'm sorry I've been so out of touch. I haven't looked at anyone's blog, so I feel out of the loop. But I'm hoping to get caught up this week!

Parker loves his swing. He just laughs the whole time!

This one makes it easy to see how big he's getting. We're going through clothes really fast because he's getting so tall!!

Parker has been on a few shopping escapades with Alyssa and me. We have set out more than once in the morning and not come back until late at night. He's always a trooper and hangs right in there. And sweet Alyssa is such a great person to go with. She hauls him around just like I do, so I'm able to get some shopping done, too. We have a really good time and normally spend way too much money because we convince each other that we "need" it!

This is soooo redneck. I bought these shorts because Lee has a pair just like them that he likes to wear around the house. I took pictures of both of them in them, but Lee made me swear not to post them. You can imagine!

Favorite thing to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Parker loves to cuddle up right next to Lee and take a nap.

This is what Parker has been doing lately when he wakes up in the morning. He'll wake up and look around, and before we can turn around, he's back to sleep with his hand over his eyes. It's so funny! I realize his head is hitting the top of the bassinet. We did finally move him out!

Parker went to his first crawfish boil a few weeks ago. We were in Pontotoc when Lee's brother had a crawfish boil at his parents' house, and he was nice enough to let us stick around. Parker wasn't very impressed with the crawfish, but we're sure he will be one day!! Here are some fun pictures from the weekend.

Parker wasn't loving the live crawfish.

Parker even had his own chair!

Pop and Parker had a nice long conversation.

Gran and Parker cuddled up next to the fire to keep warm.
