Like Father, Like Son

I'm trying to get caught up on sharing the news in the Parrish household, but there's just too much going on, so instead, I'll share this great photo (and a few others) that we took of Evan's new adventures in beverage consumption.


No, he didn't REALLY drink the WHOLE bottle of Cheerwine (ok, not any) but his Daddy was proud of him for wanting to!

Look, Mommy! I can hold my sippy cup all by myself! I'm SO BIG!

I LOVED my first taste of Krispy Kreme.

Like I said, like father, like son... loves his Cheerwine and his Krispy Kreme. Lucky for all of us, he also loves his oatmeal, fruits and veggies.

I have a tooth!

Exciting news in the realm of babydom. Evan has his first tooth! Bottom right incisor! It's all very exciting.

We've been expecting this for quite some time, and it's finally here! I came home to check the status and stuck my finger in Evan's mouth to feel his little gums and there it was! A sharp little tooth right on the bottom!

In other Parrish household news, Robin & I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary tomorrow (Sept. 10th). We'll be celebrating at Macaroni Grille, thanks to our parents (all of them)!

Here's our little guy at his first church picnic!

Thanks for the food, Mommy! I LOVE you!

Pancakes!

Ok, we're getting a little adventurous in the food tasting now. We're not going crazy or anything, but the other night, we went out to IHOP, and Evan got to try pancakes for the first time. Not syrup drenched pancakes. Just the bread part. He got a tiny bit of syrup right at the end. Again, nothing crazy.

Here's a minute long video that we took of him 'enjoying' the pancakes. Even with the faces, he did keep asking for more, so we're pretty sure he liked them.

Our little giggle box

This is one of the cutest things... EVER! He does take on a little maniacal look, but he's a cute little maniac!

Oh, he's up to SOMETHING, you can tell...

Our little guy had quite the night on Saturday into Sunday. I won't complain too much, because he really is a good sleeper, but this night... he was not.

At 2:15am, our little boy woke up and promptly started screaming at the top of his lungs. Mommy got up with him, though Daddy was also awake, and tried to calm him down for about 45 minutes. When I couldn't take it any longer, Robin got up... and it was ON. Daddy would not be defeated, but Evan's will proved stronger than Mommy's AND Daddy's combined.

All he actually wanted was to lay down in our bed and sleep the rest of the night. There was nothing WRONG with him. He just wanted to scream for 2 hours straight until he got his way.

Bless his little heart. We are parents UNITED! He won't get away with it again... we really hope.

You can tell he's up to something in this photo, can't you? He's plotting... I just know it...

Evan's Learning to Drive

Ok, not quite, but he does have a little Jeep that Ben & Diana let him use. It's just one more thing to keep him entertained. And entertained he is... take a look:

Icky Icky Icky

My son is easily amused, as demonstrated by this little video I took with my cell phone. I can pretty much say anything I want to him, over and over, and he finds it totally amusing.

Now, I can't use the same material more than once. He's a very demanding audience. He must have new material every time, but, as you can see from this video, the simple words, 'Icky, Icky, Icky,' repeated over and over are enough to keep him giggling.
