Disneyland!

My blogging is so far behind...

In September somehow the entire family decided to join in on Heather and Brett's trip to Disneyland. We're sure glad we did. It was just over the weekend but we had a ton of fun.

Halloween Time at Disneyland!

Thanks Heather and Brett for letting us ambush your trip!

My b-day

I celebrated my 24th birthday with the fam. We had a great time. Here are some pics.

Scott and Parker

I got a lot of bling.

Here we are playing the "What If?" game. It's a ton of fun.

I had a lot of candles to blow out.

Thanks family! We had a good time!

All Parker All The Time

At seven months Parker started to learn how to crawl. He gets easily distracted by the camera so I had to put my phone in front of it to capture his crawling skills.

Right around the same time he learned how to pull himself up. Shane bought him this awesome toy which he LOVES.

8 MONTHS:
Our little baby loves his naps. I had to get a sleeping picture because it's been a while.

This was after he woke up.
"Mom, can we turn the flash off please?"


"Mom... MOM!"

Ready to be out of his crib.

REALLY ready.


This was last Sunday. He was trying to help Dad make lunch.


Playing around with Mom at night.

I love this picture because you can see his beautiful green eyes.

He likes to kiss the baby in the mirror. =)

Showing off his standing skills.


"What?"



Here's Parker crawling just a few nights ago. It's crazy how fast he is now. He was going to pull himself up on the wall, but then remembered he was showing off for the camera.

He just recently discovered his wrists. Here he is showing off his rattle.

A new development, which I'll soon have to capture on camera, is that Parker is trying to stand by himself without holding on to anything. He can stand for 10-20 seconds before trying to grab back on to something or fall on his rear.

Hope you've enjoyed the Parker updates!!!

4th of July!

Before we headed out for fireworks.

Sporting our flag tees.

Dad and Parker

Parker and Mom. He was mesmorized with the fireworks. Look at his eyes.

Happy to be home. What a great smile. (I love his silly toes)

We love this baby.

Happy 4th!

6 months!

Parker is 6 months old! Time flies! I'm constantly amazed at how fast he is growing and how quickly he is learning!

The other day Parker thought it would be hilarious to poop up the back of his outfit. It was so bad that I had to wash him off in the sink. I think that was his plan all along. He loves the water.

You can barely see in this picture, but Parker has this little tuft of hair in the back of his head. It was cute for a while, but then it started bugging me. So he had his first hair cut and is still as bald as ever.

He loves his binkie. When I was changing his diaper he found the second and decided that one wasn't enough. He cracks me up.

He makes the funniest faces sometimes.


About a week ago Parker learned how to scoot on his tummy. That's when he discovered the underside of the coffee table.

I was trying to upload some pictures of him scooting... but the computer didn't like that idea. I'll try again soon.

5 Months

Bath time. After Parker's bath the other day I left the room quickly to grab something. I came back to find him like this:

Apparently he was wondering where mom went.

Parker has finally learned to roll around. He started off on his blanket and ended up here.

As of May 24th Parker is 5 months old. Here he is commemorating the day.

He likes his fingers.

He's already grown out of his old sandals. Here are the new ones. I bought these for him when I was still pregnant. I can't believe he can already fit into them!

Here he is learning to sit up with the boppy. He can now do it by himself for a minute... before he gets distracted and toppels over.

We found him this cute swim suit the other day and on Tuesday he was able to wear it on his first play date!
These are his new friends; Caleb and Kellan.

He fell asleep yesterday morning and I wrapped him in a cocoon. I just had to take a picture. Yes, he still sleeps with one arm up. =)
As you can tell we love our little (maybe not so little any more) Parker. He makes us laugh all the time and we love spending time with him.


Hope you enjoy the pics!

Recent Updates

Parker has been loving his jumper now that his feet can finally touch the ground. He'll last a good 20 minutes before he gets bored.

About two weeks ago he learned how to roll onto his stomach. Now he just flips his little over over like it's no big deal. Next to learn: how to turn back over.



He does this silly thing when if you smile at him he turns away all shy. That's what happened with this picutre. You can tell he's smiling too.

I found a gift card for a hair cut in my purse that expires this month.. so I used it. Here's the verdict:
You can tell that Parker is thrilled that I was still taking pictures.
