La La La

Parker is becoming such a character. He always has something to 'say.' He is usually talking, making strange noises, singing, dancing, or reading. There is never a dull moment with this boy. He just got his 11th tooth this last week, has been sleeping restlessly, and has this 'tantrum' thing down pat. If anyone walks away, shuts a door behind them, goes downstairs, takes a toy, sippy, phone, shoe, ANYTHING... we throw a fit. It's great. Enjoy the jabbering...

The Quicker Picker Upper

It is amazing to me how a child can be entertained by the simplest things in life. Exhibit A: Bounty Paper Towels. Parker spent a good 20 minutes playing with the package. He pushed it everywhere, picked it up, slammed it down, and bit it. Yes, bit it. He bites and chews like a dog. He still is not allowed to have his board books since he chews those to bits. However, I think most of us would admit - whatever keeps him happy.

My Newborn

Since this is Parker's birthday month I thought I would share some moments from a year ago. I amazingly stumbled upon this video while sifting through his newborn pictures. Preston took this while the nurses gave Parker a bath about 2am. I was back in recovery waiting for them to return. I remember viewing the video one time, but was in a fog of course. So, when I watched it the other night I ended up in tears. Even though it's only a few seconds long - it was long enough to flood my mind with glorious memories of my tiny little Parker only hours after his first breath.
