Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!!!!

We had our first family outing to the zoo on the 23rd. It was a beautiful day on Friday plus it was Ryan's b-day so we went to celebrate. Although Parker didn't know what was going on he loved being outdoors. I love this picture because it looks like Parker is really interested in the animal behind the glass. He was very well behaved and only cried once when we were looking at the elephants. I guess he thought they were big and scary, or maybe mommy just made him mad!







Our neighborhood also recently had a fall festival. Typically Ryan and I never participate in the neighborhood events, but now that we have Parker we thought we should make an appearance. They had the cutest little pumpkin patch where we could take Parker's picture. It was tough since he can't quite sit up on his own so we had to be really quick because he would only hold the pose for a few seconds before he would fall over. We were trying to wedge him between pumpkins, but it didn't always work. He is such a wiggle worm!!

Little Aggie Fan

Parker got all decked out to watch his first Aggie football game. He is going to have to grow into the ball cap, but he sure does look good in Maroon.

With the cooler weather, we were finally able to take Parker out into the backyard to play. He loves the outdoors and anytime he has a crying fit, it soothes him.

The First of Many Firsts

Parker has accomplished a huge task, rolling over. We are proud to announce that Parker has rolled over for the first time, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so amazing to watch him figure out how to do something on his own. You would think something so small would not be such a big deal, but it is HUGE. He was on his stomach and acting a little fussy because it was time to eat and all of the sudden he shifted his weight and rolled on his side. At that point in time I was sitting next to him cheering him on, and then he mustered up enough strength to finish it off and rolled on his back. I was thinking that maybe it was done accidentally but he did it two more times after that and I got the 3rd successful attempt on video. Wow, he is getting so big!!!!!
