Parker Turns 1!!!!!!!

Can you believe it? My baby boy is now a toddler!!! It is hard to imagine that just last summer Parker was still in my belly. Time just flies by. We celebrated Parker's 1st birthday on Saturday, the 26th. Friends and family came over to the house where we had a cow themed birthday party. We ate, opened presents, and had cake and ice cream. Parker loved the cake part. He ate every last crumb. Parker is so lucky to have such wonderful people who care so much about him. Thanks so much to all who came. Not only were we celebrating his birthday, but I think Ryan and I were proud of ourselves for making it through the first year:)

Parker also got his first haircut a few days before the party. Check out how cool he looks:) His great-grandmother (Memaw) who is a hair dresser cut it and did a great job. He was a real wiggler, but we managed to make it through without any disasters.

I love this picture! Parker and Shelby seem to be becoming better friends. Parker just loves her to death, but Shelby gets annoyed. I can tell he is starting to grow on her. I will catch her licking him and playing with him every so often. That is, when he is not pulling on her ears, nose, or tail.

Summer is Here!

Well Summer is upon us and time to head to the pool. Parker loves the water and it gives us a great way to cool off. With school out, I imagine Lindi and Parker will spend a lot of time splashing around.

As we approach Parker's 1 Year birthday, he now has 8 teeth, is taking up to 5-6 steps on his own and loves to babble. This kid is something else. He is real excited to spend the next 2.5 months with mom.
