Parker's First Christmas Part Two

Christmas at Nana's! Parker had a great time hanging out with all of his cousins. He was able to see two of her other great grandparents and his uncles! What a great Christmas it has been.

Now we are headed to Grammie and Grampy's and then Great Aunt Elizabeth's on Saturday!

Parker's First Christmas Part One

Christmas for Parker started on Christmas Eve Eve with Grammie and Grampy coming over for some Mexican food! No gifts just good times with family.

Christmas Eve we went to lunch with Pappy at Guady's (no pictures). Then we headed to Great Grand mama's and Great Granddaddy's. We had a great time with Aunt Bridget, Matt, Granddad, Annette and Great Grandparents.

Christmas morning with mom and dad was awesome. We are working on videos to upload to the blog! This was the big present from mom and dad. Still a little small to enjoy it. Parker also received lots of clothes and a few other small toys. Uncle Ben and Aunt Courtney sent books and gift cards for mom and dad to have a date night. Aunt Courtney must check the blog out a lot because she sent books and a book pet!

After Parker's morning nap Grammie and Grampy showed up with Guitar Hero for mom and dad. I even have my own little guitar to play along!

More to come after I have Christmas with Nana and the rest of the family!

Snow Day!

What would you do on a snow day? Well Parker thinks you should lay around on your snowflake blanket in your snowman pajamas. We were lazy all day! It was great!

Parker went to the mall last Friday to get his picture taken with Santa. He was getting fussy when it was finally our turn so this was the best one we could get.

Talking with his buddy Seamus. You should have heard them cooing at each other.

A few more pics

Just being cute!

Some quality time with the dogs.


My first Christmas gift at Pingsgiving Dinner. Thanks Riley and Gabe.

Getting some head control! Parker rolled over (from tummy to back) at the babysitters!

This is the burp face : )

Yeah I'm handsome.

Hmmm.... what is this new seat for?

Not sure I like this stuff!

Yeah I think we will wait awhile on the cereal. It was not a hit. Scott said it tasted like cardboard.

New Milestones

Parker is doing a lot of new stuff. He is talking to us like crazy. It is so neat to watch his face light up when he see Scott and I. He is almost ready to laugh but it is still more of a long coo. He has also started blowing raspberries which he thinks is hilarious.

During tummy time Parker lifts his head up a lot more and has started looking around. We tried out the bumbo the other day but it is still a little soon for it. He can hold his head up for a few seconds but his neck still gets tired.

The other day Parker discovered HE can control where his hands goes. He really enjoyed "hitting" mommy in the face and grabbing her mouth. : )

Parker enjoyed watching College Football Rivalry weekend with mom!

During bath time Parker is hysterical to watch. He moves his arms like a windmill and kicks his feet HARD. When he accidentally splashed himself in the face he looks at us like we did it.

We had our first cold last week but survived. The worst part is using the "booger getter". Parker learned how to push mom away when she tries to suck his nose.

Well that is the basic run down of Parker's latest! Thanks for checking in on us : )

Parker's First Thanksgiving

Parker had a great first Thanksgiving. On Thursday he spent his first Thanksgiving at Grammie and Grampy's. He met LOTS of people! Great Aunts Barbara, Nancy and Elizabeth, Great Uncles Kenny, David and Randall. TONS of cousins: Scott, Amy, Corey, Hannah, Jacbo, Sarah Beth, Claire, Michael. Sorry if I left anyone out! That night he went to his Nana's to spent time with Aunt Jennifer, Cousins Nick and Elizabeth, Uncle Robbie and his Great Mamaw and Great Papaw. Whew! What a day.

The next day we went to see Great Grandmama, Great Granddaddy, Granpa, Annette, Aunt Bridget, Matt, Great Aunt Kathy, Great Uncle Kelly and Sarah. WOW! Talk about a family filled weekend!

Later on Black Friday Mommy and Grammie tackled some shopping. Parker gave all the shoppers in Old Navy an earful with his shrill cry when nap time hit right while mommy was trying to check out. After a little soothing in the truck Parker slept through most of the mall shopping but woke up to enjoy a bottle in the food court.

Everyone Loved Him

We had our annual get together (sans a few missed friends) the other night. It was Parker's debut and of course everyone loved him. It is hard to believe last year four of my friends weren't married and I didn't have a baby. Now everyone is married, I have a baby, Lynnette is expecting and I have a strong suspicion that there will be more expecting mommies in the near future.

Let the Holidays Begin!

The Christmas Season is officially beginning! Yesterday we took a holiday picture with the five grandkids for Pappy's Christmas card. All in all it turned out great. We actually were able to get all five kiddos in one place long enough to snap a couple of pictures.

Parker looking like a little man! He fell asleep waiting for the pictures to begin!
