Papa Steve and his big boy!

  Some Papa Steve and Parker time!

Parker’s 6 Month Pictures

Parker was a total ham when it came time to having his 6 month pictures taken.  There were so many great shots it was difficult to pick out which ones to buy!   

He is such a big boy now!

Splish, splash he was taking a bath!

  Parker loves taking baths.  We bought him a bath seat so he can sit well in the tub and play with all his toys.  Makes it a lot easier for Mommy and Daddy too because now that he moves so much it was getting quite hard to keep him still in the tub so we can get him clean!

Ski to Sea Parade

We took Parker to the Ski to Sea Parade.  He had fun until he fell asleep! The happy family.  Parker can’t take his eyes off the parade!

He was very happy once I put him in the Baby Bjorn.  Then he could see everything!

Look at that Parker!

And the next thing you know…little man is fast asleep!

And there is nothing that will wake a sleeping little man!  Not even sirens on a fire truck!

Too stinking sweet!

He’s a big boy now!

All of a sudden Parker started feeding himself his bottle.  Makes it a lot easier when we have things to do!  Just make the bottle then give it to the kid, he can handle the rest!

 

SHHHH Maya! Baby’s sleeping!

Here is a too cute picture of Parker Sleeping.  He holds tight to his lovey blanket!  So sweet!

Visit to Centralia

In May we went to Centralia because Uncle Tiny and Austin were up from California and they were throwing a birthday party for Austin.  We traveled down there Friday night and met Jeff, Gina, Alexis and Andrew.  We all stayed at the same hotel and had fun spending time together.  On Saturday we all went to Fort Borst Park in Centralia for a picnic and the birthday party.  This was the first time that all the family had been together in a long time.  It was great being able to see each other and eat some good food.  I had great intentions of taking a lot of photos but then I totally forgot.  Oh well, here are the few I took…

 

Of course the exersaucer went with us!

Such a happy boy!

OOH! A camera!

Alexis insisted we go swimming so I stopped and bought a bathing suit (because of course I didn’t pack one), then we discover the heated pool isn’t heated at all and the hot tub was way too hot.  We tried but Parker’s teeth instantly started chattering and he was to have none of the pool!

So instead of swimming in the bitterly cold pool we sat in a chair, Mommy drank a glass of wine and we commemorated the moment with a picture.

Didn’t want to let him crawl all over the hotel floor so he had play time on the bed.

Too stinkin’ cute!

Cousin Jeff with Andrew and Parker

On the way home we stopped at The Cheesecake Factory because it was Mother’s day and Mommy wanted some cheesecake.  To keep Parker entertained we let him play with a spoon.

We thought we too the spoon back from him only to find it in his car seat when we got home!

Bliss BBQ to kick off Summer

  Every summer we spend a lot of time at the Bliss house.  They live on Lake Whatcom and always have people over for BBQs and playing on the lake.  There is always good food, good entertainment and good company.  Needless to say, Parker had a lot of fun at his first ever Bliss BBQ.  Also needless to say, his exersaucer went to which ensured the rest of us had a lot of fun as well!

Loving the exersaucer!

Still not too sure about the grass.

Papa Steve and Parker time.  Too sweet!

Rain, Rain, Go Away…

We’re one week into May now and yup, it’s raining. So naturally, Little Man & Me are spenind fun, quality time in doors today. We were at Target @ 8:00am, and not surprisingly we were the youngest people there by a conservative 50+ years. No joke. And what did we find when we got there? They were out of our formula brand of choice. Which this week is Emfamil Lipil.  This meant we had to trek it on over to Wal-Mart. We’re back now and ready to take on the day. Laundry, cleaning, playing. Here’s a few pics of Parker rocking out in his ExerSaucer. Loves this thing.

Saturday Morning…

Saturday’s here once again. Unfortunately it’s not as sunny this AM as it has been the past few days, so Lisa took advantage of the situation by reading to Parker a few books. Parker loves being read to. It is also worth noting that he also likes to try to put the books in his mouth, we hope he grows out of this. Here’s a few pics of Mommy reading to Parker.
