This is our crazy man! He had his one year appointment today, I can't believe it! He is starting to slow down in growth but his head is growing steady. =) He is 60% for height/weight and 90% for headsize. Parker is very close to walking he will take steps in between toys or chairs. He has walked 10 steps to Mommy's arms. He is enjoying trying new foods, his new favorite is pizza. Geoff and I have held strong with the sweets. He will get a piece of cake on his birthday. We have slowly started the transition to milk and we will turn him around soon in his carseat. I feel like he's turning 18 with all these new freedoms, make it stop! This has been the best year of our lives and we look forward to many more. Happy New Year!

Our first Christmas with Parker is everything we could have hoped for. We had a great time with family and friends. Parker enjoyed opening his gifts, especially the wrapping paper and boxes to play with. Geoff and I had the best gift of all, being with Parker!

What haven't we done in December! Got our tree, Zoo lights, Sat on Santa's lap, Visited new cousin Issac, got together with family, babysat the Cousy's, Christmas Parties and took our Christmas picture. Phew! We are having a busy but fabulous month. Parker took 5 steps this week, he is on his way to walking. Geoff and I can't wait to be with Parker Christmas morning. Merry Christmas, may Christ be the focus of your day!

Let Christmas begin! Parker got in the spirit with his reindeer ears, they lasted on his head about 1 more second. Parker got his 1st ornament, a little Santa Ducky. Parker is going to go crazy when we get our tree, we will have to keep it in a different room otherwise we will have a Parker ornament.

Sunriver was a blast! The sun was out and snow was on the ground. Sunriver has a tree lighting ceremony at the Lodge and Santa comes. We took Parker he did great, when the lights went on and the fireworks went off Parker started to cry but he quickly realized how cool everything was and liked all the lights. Parker loved his first Thanksgiving dinner, he had turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and cranberries. All the cousins had a lot of fun playing together. Avery and Parker had their moments, they are going to love and fight like sister and brother. Parker is starting to show signs of walking, he will stand alone by himself for a little while then fall. He is babbling more and more. He is going to be one before we know it! He is soo much fun right now, he laughs to himself and is such a happy guy, we are blessed!
