1st Haircut!

Parker got his first haircut today! We went to the girl (her name is Brandy too) who cuts my hair - so, he actually got to go to a "real" salon! It was hilarious and I got lots of great pictures. She got 3 great curls and I have those in a little container. Before we went to get Parker's haircut, we ate at Chick-Fil-A to celebrate.

In the chair - ready for the trim! He had his favorite bee toy with him, so that kept him distracted. He actually did really well - he sat in his bumbo seat, and did great!


Here we go - snip, snip, snip!

Bye, bye curls!

A little blow dry to style!

All done!

The finished product - Parker is "officially" a little man!

Thanks Brandy and Studio 301!

Having Fun on My Birthday!

Parker enjoying his birthday gift - his CARS truck. He loves his truck - we push him all over the house. He is getting the hang of moving his feet to make it go.

Parker is 1!!!

Well, we made it - at 12:54pm, Parker officially turned 1 year old!! I can't believe 1 year has already gone by. All my friends told me it would go by really fast and they were right! It has been an awesome year and Brad and I have enjoyed every minute with Parker. He is a sweet boy, who smiles, laughs and giggles a lot. He has a little of both mine and Brad's personality and he has been a great baby! We couldn't imagine our life without Parker and we can't wait to see what the next several years holds for him and our family.

We celebrated with Parker by going to a park close to our house. We put him in the swings and he loved it! He just smiled and giggled the whole time. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad Parker enjoyed the swings.

We took Parker for a ride in his new wagon. This wagon has a fold-up back to lean on and cup holders!! It's also deep, so Parker sits in this wagon, like he's sitting in a chair. When I was little, my red wagon was metal and short, so if I tipped - I fell out and definitely no cup holders!

Parker and his grandmas.

Parker riding another birthday present - his CARS truck. He really likes it. It sings, lights up, and has all kinds of fun sounds.

This was the day after his birthday party. We went to church, then after church, we went to eat at Cracker Barrel. Parker was doing fine - he was eating the rest of his breakfast, a fried apple, and some hashbrowns. After he took his last bite, we all noticed his eyes were getting heavy, then he started bobbing his head a little. We were getting ready to go, then we look over and we notice that he had literally fallen asleep in the highchair! OMG - it was so funny! Luckily I had my camera, so we snapped a few pictures. Evidently, the party on Saturday wore him out!

He was so tired that even when we picked him up from the highchair and carried him all the way through Cracker Barrel and to the car - he never opened his eyes!
