The new Mr. & Mrs. Bell!!

Yesterday Chris' brother, Jeff, was married to Maria Keller. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple. The weather was just perfect for a wedding...there was pretty much NO wind, which hardley ever happens in Idaho, and it was sunny but not too hot! Parker did amazingly well considering he only had one nap in the morning before we left. Needless to say, he was extremely tired by the time we got home.
Full length shot... A couple of the brothers... Jeff and his Mom and Dad Maria's sister made Parker a bowtie to wear...isn't it the cutest?? The grandparents...

Parker Update

Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything and figured I would just catch up all in one post!

A couple weeks ago Parker was playing with his jeans and we decided to put them on his head and see what he would do. He actually didn't mind at all and liked posing for the camera! I thought he just looked too cute!
Probably about a week ago Chris went in to get Parker up from his nap and when he opened the door, this is what he found...
...He had pulled himself up to a stand!! When he did this we had LITERALLY just lowered his matress a couple days before. Good timing, huh?! Parker has gotten really, really good at scooting all around the apartment and getting into things. Yesterday he decided he wanted to try and get into the entertainment center. As you can see on the right side of the picture, his favorite thing to do is open the door and play with the stuff inside. He almost fully got on the shelf in the middle yesterday, but not quite. We went to Target yesterday and we found the cutest infant hats. We decided we should probably get him one to help keep the sun from burning his little face and ears. He actually really likes wearing it, which is awesome!!! Don't you just love his expression?!!

Escape Artist

Every morning when I get showered and ready for the day I have Parker in the bathroom with me. Usually I have him in his bouncer, but on occasion I have him in his exersaucer. Well today I had him in the bouncer and I had gotten out of the shower and was starting to get dressed in our room when I hear this tiny clunk. I didn't hear any crying so I didn't immediately rush in. I was half-dressed when I thought I should maybe just check on Parker...well when I looked around the corner of the door, I saw this....

...apparently he no longer likes being left alone in his bouncer and decided to get out!! Hey Mom, look what I did!! I figured I would just leave him there while I finished getting dressed because I didn't want him to get out again. However, when I came back, he was in a completely different place.... ...doing this......Sorry the resolution is bad, I took it with my phone. The videos I take on the camera are too big to load on here, oh well. He played with the drawers for a good 5 minutes, until he finally shut his fingers in it. That pretty much ended that game! I guess I will have to either strap him in or put him in his exersaucer from now on. Oh, and did I mention that he now also knows how to open the doors on our entertainment center and pull everything out?!? Man I swear once they know how to scoot or crawl around, nothing stands in their way!! I really need to get on top of the babyproofing thing.

He's a SCOOTIN!!

Parker has been trying to start scooting/crawling, and today he was finally able to do it!! Of course, now I'm in trouble because I haven't baby-proofed anything yet!

Sorry, the resolution isn't so great...it was with my phone.

Sweet Dreams

The other night we layed Parker down on the couch to drink his bottle before going to bed. We looked over at one point and he must have been extremely tired because this is what we found...

Jail Bird

The other day Parker had just woken up and I peeked through the crack in the door and saw this...
He has just started playing with the crib bumper and tries to see if he can see us through the door. I guess we should probably lower his mattress soon since I'm guessing he'll try to pull himself up next!!

Giggly Parker

Earlier this week when my sister, Kelsey, was here she was playing with Parker while I was getting his lunch. He just wouldn't stop laughing, it was kinda funny!

Chris' Birthday

This year Chris' birthday just happened to land on Easter. He turned 27 years old this year, but tried to tell everyone he was 30! I thought everyone wanted to be younger than they really are on their birthday, not older!! Anyways, after Easter dinner we broke out the ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and presents. He got some shirts, money, candy and a movie. All in all, I think he had a pretty good day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!

Easter Sunday

My family was in town this year for Easter. It was great to see them. We are missing my sister, Ashley, and her husband, Kyle, my sister Briana, and her husband, Mike, and Parker...he was worn out from church and was sleeping! It was a beautiful day outside, except for a little wind. HAPPY EASTER!!!
My aunt and uncle decided to bless baby Boyd on Easter since my uncle's parents were in town and all of my aunt's family was together. They didn't want to take him to church however since he's not even a week old so their Bishop and a couple of their friends came over to my Aunt Jennifer's house and blessed him there. It was really nice. They now have 2 boys and 2 girls!

Boyd Gilbert Davis...

...ARRIVES!!! My aunt, Amy, had her baby on April 7 at 11 pm. He was 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. We went and visited Amy and Boyd at the hospital last week and he was just precious. I stll can't believe how tiny he was, and to think that he is just a little bigger than Parker was when he was born. They grow up so fast, it's unbelieveable! Parker will be 8 months in a couple days and he's growing and changing all the time.
