2 Months Old

Today Parker turned 2 months old. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is definitely smiling a lot more and is also staying awake a lot more through the day. He likes to play with his hands and thinks they are fun to suck on. His favorite toy right now is the floor gym. He likes to look at himself in the little mirror and make everything swing back and forth. Here are just a few pictures from his "photo shoot"! :)







I'm going to get you!!

Floor Gym

So today we went and bought Parker a floor gym so he can have something to look at when he is laying on his back. Turns out he just loves it!! He's been just staring at the three toys for at least 15 minutes and still going strong. There is a little mirror hanging in the middle and a fish with a little rattle in the middle of him hanging on one side and the other side is a little fish that plays music. Then there is a ball hanging down towards his feet that has a little rattle ball inside it, but he's still a little too short to reach that yet. He is kicking his legs and has even touched the toys and made them swing, it's very cute and I'm so glad he likes it so much. It can transform into something to allow for tummy time so he can have something to look at and then when he starts crawling it turns into a little tunnel that he can crawl through. Here is a video of him playing with his new toy!!!

Look Alikes

Basically everyone that has seen Parker in person or just pictures of him say that he is a "mini me" so I just thought that I would post a couple baby pictures of me so you can compare. I do sort of see it now that I look at these pictures...he definitely has my nose and I'm thinking he has my eyes too. But I'll let you decide. The first one is obviously my newborn picture and the other one of me is when I was 8 months old.

Grrr....

Last week we went and bought Parker his Halloween costume. We found the cutest little tiger costume at Walmart. Well I didn't want to take pictures of him in it too early, so I at least waited until it was October to post them. We originally bought a newborn size, but it fit him just perfect and didn't have much room to grow into it, so we went back last night to exchange it for a 0-3 month size, which happens to be a little big still. Here are a few pictures of him trying it on. There is a tail attached to the back of it too. Hopefully by Halloween he will have grown into it!

Cooing

Here is yet another video of Parker. I have decided that videos are a fun way for our family who is far away to be able to see how Parker is changing and growing. In this video, he was "laughing" I guess you could say and making some other cute cooing noises...It's so nice that he is such a content and happy baby, it makes our lives a little easier and it's a lot of fun when he is in a good mood!

Bath Time

For my baby shower at work, someone gave me this really cute bath robe. So we wanted to try it out. Parker is liking his baths a lot more than he did at the very beginning, which is nice. Isn't it just adorable??!!

His expression just says it all...

He loves his daddy!

Rolling Over

The other day I put Parker on his stomach so he could work on strengthening his neck and arm muscles. Well, he decided that he didn't like being on his tummy so much so he decided to do something about it...by rolling over! I know you're probably thinking that he's way too young to be starting to roll over. Well he has now done it like 5 times!!! The first few times I didn't have my camera, but today when he did it I was able to get proof of him actually rolling over. He hasn't rolled over from back to front yet though and he doesn't roll from front to back every time, so I think I have a little more time before he starts rolling all over the place!

Just ignore my excitement in the video...it was just a little over the top, I think anyways!

Play Time

This morning after Parker had been fed and changed he was in the happiest mood. He was smiling and making noises and kicking his little legs for the longest time. It was so cute, I just had to take some video for all to see!! Enjoy :)

Blessing Day

Well today was Parker's blessing. My step-mom and dad bought him this adorable little white tux to wear. It made him look so handsome. Chris's family was all there, except for his sister and one of his brothers. All of my aunts and cousins and my grandparents were also there, which was very nice. My sister, Ashley and her boyfriend were also there. It was fun to see everyone again. Here are some pictures that were taken today....

Craigos

Today is my sister's 13thd Birthday. Wow sis, you are growing up so fast, I just can't believe it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABRIELLE!! :) Last night my family took us out to Craigo's to celebrate her birthday. It was a lot of fun and the food is so good there! For those of you who don't know, Craigo's is a pizza place with really really good pizza.

All of us waiting patiently for our pizzas.

For dessert we got Cookie Monsters, which are totally amazing. They are a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, carmel and chocolate syrup on top. We all loved it!!
