15 months



My little Parker is 15 months today!!
Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday he was barely sitting up and just learning to hold things. 
But these past 15 months have been so fun to see him grow and develop his own little opinions and personality. Here are some of my favorite things about my little man at 15 months:

  • As I've said before he loves to dance. He will dance to anything, and he bends his little knees and spins in circles. Sometimes he shakes his arms and tries to sing along. We love it. 
  • He has a little defiant streak- he loves to try to touch the TV as brett is telling him not to. He loves to shake this floor lamp we have back and forth while we run over (scared its going to fall on him!) But most of the time his stubbornness and defiance makes us laugh.
  • He loooves these Gerber baby "meat sticks"- he can eat those all day long. Brett thinks they smell like wet cat food, and they kind of do but Parker loves them so we can't take them away!
  • He's still the toughest little guy I've ever seen. He falls, bumps his head, his mouth, his nose...and just gets up and keeps going with barely a second thought. (I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing!)
  • He has a fake cry that is sooo adorable
  • He can say the noises of a cow, dog, kitty cat, chicken, monkey, pig, sheep, and horse.
  • He can point to his ear, nose, hair, eye, mouth, teeth and his 'sexy body'- haha he just rubs his belly up and down.
  • He can open the front door all by himself, it's always locked now. 
  • He stands up in his crib and talks and yells until we come get him.
  • At night we say, 'go to your room for your bottle' and he'll lead us in, then he'll close the door and walk over to the rocker ready for his bottle. So sweet.
  • He goes down for naps and to sleep at night without a peep. He sleeps 7pm-7am. And takes two naps a day, usually 1 1/2-2 hours each. 
  • Whenever he sees a picture of Mickey Mouse or Elmo he says, "awwww"
I know that's a long list, sorry! :)

My Dancing Boy!!


Parker loves to dance. 
When we walk into the store and music's playing, he dances. 
Rap, country, pop. He doesn't care. 
He's got the beat!

Insta grams!


 I have a lot of old instagrams that I have been meaning to post. I love catching little things Parker does so I can remember them. He is turning into such a big boy! 15 month post coming soon!

he thinks it's the most awesomest thing when he can "help" with the dishes. He usually ends up grabbing knives and other scary utensils so it usually doesn't last long.

My Baby


My baby is almost 14 months!! 
Where has the time gone?!

Tahoe, Round 2

Camping at Sugar Pine Point with the Blodgetts was a blast. It was good to be back in the dirt camping again. Parker ate his fair share of dirt, and was covered in filth 95% of the time- but it was a lot of fun! 
These are a little late~ but still fun to share :)

Snippets of Lake Tahoe Vaca

My families annual Lake Tahoe Vacation was a blast, as usual. This year however, we opted out of usual campground camping to stay in a cabin just around the corner from the campground in the city of Tahoma. 
With the babies, and Nora only being 3 months old- we thought it'd be easier then camping in the dirt and bugs like we usually do. 
And with a busy 1 year old, I'm sure glad we did!

 Parker looooves the water. It didn't matter that it was 60 degrees or lower, he wanted to be in until his little feet were getting purple! :(

Haley 'napping' on the beach....or the lack thereof

 Parker just wanted to be in the water with dad and grandpa
