Ben's 1st Birthday

Benji is one year old! This was at his birthday party.

At the party Parker experienced balloons for the first time. He loved them! I didn't really get any great pictures of it, but he just kept reaching for them :-)

Parker also got to meet Great Grandpa and Grandma Little at Bennys birthday party. I'm really sad that I didn't get a good picture of them holding him. We get to see them again on Easter next week, so I will have my camera in hand all weekend!

This is a bench that Great Grandpa and Grandma brought home from Arizona for Benny and Parker. Parker loved modeling on it for us :-) We got LOTS of fun pictures. Here are just a few. We will get some pictures with Benny too next weekend!

I had Parker in his swing and he started fussing a little so I brought his big tiger out from Uncle Chris and Aunt Jean. He was kissin' on it for a while and then I decided to have him ride it. It was so funny! He loved it! (I LOVE this picture!)

A picture with Daddy. Ty accidentally got whipped with a towel in the eye, and this is after his appointment so he had to keep his glasses on. Ty did put his glasses on Parker, and it was absolutely adorable, but Parker kept pulling them off before I could take a picture. Oh well, I will definitely get a picture of it before long :-) (In case you are wondering, Tyler's eye is fine...another miracle in our lives!)

Eating Grandma Little's Lion.

Parker has a fascination with pop cans right now, so I thought that if I let him chew on one then maybe he would stay on his tummy longer without getting mad. It sorta worked, but I think he was getting mad that he wasn't getting anything out of it. He is really smart!

Lately, one of Parker's favorite things is pulling blankets over his face--NOT a good thing! So I started saying, "Take it off," and he would pull it down. It has become a game now. This is a video that we took of him playing it with us. Now I just say, "where's Parker?" and he pulls it down. It is so much fun!

Parker's first real time eating rice cereal! We gave it to him a week ago, but he only took a couple bites and then got upset. Tyler's mom recommended that we thin out the cereal more. I did that tonight, and he LOVED it! Here is the proof! Our little boy is growing up so fast!! I guess we need a high chair now!
