Da-Da!

If I didn't know better, than I would think that Parker was saying this because he knew his daddy was gone all day. Yesterday, Tyler had a 24-hour shift in Idaho Falls, and last night Parker started saying, "Da-da-da-da-da-da..." over and over again. We happened to get it on camera today! He sure does make us smile!

It's fine with me...he said what sounded like "mom" quite a while ago! ;-)

Professional Pictures

I got to get professional pictures taken of us for Mother's Day. They turned out great...here are the ones that we ordered that I scanned into the computer. I thought a certain grandma would enjoy being able to print them out until she gets her copies. ;-)

Parker's new experiences lately

Because the poor kid inherited my skin (eczema), I have to lather his head with his cream. I thought it would be fun the other day to give him a mohawk...so, here is the end result :-) Sure his hair has thinned out, but it is getting long!

We started Parker on real food the day before his 1/2 birthday. On Friday, May 13, Parker had sweet potatoes. He loved them! This is the end result after day 1.

This is the end result after day 2...haha, happy boy!

Parker has been sitting for a little while, but he has started to sit for LONG periods of time. Here is a cute picture, and then I added a video of him sitting too.

One night, Tyler randomly put Parker up against the couch, and he stood there! Once again, a picture and then a video!

Swimming with mommy and daddy! I forgot the camera the first two times we went, but these are pictures from his third time going. He loves this too! (but it is hard to think of something that he doesn't love)

Wearing daddy's goggles...

A new activity with daddy...haha. He now also loves being thrown in the air :-)

Hanging out with Grandpa Little in the park. The weather is finally getting good enough for us to play outside!!

Daddy Time

Parker and Tyler both love Daddy time. Parker just squeals and plays with Ty's hair, and Ty gets a massage! I love having happy boys! haha

Happy Mother's Day!

Tyler spoiled me for my first mother's day. We finally went and got professional pictures taken of Parker. It was so much fun. I was kinda bummed though because I didn't get enough time to feed Parker first, so he wasn't as smiley as usual. The still turned out adorable though :-) We got some of just Ty and I, some family pictures, and some of just Parker. We get to pick up the prints on Friday, but in the meantime I just took pictures of the photos on my computer. Good enough for now...I just wanted to share some!

We got to go to Downey to visit Tyler's family for Mother's Day. We had a lot of fun. Parker loved the big open family room--he was rolling in circles! He is definitely more mobile. I'm going to have to start watching him more carefully! Luckily, I got pictures of Parker with his great-grandparents, and we finally got the 4-generation photo I have been wanting!

Parker got to sit on great-grandpa Little's lap during Sacrament meeting, and he was going to town on his bolo tie. We had it drenched and gagged on it a couple times. I wish I could have gotten a video of it. That sight will be something we all talk about for years and years. So cute!

Four generations of Little's

I love going to Downey. I am so grateful that I am so close with both Tyler's parents and grandparents. I am so lucky! I feel like I have been apart of the family my entire life! I love you guys!

We are counting down the days until July when we can go see my family! I have been wanting to show Tyler the awesome July 1st celebrations in Raymond, and it looks like I will finally be able to this year! YAY! It will be awesome to have Parker together with his 3 cousins too! Man...we sure love our family!!! Happy Mother's Day---Mom's and Grandma's! We are so grateful for you :-)

I just love his eyes in this one...deer in the headlights!

So cute! Modeling daddy's swimming goggles (and going cross-eyed). haha. He loves them!

Fun!

Me doing two of Parkers favorite things!
