Snow Snow Come look at the Snow

It snowed! Parker has been sick with the stomach flu for a week but she insisted on going outside and checking out this white stuff. So what did we do? We bundled the girl up and let her loose. She was quite nervous to walk on snow but really enjoyed catching it with her hands.

We made a snow man!
Cutey girl! So bundled.

Very unsure of the snow on her feet.

Disneyland!

Ryan and I are so blessed. This year Grammy and Bop treated the family to a trip to Disneyland. Ryan's brother's family, his parents and us flew to Southern California where the weather was terrific and so much fun was had. We had such a great time and can't thank the Walter's enough. Thanks for the trip!

I love this photo. Just shows you how much fun Parker had!

Dumbo ride! Parker is a thrill seeker :)

Christmas Time!

Christmas time is the Walter's absolute favorite time of year. Parker enjoyed putting ornaments on the tree (a real tree this year) unwrapping presents, all the holiday gatherings and seeing pretty lights up. This year we spent Christmas eve with the Walter's family (sadly my camera died) and Christmas morning at our house. We made a tradition to make donuts on Christmas morning which were awesome. Christmas afternoon we spent at the Knauft's house where Devin and Corinne flew in from Oakland. What a treat!

Parker and Ryan Christmas morning!

The Knauft's tree! Most of the presents were Parker's. Grandma and Grandpa love spoiling little P.

Looking back

I know I already blogged about P's birthday but I wanted to look back and compare Parker now to Parker at one day.

At 13 months, Parker loves to eat and drink milk, crawl, walk holding one hand, loves stuffed animals, dancing to music (and she is better than most adults), and loves giving kisses. Parker can say mama and dada as well at cat and truck. Parker got her first tooth at 11.5 months and is in the process of getting her second tooth. Parker weighs 18lbs (5th-10th %)and is 26 inches long (50th %) and has lightish color hair and bright blue eyes.

At birth, Parker had dark hair and blue eyes. She weighed 4lbs 7 ounces and was 18 1/4 inches long. She loved drinking milk and sleeping. :)

Camping Fun

Ryan and I have wanted to test out camping with a toddler for some time now. Our good friends Kyle and Allison braved the trip with us. We went to Fish Lake in Leavenworth and it was beautiful. While our camping spot was the most private spot, Parker went straigt to bed with two whimpers at 8:45 and woke up at 6:00am with a big ole smile on her face.

This is Parker's m.o. whenever I pull out the camera.

Me and my sweet Parky girl. She was getting her second tooth during the trip so she wanted to be held by mama the entire time. We had some good mother/daughter bonding.

Ryan's birthday tent being used for the first time. We will definately be using it many more times.

My little monkey playing in the tent. Happy girl!
