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.

Looks who's walking!

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!

Happy Birthday Miss P

It feels like just the other day I was bringing home a 4lb baby from the hospital. Now my sweet Parker girl is ONE! We celebrated her birthday and honored her Great Grandma Freda (who shares her birthday) with a polka dot theme. Freda's favorite. :) I wish Parker was able to meet her Great Grandma because she was such a fun lady. Happy Birthday Peanut, mom and dad love you so very much.

My mom made the cupcakes, polka dot themed of course while I made the toppers.

Happy Birthday to me! Parker didn't like the cake AT ALL.

"What's this fuss all about"?

Happy Birthday America!

Ryan, Parker, Bella and I had a jam packed 4th of July weekend. We had so much fun having friends over, going to friends homes, spending time with our parents and family and even having a little relaxing time at home just the "four" of us.
Here is a picture of Bella with her 4th of July bib on. :)

Ryan, Parker and I went to the Ballard locks and enjoyed some chill time.

Parker had so much fun pulling the grass. Ryan and I now want to tackle our backyard and get some grass growing for our little soon to be 1 year old lady.

I love this picture of Parker. My sweet innocent baby girl. I love you P!
