Swimming

Here's a quick video of Parker swimming in the pool at our new house for the first time on May 30th. He loved the water right away even though it was still pretty chilly. Should be a fun summer!

Parker's First Haircut

We finally did it; we took Parker to get his first haircut at Sports Clips. It was quite an adventure. The little guy would not sit still at all for the lady; I think I got more hair on me than there was on the ground afterwards. We just wanted to make sure we had enough time in between his haircut and his one year pictures in case a catastrophe occurred his hair could grow out.

Mother's Day Weekend

We have a lot of catching up to do on this blog for May, so here it goes! Mother's Day was amazing this year. It was so special to be able to actually hold a child on Mother's Day. Bryan and Parker surprised me with a new product at the salon, a Caribbean body scrub. I was hesitant at first, but let me tell you it was AMAZING and very relaxing. I recommend it to anyone! On Mother's Day I woke up to lots of hugs and kisses from Parker. He was being extra lovey that day and I really needed that. It was kind of a bittersweet day for me. It was special to have Parker here with me, but I still miss Mallory and Payton very dearly. In honor of them, we went to a balloon release with the support group we belong to. It was a very special event because almost everyone in the group now has their own miracle baby after such tragedy. Parker helped in the festivities by releasing balloons for his sisters. Thanks for such an amazing day Bryan and Parker!

Ream Family Visit

We had a visit fom Bryan's college roommate, Josh & Dawn Ream and their little girl Brylie. Brylie is only a few weeks younger than Parker. Parker didn't know what to think of her, but he loved that little bow in her hair. They played very good together. It was nice to see the Reams, we enjoyed our time with them.

Messy Madness

Last night the local Parents as Teachers group held an event called Messy Madness at the high school. It was quite an event. I'd call it organized chaos. There were little kiddos everywhere with hands covered in shaving cream, paint, yogurt, and many other messy concoctions. Parker had a good time, although I think next year will be even better. He's a little young for a lot of the stuff that was there, but still managed to make a mess.

He had "a ball" in the baby area


liked the pool of dry rice


got messy in the yogurt finger paint (great idea by the way)


and his favorite was the green slime.
