Halloween Babies

2010-11-24T14:44:00.004-06:00

I have received many requests for new pictures... sorry that it's taken so long! Here are some photos from the end of October. We took the kids out to the mall and to a few church parties the weekend of Halloween. They had a blast! Liberty was a butterfly (cousin Taryn's costume from last year) and a kangaroo (Daddy fgund the costume on clearance on Babies R Us a the week before and thought it was too cute not to get!). Peter was a dragon, although was often mistaken for a dinosaur. Of course he was quick to correct this error!

Spring

2010-05-31T18:38:00.008-05:00

Once again, I have fallen behind on posting recent pictures of the dear wild children. Here is a random assortment of photos from the last two months!

Easter Babies

2010-04-05T14:32:00.000-05:00

Wow, I guess I haven't posted here in a while! So while they're still current, here I am with our Easter pictures. Both kids looked adorable although a certain little boy didn't want to look and smile at the camera. Half the neighborhood could probably hear our front yard photo session that went something like this... "Peter, look up. Look at me. Straight ahead, I'm right in front of you. Look at the camera. Smile! Please? You aren't going to get to eat your chocolate if you won't look a the camera. Please smile." Liberty was a bit more cooperative in her adorable pink and white dress, which was her mommy's first Easter dress in 1986.

Wow he looked at the camera!

The bunny is called Carrot Patch Pete

Liberty got a Finding Nemo bath book

Baby bunnies!

Peter was thrilled by the puzzle from his Easter basket

Valentine's Day

Here are a few Valentine's Day and related photos!

A rare photo of Peter actually looking at the camera and smiling!

Liberty's 6 Month Portraits

2010-02-02T11:39:00.001-06:00

Yesterday Liberty turned 7 months old! I haven't been keeping up with posting her "month birthday" photos unfortunately, so here's some recent portraits of Liberty taken at JCPenney. She was about 6 1/2 months at the time of these photos.

Christmas, Continued

2010-02-01T16:54:00.001-06:00

I can't believe that it's already February and I never finished posting the Christmas pictures!! Better late than never, I guess, so here they are. And a very belated Happy New Year to everyone!

Christmas Morning

2009-12-28T20:41:00.015-06:00

Here are some photos from Christmas morning. Just Peter and Liberty in these, since they're the only ones who look cute in the morning in PJs!

This shows Peter picking tape off of his mini M&Ms which ended up being a running theme with him. It seemed to drive him crazy if there was any tape left behind and he was even picking tape off of other peoples gifts! Just one of his many "mini Monk" quirks.

He got an Elmo wallet in his stocking and loved it.

All of Peter's stocking stuffers

Peter had a gift bag that was nearly as tall as he was.

Crawling inside the gift bag to see what's inside...

A mini kitchen set!

A gift for Peter and Liberty to share...

...a wall hanging for their Classic Pooh nursery!

Over 70 pieces of plastic food, plates, cups, and utensils. After having it scattered all over the living room for the past few days, I'm begining to wonder why I ever thought this gift was a good idea?!

Christmas Eve

2009-12-26T20:29:00.011-06:00

On Christmas Eve the kids opened pajamas, a tradition from Christi's childhood, to wear on Christmas morning. We gave Liberty the red flannel nightgown (with a matching hat) that Christi wore for her first Christmas. Peter's PJs were made by Christi out of Sesame Street flannel that Peter admired every time he saw it in on the fabric bolt in Hobby Lobby.

Christmas Eve Eve

2009-12-26T17:03:00.006-06:00

No, that's not a typo. These pictures are from the eve of Christmas Eve, December 23, when we celebrated Christmas with most of the Parker family. Of course, we have very few pictures of Peter actually looking at the camera since he seems to have some sort of moral objection to having his picture taken. *grin*

Merry Christmas!

Peter's Big Boy Haircut / Liberty's Exersaucer

2009-12-17T22:52:00.008-06:00

Although Peter has had a haircut several times already in his young life, tonight he experienced his first "big boy" hair cut and got his hair cut short just like Daddy (which is what we repeatedly mentioned to him in a vain effort to get him to sit still). I have also put up some older pictures including Liberty's first time in the Exersaucer.

Before the haircut:

During the haircut:

After the haircut:

Liberty tries out the Exersauce for the first time (Nov. 11th)

Peter was fascinated by it too since he hadn't seen it in months. Here he was trying to guide Liberty's hand to a toy!

On the way home from Mamaw and Papaw's house at about 10 PM, a very tired Peter managed to open a package of peanut butter crackers and eat half of them before his unsuspecting parents realized what he was doing...

Liberty and Papaw (Nov. 15th)

Peter saw Mommy peeling potatoes over the trashcan so he decided to get a potato out of the pantry and try it out himself. I only hope he is this helpful in a few years!

The Parker Family Elves

Thanksgiving 2009

2009-12-02T14:07:00.009-06:00

We had a great Thanksgiving with family, followed by insane Black Friday shopping at 4 AM. So that we could shop early, Peter stayed with Papaw and Mamaw and had his first real sleepover (technically he had a sleepover at Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Jen's the night Liberty was born, but that was only half a night) away from Daddy and Mommy.

Cousin Taryn, Peter, and Liberty... of course no one wanted to look at the camera or smile

Mamaw got these coordinating dresses for the girls - aren't they adorable? :)

Liberty, Cousin Zach, and Peter

Look at her wee white patent leather shoes!

Fall Happenings

2009-11-18T16:38:00.005-06:00

Here is a random assortment of pictures from this fall. Peter's birthday and party photos are not included because I plan on posting them separately, soon (that's the plan anyway).

The first two photos were taken at Red Robin on Christi's birthday:

Liberty is now learning to play with toys!

Yup, that's Peter eating out of the peanut butter jar (it was almost empty)!

Peter's first time eating cotton candy - naturally he loved it!

This boy does not like looking at the camera...

Our little pumpkin and wild tiger!

The cousins together (refusing to pose, of course)... Taryn is a butterfly

Peter helping Mommy cook

This is actually a doll stroller! Perfect size for Peter to push Liberty in, but it wasn't very stable.

That's a calculater that Peter thinks is a cell phone. He placed it on Liberty's ear so that she could talk!

Liberty's Three Month Photos

2009-11-10T20:17:00.004-06:00

I forgot to put up Liberty's three month photos, so here they are now. This is the same outfit Liberty wore home from the hospital. It swam on her then and was nearly too small for her at 3 months! And I just realized that those hospital photos never made it on the blog, so here's one picture for comparison (she is 2 days old in this photo):

And three months later:

Liberty's 4 Month Stats

2009-11-06T01:34:00.002-06:00

Liberty turned 4 months old on November 1 and went for her 4-month checkup a few days later. She now weighs 14 pounds, 12 ounces (she has more than doubled her birth weight of 6 lbs, 8 oz.!) and measures 25 inches long. Both her weight and height fall around the 75th percentile. Liberty is quite healthy and the doctor thinks that she will soon be rolling over.

I will post some recent pictures soon!

This news just in...

2009-10-16T14:30:00.003-05:00

...Peter is officially no longer a baby.

I thought Peter was pretty grown up when he stopped using the pacifier recently (although that was accompanied by a few days of screaming for 1 or 2 hours at a time in his crib). I didn't realize that there was another milestone out there that he had not yet reached. He reached it today.

I'm usually a heavy sleeper but I'm coming down with a cold so slept rather fitfully. This morning I woke up when Eddie left the house for work, then fell back to sleep. Sometime later at about 7:15 AM, I awakened again to the sound of Peter whining. Then I heard a door open and close followed by little feet running down the hallway. Startled, I opened my eyes and called out his name and then he appeared in my bedroom doorway. It was almost creepy in my half asleep state to see him, because I wondered if he was real! I was shocked that he had been able to get out of his crib but I hoped that it was a fluke. I changed his diaper and laid him back in the crib with his stuffed R.J. (from "Over the Hedge") and blanket. Perhaps he went back to sleep... I know I did... at any rate he was quiet for about an hour. As a precaution, I closed the hall bathroom door which has a child safety knob cover and put the gate up at the end of the hallway, just in case he escaped and I didn't wake up (though I left my door open so that I'd hear him). At 8:15, I awoke to the sound of Peter's door opening and even without my contacts in, I could make out his blurry little figure emerging from his bedroom. Just to see if he would do it again, I returned him to his crib and shut his door. Less than a minute later, it opened again.

Darn. Apparently Peter has mastered this concept and gone are my days of keeping the little monkey contained in his crib. I'm dreading naptime today!

End of Summer Fun

2009-10-14T13:41:00.011-05:00

Here are some photos from August and September that I kept meaning to post here but never did. Too cute not to share even if they aren't very current!

This is Peter's first ice cream cone. He loved it!

Cousin Taryn and Peter in the pool at Mamaw and Papaw's

It's nearly impossible to get Peter and Taryn to look at the camera! This was the best pic we got of them.

Baby Papoose :)

Getting ready to go out to celebrate our third anniversary, one week late due to Liberty's hospitalization.

Liberty's first time swimming!

Peter absolutely loves the water! Someday we'll have to get him a pool...

Liberty being adorable, as usual ;)

Liberty's Hospital Stay

2009-09-03T12:49:00.008-05:00

On Monday morning, Liberty was admitted to the hospital. She was having difficulty breathing due to congestion and her heartrate was too fast. She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and stayed in the hospital until Wednesday afternoon. Now she is at home and doing well!!

Since she was in the hospital when she turned 2 months old, we didn't get any official "2 month" posed pictures, so these will have to do!

Liberty's First Smiles

2009-08-24T17:54:00.004-05:00

Today, Liberty had her first conscious smiles. Isn't she precious?!

The Many Faces of Liberty

2009-08-24T02:15:00.011-05:00

Here are some close-up shots of Liberty's adorable and very round face!

Perplexed

Peter Laughing

2009-08-04T11:37:00.003-05:00

Recently we were watching a movie Willow which featured a Brownie (miniature person) falling into a barrel of beer. For some reason Peter found this absolutely hysterical so we played the scene for him several times and each time he saw it he laughed even harder!

Fourth of July

2009-08-01T15:52:00.005-05:00

July 4th was Liberty's first full day home from the hospital and a chance to live up to her patriotic name by dressing up in red, white, and blue!

Peter enjoying his rocking horse...
...with much intensity!

Liberty Elisabeth

2009-07-02T15:54:00.005-05:00

Liberty Elisabeth Parker surprised us by arriving 1 1/2 weeks early on July 1, 2009 at 4:45 AM. She weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces and was 19 inches long.

Liberty's first photograph
Daddy trimming the cord. He was unable to actually cut it because it was wrapped around her neck and the doctor had to cut it before she was fully born.

Kiss!

Mr. Cool

2009-05-14T17:11:00.003-05:00

We have finally been able to convince Peter to leave things such as sunglasses and hats on his head. Not sure if that is a good thing though, as I suspect the sole reason he permits this is because he knows he looks adorable. (He might have gotten this idea from me...)

Springtime Fun and Cutting Curls

2009-03-26T13:32:00.005-05:00

Spring is finally here and Peter is loving being able to run around in his yard! He also received his first official haircut. Several months ago he had his bangs trimmed, but this was the first time he had all of the hair on the top of his head trimmed. This cut was in preparation for his 18-month portrait this week.

Peter continues his big-boy trend of not looking at the camera when photographed...

But I snuck a shot in of him looking in the camera's general direction

To distract him, Peter got to watch Barney during his haircut

It's a girl!

2009-02-21T15:59:00.009-06:00

Our ultrasound at about 19 1/2 weeks of our little baby... a girl! :)

Peter is learning how to use utensils and feed himself. He loves eating!

Peter's first time using a spoon. He's eating oatmeal, his favorite breakfast food. :)

Peter learning how to eat a banana himself - no more having Mommy cut it up into small pieces!

Peter enjoying leftover restaurant chicken fingers and Ranch dipping sauce. He insisted on doing all the dipping himself!

Baby Muffin: Week 14

2009-01-15T14:14:00.009-06:00

As you can see from the post title, Baby Parker has been named Muffin. Last time around, before we knew that Peter was going to be a boy, we had dubbed him Button. We thought about reusing the name, but decided we prefer to have a unique name for each baby.

We will find out Muffin's gender February 19. Right now s/he is busily growing and making Mommy sick. Peter and Mommy heard the heartbeat for the first time last week. Peter still doesn't quite grasp that there's a new baby growing in Mommy's tummy, but he does know that we call the tummy "Baby." We were quite proud of this brilliance until he also called Daddy's tummy "Baby" and we realized he just thought that was a word for tummy.

At this point, Muffin is about 3.5 inches and weighs between 1 and 2 ounces.

Peter had his one year portraits done at Sears, where they did a great job just like for his 6 month photos (which never made it onto this blog! oops).

I'm listing these with the sizes we ordered them in so those of you reading this who are getting 5x7s and/or wallets will know what your options are!

Eleven Month Photos

2008-09-12T22:49:00.002-05:00

Peter turned 11 months on August 28. Unfortunately, the active guy did not want to stay still for pictures or look at the camera much, so these are mostly candid shots. Of course he's still cute no matter what! :)

Celebrating Two Years...

2008-09-04T15:19:00.005-05:00

On September 2, we celebrated our second wedding anniversary!
Last year at this time, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with this little ham...
He is definitely our greatest blessing and joy!
But we left him behind to have a nice quiet dinner at Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano. We had a delicious meal that ended with tiramisu for dessert...mmmm!
Our waiter was kind enough to suggest the wine room as a backdrop for a photo:

Tea Party

2008-08-28T14:10:00.010-05:00

Teaser Pics of Julie and Andrew's Wedding

2008-08-05T12:40:00.007-05:00

We drove up (or across?) to Missouri this weekend for Julie and Andrew's wedding. Unfortunately I discovered last night that when I copied my wedding pictures over to Julie's parents' computer, somehow my camera memory card got stripped. (I cried.) So unless we can somehow recover the card, I've lost the last month or so of photos. The wedding pictures are still on the computer so at least those are not permanently lost (and Matt is supposed to be burning me a CD and mailing it to me). Anyway, I only have this one picture that I had put on Facebook and a few more that I'm borrowing from Lindsey.

This was taken in the bride room while we waited for the ceremony to start. I asked Julie's dad to stand on a bench and take this from above and it came out pretty good.
[The rest are Lindsey's photos. She has mad photography skills.]

This was taken in the room we all got ready in, shortly after we all were finally completely ready. (Lining up by skin tone was unplanned!)

Twachel and Twisti - just under two years ago we were Maid of Honor and Bride! The Bride and Groom!

Peter turned ten months old yesterday. He has been celebrating his new age by walking and eating paper. :)

Baby Steps

2008-07-28T17:49:00.003-05:00

Little Peter just keeps on adding to his list of accomplishments. Today he was showing off his new ability to stand and take a step or two.

Holiday World

2008-07-23T16:39:00.009-05:00

Yesterday Peter experienced his first water/amusement park at Holiday World (and Christi experienced Holiday World for that first time in a non-8-months-pregnant state :D). We had tons of fun at the park with Mamaw and Cousin Zack!

Peter crawled down the hallway to play with the dolls at the end...
He discovered the air freshener plug-in
He's such a clown!
Later he was fascinated by the open dishwasher...

"I can help unload!"
"Hmmm, these look dirty still."

Melissa and Jordan's Wedding

2008-07-08T00:27:00.006-05:00

We attended Jordan and Melissa's beautiful wedding on July 4 and took many great pictures. Here are a few of them...

The Joys of Mobility, Part 1

2008-06-06T13:13:00.005-05:00

Peter has entered a new phase of living - mobility. Not only can he now crawl, but he can also draw himself up to standing. He is very clever, mischievous, and gets into everything.

Here he can be seen raiding the trash for a Kohl's coupon. Apparently he wants to go shopping...
Then fell on his little bum...
But realized Mommy was taking pictures so he decided it wasn't so bad...
Later he discovered that the dining room chairs make a great little fort

But he got bored...
And with ease...
...flopped right out

Applesauce, and guacamole, and lemons... oh my!

2008-05-10T14:40:00.005-05:00

Last Sunday, Peter was introduced to fruit for the first time. He loves his vegetables and had been eating carrots, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, and peas for two weeks, so it was time to start on applesauce! Surprisingly, he didn't really seem to like it at first...

We were having lunch at a Mexican restaurant and he was bored after finishing his applesauce so he tried some guacamole...

He loved it!!

Next he tried the lemon from Mommy's water...

Seven month photos

2008-05-05T11:30:00.008-05:00

Peter turned 7 months on April 28. It's hard to believe he is over half a year old now!

We return! To pick wildflowers...

2008-04-22T12:45:00.004-05:00

We are back... after having gone through the entire month of March and most of April without any pictures of little Peter. I finally discovered that there actually is software on this computer that will re-size pictures (and my computer is still not hooked up). We promise to catch up on some older pictures (such as Peter's 5 and 6 month pics) and be more faithful about posting new ones. These were taken yesterday!

Belated 4 month photos

2008-02-28T14:01:00.005-06:00

Today is Peter's 5 month birthday and I realized that I never posted his 4 month pictures, so here they are a month late. I will post his 5 month photos in a few days!

Bonus picture at the end - Peter on SuperBowl Sunday!

Valentine's Day

2008-02-18T14:11:00.002-06:00

On Valentine's Day, Eddie had to follow clues to find little presents all over the house in places such as the fridge... Christi got new silver earrings...

Exersaucer Fun!

2008-02-07T22:55:00.000-06:00

Last week, Peter began using a new big boy toy - his exersaucer. He was a little confused at first, but now he loves it and we have noticed a definite improvement in his hand-eye coordination.

Peter loves presents!

His first present is two new sleepers and two cute outfits
Next he opens some Baby's First Christmas ornaments

Christmas Eve

2007-12-25T15:06:00.000-06:00

Last night we celebrated Peter's first Christmas Eve and took many adorable pictures.

One of Peter's presents is about 3 times as big as he is (stay tuned for Christmas pictures to find out what it is!).

He's our favorite Christmas present :)

Peter decides to try on both Mommy's and Daddy's stockings

Last night, we put up our cute little Christmas tree (which somehow we found space for). Peter put the first ornmament on the tree, his very first ornament, given to him by his Grandma.

Bath time with Papaw

Peter had his first bath at Mamaw and Papaw's house this weekend.

What a chunky monkey!
I think he liked it...
He liked his bath bag too...
But I guess it was hard work *yawn*

Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of the occasion, today Peter graciously consented to pose for some pictures. Scroll all the way down for a special surprise!

Peter has Pooh feeties!

Not even 2 months and already holding his head up high...

And here is a video clip of the little man. The lighting isn't too good so try adjusting the monitor angle before viewing.

Peter Can Smile!

2007-11-16T17:38:00.000-06:00

Yesterday (November 15), Peter decided it was time to start smiling. He had just finished taking a bath and his very first smile was at his reflection in the mirror. I guess he just saw how cute he is and after that he couldn't stop grinning. Such a little ham!

Look at that little face!
Yes, I know I'm adorable...

Already a little ladies man...

So sweet...

Go Patriots!

Peter is the cutest Patriots fan in America!

Welcome to the Parker Family's photo blog! Or, Peter's photo blog, since he's really the focus of these pictures. Peter would like to blow some kisses to his grandparents in Indiana and Rhode Island!
