Parker and the lady bug

Parker found a lady bug at Discovery Green in Houston this past weekend. This is one insect he doesn't mind having crawl on him. Any other bug or fly and he freaks out. :)

School Pics

Check out Parker's cute school pictures.  Although his hair and smile aren't the greatest in the middle picture, I do like his smile in the one on the left and I love how he looks so GQ in the image on the right.  I have tried to pose Parker before and I know how hard it must have been to get him to cross his legs and put his hand in his pocket like that. :)

1st teeth cleaning

Here are some shots of Parker at the dentist this morning. It was his 3rd trip to the dentist but his first cleaning and x-rays. He did very well, but we found out he is going to have to have one of his front teeth pulled because it is abscessed. :(

3rd time is a charm

The first year Parker was alive, we visited the Easter Bunny at the Memorial City mall.  He did pretty well for being 9 months old.  Below is the result of standing in line for over an hour. 

The next two years weren't as fruitful.  Parker threw a fit right as we walked up to sit in the Easter Bunny's lap in both 2011 and 2012.  Needless to say, we didn't get any pictures from either of those years.  But this year Parker did cooperate and the result is this great picture of him smiling despite the Spiderman bandaid on his forehead from falling the week prior.  I guess the 3rd time is a charm! 

Bubbles

Parker got some bubbles for early Easter. That same day (last Sunday) it was really windy. So I showed him how to hold the bubbles up in the wind so that he didn't have to blow. After he let about 100 bubbles pour out of the wand, he took off to pop them.

Everything P!

When I picked up Parker from school yesterday, we wanted to make sure to show me the P that was painted on the courtyard window. He's cute because when he sees a P, he usually says "Parker". He knows his name starts with a P and wants to point out every P he sees.

Parker's early Easter gift

Because dada will be in Seattle next weekend on the real Easter Sunday, we celebrated Easter a week early. This is one of the gifts Parker got in his basket. We built it this morning. It's a helicopter like his dada is learning to fly.
