Just a few shots of Camden (and one of Parker) while my parents were here...some from my camera, some from theirs.

Hi buddy!

Yogurtland (he loved it almost as much as Mommy does!)

Obsessed with baseball so Grammy bought him this "baseball shirt"

Sporting his Mariners gear

Running with his mouth open...always.

The Dodgers shirt GG and Papa gave him on his 1st birthday

Walking to the park with his buds, Marcus and Casey

Excited to feed the ducks!

Motorcycle Maniacs

Jonathan went on his annual golf trip with the guys at the beginning of June, so my parents came to visit and help me with the boys. My Mom flew out, then a few days later my Dad rode his motorcycle from WY to WA! He had an adventurous ride (to say the least) with hail, rain, running out of gas, and more, but he made it with a positive attitude and prayer! Way to go, Dad! Thankfully, the ride back (with my Mom on board this time) was smooth sailing! They said it was absolutely beautiful!

As always, we had a great time with them here! We didn't get out and about much, but it's just fun being with them. Thank you for coming, Mom and Dad! Thank you for being so helpful! Thank you for loving our boys so much!

Camden and the motorcycle. We were coming back from a walk when my Dad arrived and Camden was so excited to see this bad boy parked in front of our house!

Gramps and Parker

Grammy and Camden...taking a break from feeding the ducks

At the park--our little neighbor girl, Casey, took this pic and did a great job!

Parker loves playing with hands

Fun times!

May 23-4 months!

Our little one turned 4-months-old while we were in California so he's actually about 4.5 months in these pics. Parker is such a sweet and happy boy! He rarely cries, smiles all the time, and continues to be quite the talker. On May 31st he weighed 17 lbs 10 oz and was 27 inches long. His little dot barely made it on the chart for weight and he's still off the chart for length. During this month Parker went on his first plane ride (he did awesome) and laughed for the first time--melts my heart every time! He is really into holding toys and batting at the hanging sea creatures in his aquarium playmat. He thinks mirrors are pretty fun too! There are huge smiles and laughs every time we look in one! Parker is all about his hands. He sucks on them all the time! Parker also met many family members from the Bentley side and the Freed (Jonathan's mom's maiden name) side...special memories.

4 months!

Big smile!

Forgot to mention he's a drooling machine!

Love those big blue eyes

Playing with his hands

Milky tongue

Hands in his mouth

Bath time!

There's water in the big tub too because he was taking his first bath with his brother :)

Big Brother, Little Brother

Grandpa and Memaw and Papa and GG bought Camden and Parker "Big Brother" and "Little Brother" shirts. Here are a few shots of the boys sporting them. Thanks to all four of you!

My sweet big boy

His smile

My sweet little boy

I had to post this one because Parker looks like a mannequin...don't you think?!

Best buds!

I know you can't see his shirt, but I love this pic of Parker

See above caption :)

One of these days he will give me a real smile on a regular basis

Blue-eyed boys

CUTE!

Activity Center

Parker is a champ at holding up that big ol' head of his (JB and I make 'em with big noggins)! So, we decided it was time to put him in the activity center. Here are some photos from his first experience...

What is that thing?

This one cracks me up! He was pretty focused on the frog for a while, so much so it made him go cross-eyed!

So much to see and do!

What up?

He decided to take a break from the frog to check out some other things

Looking at the hanging toys

A bit more relaxed

Yay! This is fun!

Big Kids

We live in a great neighborhood! There are a lot of families, people are very friendly, the streets aren't busy, and the list goes on! The kids in the neighborhood are all elementary school age (the youngest ones are going into second grade), but they all love Camden! They are so great with him! They are very patient, loving, and encouraging. It's so cute! We feel like our little guy is growing up so fast as it is, but when the doorbell rings and the kids say, "Can Camden play?" it makes us feel that way even more! Camden loves them too! He gets really excited when he sees them. At least once a day he holds his hand up to his ear and says, "Hear that Mommy? Kinda sounds like my friends!"
