Self sufficient

Now that Parker is a big one-year-old, he thought he'd take matters into his own hands and get breakfast for himself!

Snow!

It started snowing on Saturday, January 14th and was supposed to last through the weekend. It did...and then some! Businesses and houses were without power, work was cancelled for some, businesses with power had to close because their employees couldn't get to work, etc. It was crazy (especially when you're trying to plan a birthday party for the following weekend). However, Camden loved it! He wanted it to keep snowing!

Just a few shots of Parker on his actual birthday!

He's in a high chair at YoPlateau because I decided to celebrate his first birthday by eating some fro-yo! Maybe I'll give you some next year, buddy!

WY Love

I am so thankful my parents were here for Parker's 1st birthday! They were very helpful with all of the preparations for the bash--cleaning, hanging lanterns, stringing the banner, setting up, etc. I appreciate them so much! Party aside, it was just great having them here! It is definitely a nice little break for me when they're around to entertain my little fellas. Mom and Dad, thank you so much for making the trip! I love you and miss you already!

Sorry I cut your head off in this pic, Dad. I know (as a 6'4" guy) it's not the first time!

The "Band Wagon"

Grandpa and Memaw sent Parker a fun ride-on toy I like to call the "band wagon." It's a cute car that has all kinds of buttons to push to make the sounds of different instruments. Camden has actually played with this a bit the last few times we have gone to Target, so he was really excited for it to be in our house! Thank you, Grandpa and Memaw!

Pushing the drum!

Sweet boy!

Happy boy!

Cruisin'

Love his smile (and black and white pics)!

Thomas the Train

Papa and GG gave Parker a motorized Thomas the Train for his birthday! It is so fun! Both of the boys love it! Camden does a great job giving Parker rides until he can push the button and steer it on his own. Thank you, Papa and GG, for the awesome present!

My big one-year-old!

"All aboard!"

Parker's face cracks me up!

Fun!

Look how Camden is concentrating!

This is how he likes to ride it when Parker is taking a break

He is all boy!

Milk!

I had a goal with both of the boys for breast-feeding--make it to their first birthday then wean them. Today the weaning began! I dropped Parker's 11:00 feeding so it was time to bring on the milk. I didn't mix it with breast milk, just straight up whole cow's milk. He was not a fan.

Darigold, of course! Helping the hubs stay employed!

Seriously, Mommy, you want me to drink that stuff?

Disgusting!

That ain't my mama's milk in there!

"Uh-oh!" (He dropped his sippy on the floor)

I'm just going to play peek-a-boo instead!

This is a lot more fun than drinking that milk!
