Breakfast with Santa

What a great day - that is until Santa showed up! Grandma & Grandpa joined in the fun too!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is so late, but I want to keep you posted - even if it's a month late! Parker had her own apron and everything to help with the cookin' on Thanksgiving! Watch out Martha!!

Happy Halloween!

The world's latest Halloween posting - I'm SO behind.

Parker is Walking!

For those of you who haven't seen it for yourselves...

She's so Corny!

Nothing says summer like corn on the cob. Parker wasted no time...

Take Two

Mommy had a tough time ending the Birthday festivities, so we ventured back to the park to get a couple more shots in Parker's party dress on Sunday afternoon. A cupcake (once intended for prop-purposes only) was just too tempting! She's too cute for words!

Starts off innocently enough - just a couple tastes of the icing...before you know it she's covered in icing, crumbs and grass wanting a big hug.

The Big Birthday Bash!

A super weekend for Parker's Birthday Party - the weather couldn't have been nicer - surrounded by such wonderful people. Great Time!

Officially ONE YEAR OLD

She was just about One Year, Six Hours old with these shots. Such a sweetie! The big birthday bash is Saturday, but we celebrated yesterday by bringing birthday cookies for a visit with Mom's work pals, then we headed to daycare to spread some cheer with her birthday bags and cupcakes for the teachers. I have feeling Parker was treated to a little cupcake action herself...

Birthday Bags

Mommy went a little Martha Stewart with these gift bags for Parker's classmates especially when you consider their age, but they turned out so cute...

The celebrations begin

Our Ft. Thomas gang can't make it this Saturday to Parker's "official" party, so they threw an "unofficial practice" party last night - so much fun. Parker has no fear, loved the attention, the ice cream, the presents - she's a total ham! Parker got a cuddly new bear and chirping bird from Gail and Leroy, new jamies with POLKA DOTS (Mommy's Favorite) from Bill and Diane, and the most adorable dress with matching coat from Judy and Harry (so Audrey Hepburn). She really scored for a practice run! Thanks guys!

Stop Thief

Now that Parker has moved up to her new daycare room, I can confess her criminal behavior (we're hoping a new environment will scare her straight). My daughter is...sniff sniff...a pacifier thief! She swipes them right out of her victim's mouth and makes a run for it.
