Sneak Peek of our new family pictures

Announcing the Arrival of Parker Alan!

He was born at 9:39 pm on 4/24. Mom really only had to labor for about 6 or 7 hours, too bad half of that had to be without the epidural. Parker and Mom are doing very well now and we expect to go home first thing Thursday morning.

His first bath! He loves it!

Getting dressed for the first time

Big brother Connor came to visit with Ga'ma today. He was curious, cautious, and maybe even a little shy at first...
We had him open a present from baby Parker to keep him entertained while he was visiting. In the end the trucks out on the freeway were far more exciting than the laptop that had just been opened. Oh well.

After a few more minutes of introduction, Connor was patting Parker's head and giving him love pats, then it grew to kisses, but of  coarse not for the camera.... that takes some prompting to capture.

Connor playing airplanes with toy magnets.

 

Connor enjoying his Valentine's balloon. I mean REALLY enjoying his balloon! (Sorry it's sideways though)

More recent pictures and videos

We have gotten some cute videos and pictures of Connor saying and doing funny things.  Here are a few. 

On Valentine's Day

After Church

Sugar cookie dough off the beater!

Valentine's presents

For some strange reason only he knows... he choose to get the popcorn bowl out and use it as a cozy seat for a while.

First ice cream cone!

Surfing on the airplane

Go Utes!

Fun new train set! Choo choo!

Whenever he sees a dirty diaper he says "gross, don't touch it."  But his "gross" sounds like "brrr."

Flying airplanes with Daddy

He did NOT like his first experience with cotton candy!

We got lucky with a week of really nice weather, so we took advantage of it to try out Paul's new RC airplane.  He loved it and Connor loved watching it fly!  We also spent some time at the park but Connor was more interested in playing with the rocks than swinging.
