Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Bath time

Touch Up Tuesday

I had some free time since Parker was taking a very long nap today, so I thought I would touch up one of the photo's I took yesterday. I think I might be getting a little better at photo editing. Not quite perfect as I still have problem with brightening the eyes, so I must be missing some step. I've started to learn how to use masks, I like the different looks you can give a picture using them.

This is my first time linking to Paper Heart Camera.

I used one of the newly posted masks from Shadowhouse Creations

So close to crawling!

Parker has been working hard this week to get this crawling thing down. He starts by doing these funny push-ups, finally gets his knees underneath him. Rocks back and forth on his knees, and even moves one knee forward then...PLOP! Down to the ground he goes to start the cycle over again. At least he has Sophie the giraffe cheering squeaking him on.



Butt in the air...check!



Straighten arms...check!


Oops went a little to high...



Bring my knees underneath...check!


Move one knee forward..check!


You know Sophie...crawling is overrated!


Especially when I can just roll to where I need to go.

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Sand play

I had my vlog all finished and when I went to upload it I notice a bunch of tiny finger prints all over the video feed. I look at my camera, sure enough somehow Parker had gotten a hold of it and there were finger prints on the lens. I don't know how or when he could have done that, but the video is no good. I will do another taping tomorrow and post it then.

Loving my toes!

Parker has been accustomed to taking naps on the couch. Lately, he has been rolling off the couch in his sleep, so to save his poor noggin' he now must nap in his crib. Unfortunately, he doesn't ever sleep in his crib, usually he is playing with his piano or talking to his mobile.

Today on his monitor, I heard Parker making this odd smacking sound followed by him grunting. It sounded like he had found something somehow and was eating it. Here is what I found him eating ...

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Although Parker is not feeling 100% he was still a good sport and allowed me to take some photos for St. Patrick's Day. I bought all the St. Patrick's Day props in these photo's for $3.00 from Target, I love shopping at Target!













This little man has such big feet!

Vloggin Vednesday: Q&A

Here is my vlog. Parker and I are sick again so sorry for all the sniffling :/

He can talk!

So, it may have been completely random, but this has to be one of the cutest videos of Parker. I was talking to him and asked a question and he actually responded!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday- Daytrip to Tucson

I'm so behind on posting on my blog, but one thing I love to do every week no matter what is Scavenger Hunt Sunday...yeah yeah I know it's Monday...again, and the 3rd week in a row I'm late to post this.

I didn't have anytime to edit these too much, but I would never post if I did that. So these are raw photos :)

1. Vanishing Point

We spent this past Saturday in Tucson and decided to go visit the San Xavier Mission. It is such a beautiful place to take photographs. Here Parker is sitting in one of the pews.

2. Square Crop

3. Under

During our Tucson day trip we hiked part of Picacho Peak, nearby was an Ostrich farm with the monster truck. Here is Parker sitting in the hub of one of the monster truck wheels. I actually woke up Parker so he would take pictures. I know, never wake a sleeping baby...except to take a photo you may never have a chance to take again!( I added a second picture so you could get an idea of the size of the truck compared to Parker, can you find him?)

4. "Welcome to the Jungle"

Parker trying on his new bunny hat and diaper cover we received in the mail today. We will be using this for his Easter pictures. I'm so addicted to these hats!

5. Calm

I love this photo, it looks like Parker is praying.

Vloggin' Vednesdays & Wordless{ish} Wednesday (68/365)

Here is my vlog of Parker's room. I was so tired by the time I was able to record this so if I'm rambling a bit, sorry. Oh, and I totally messed up the name of the Etsy shop I received the owl, it is called Bellamina.

I was also too late to link up my Wordless{ish} Wednesday post, I was trying so hard to get my Wednesday posts done earlier today...bah ;)

Wordless{ish} Wednesday

A blustery day (67/365)

Hum dum dum ditty dum
Hum dum dum

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily

So it's rather safe to say
That it seems that it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly

It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly

Looks like a rather blustery day today

Poor little Parker was working so hard to keep the wind from knocking him over. He was mesmerized by the trees and grass moving in the wind. Vanessa was just being her crazy self doing her best to entertain Parker and make him laugh. He sure loves his big sister.

I took this video this past weekend. Parker was being so silly blowing raspberries, singing and laughing.
