2 Months Old Today!

Well actually he was 8 weeks this past Tuesday but today is the 9th so we’re calling it his 2-month birthday. He is starting to legitimately smile now. It’s not just gas anymore. Here’s a big smile this morning:


And I got some on video as well:


He’s also getting more coordinated with his hands. Here are a few shots of him holding a toy. Notice he uses both hands; amphibious.



We still have tummy time everyday:



And we’re looking forward to Granddaddy Moody arriving this Wednesday.

Parker can hardly wait:

Long Time, No Blog...

We’ve been so busy after Thanksgiving that I haven’t had time to get a post up. Parker’s doing great but he is a little high maintenance right now. It seems like he doesn’t know what to do with himself when he’s awake. So Brooke basically has to give him undivided attention all day and I take him as soon as I get home. It’s usually 7 or 8 pm before I can sit down and look at work or anything else for that matter.

But he’s so darn cute I don’t care.



We did find time to go Christmas tree hunting.

Here he is with Mommy.

And here he is with Daddy beside the tree we finally settled on.


Cousin Page came into town this week and got to see Parker for the first time. We had a great time with her as always.


I think she liked him.


We went to visit or injured friend Aunt Selisa this weekend. She’s bedridden after a terrible tennis accident but she and Parker were still able to cheer the Chargers onto victory over division rivals the KC Chiefs.

Go Chargers!



Here are a few more random pictures and be sure to check the new video on youtube.






We can’t wait for everyone to get here for Christmas and keep the comments coming. I'll try not to be so long between posts next time.

Thanksgiving Update

As you may know – or noticed from the previous post – Parker’s Grandmother Moody and cousin Maegan were out to visit for Thanksgiving. It was great to see Mom with the baby. She was so excited to get out of the airport and home to see him. She didn’t want to put him down.

Here’s Grandma Moody holding him for the first time.


We had a great time with Mom and Maegan.
Here are a few shots from the trip:

Thanksgiving Day was great. It was a delicious potluck affair.

We had a house full of friends and family:

Parker liked some guests more than others...

Parker had on his Thanksgiving outfit...

to his Mama's delight...

Uncle Keith came down from Costa Mesa:

GrandMa even got to spend some time with her canine grandchildren:

Everything was great until they had to leave Saturday morning.
As you can see, Mom wasn’t too happy:

But she’ll be back at Christmas along with others from both sides of the family and we’re looking forward to it.

So in the meantime, you stay classy San Diego:
