Little big man took me off guard when he decided to come down the roller coaster on his own. I had taken him down it before by holding onto him as he went, and I didn’t think he would have the cajone’s to do it by himself.

Parker overalls
At some point Parker is probably going to be mad at mommy for dressing him so ridiculously when he had no control over what he wore. I would help you buddy, but honestly it’s just too funny for me to intervene.

Parker Sputtering
For a few days Parker would sputter like a race car. I made sure to pause the vid at the critical moment to frame that face in your mind 🙂

Play date with Joshua
A hot summer day playing with Joshua, our friend down the street. Parker decided it was too hot for clothes so he walked around in diapers…later those came off too.

Family shot
Susan wanted to get a head start, like a head plus a neck, and maybe the whole body – for our Christmas cards. We didn’t go with any of these, but had some good candids.

Red wagon
Every day that goes by Skylar and Parker are playing with each other more. It’s great to see them start having that relationship. Skylar now likes to ride in the middle car seat so she can sit next to Parker, and as long as one of them isn’t screaming you can typically find them giggling and squealing with each other.

Parker’s first watermelon
Parker thoroughly enjoyed his first taste of watermelon. Skylar approved of his eating style.

Impromptu Va beach trip
Work sent me down to Norfolk on a Monday, so we decided to make a weekend of it and stay at Va. beach for a couple days. The weather was less than cooperative. The first day we encountered a sand storm at the end of the boardwalk while playing at what would have been an awesome kids area.
The next day it rained, so we did some swimming at the pool. Skylar got to try goggles for the first time. I think she liked them because mommy and daddy laughed so hard when she first put them on 🙂

Cool dudes
All those bright colors make me feel like I’m in a throwback to the 80’s. That reminds me, I need to pick up my Members Only jacket from the dry cleaners.

Parker’s Dol
Parkers first birthday went quite smoothly. Neither of the kids had any issue putting on the traditional Korean garb, which is almost unheard of. Part of the tradition, as I understand it, is the screaming of the birthday child at having to wear a hanbok.
Parker enjoyed his smash cake, and we probably gave him a full minute to relish in the sweet mess before extracting him from it.
