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 thoroughly enjoyed his first taste of watermelon. Skylar approved of his eating style.
Phone pics from our Va Beach trip. We had spent the first night in Richmond and stopped by a fun Park that had trails, hills, flowers / plants, and some animals.
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 🙂
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.
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.

Moms say the craziest stuff. Namely, Susan has commented how ‘sweet’ the smell of infant poo can be. I don’t think so. Poo is poo, but when you’re a mom, it’s true love… for all the bits.
Checkout mommy sharing a meal with Parker – by eating it off his face. Hey, you don’t want that to go to waste. Mom and son bonding I guess…
ARRRGGGGHHHH DIE DUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda reminds me of Bill Murray in CaddyShack: “Pay no attention to that bush, moving around over there by that tree, it’s just a bush. Nothing to look twice at. Nothing to be alarmed about”.
This past year we didn’t get much snow, so when it started coming down at the end of March Susan yelled, grabbed the camera and we went outside and shot a few pics before I went to work.
The notable things about New Orleans were:
Apparently Parker’s enjoyed playing with trash more than anything else – toddlers! We were originally going to stay in the French Quarter for 2 nights, but the hotel was incredibly non-baby friendly – guess we should have seen that coming. The first place we stayed had the best pool, so we ended going back there as Skylar’s fav part of the trip was swimming with Daddy.
