Well, being that our new household goal for birthday gifts is handmade and less than 5 bucks, all those celebrating birthdays unfortunately get the wrath of my aspiring artistic hobbies. That being said, "Happy Birthday Parker"!

I told her parents (who just happen to be cool and the youth pastors at our church) that I wanted to practice with the new gadget for her birthday... well two months later, here she is!

She wasn't entirely pleased with the photo session, but, look, a break in her serious "poses"!

Once Mr. Bear was sighted, there was not turning back. Both Kid Mock and Baby Bee love their blankies, and I have been sure to photograph them as I know it's just a stage and everyone needs a picture with their lovey! Parker just happens to like to suck on that ear of Mr. Bear. :-)

Have a great first year, Parker!
