Happy 1st Birthday, Parker!

Wow. It's hard to believe that exactly one year ago at this moment (5:13 pm) Parker was born. We can't even fathom just how quick this past year has flown by. People always say that the time goes by quicker the older you get, well we are only 26 and we don't think it could go any faster!!!

Over the course of the year, Parker has changed so much: from a diet that consists solely of milk, to now feeding himself finger foods; from waking up every hour and a half to eat, to sleeping 13 hours straight (although that doesn't happen often); from a precious no teeth smile, to a 6 tooth grin that makes our heart melt; from not being able to hold his head up, to not being able to keep up with him as he crawls around the house; from eating, sleeping and pooping, to playing, babbling and going 90 to nothing.

There have been a ton of firsts for not only Parker, but for us as well. We both thought that we HAD to have at least 8 hours of sleep to function the next day. We both thought that we were busy and didn't have any free time. :) We both thought we had life figured out and a picture in our head of how parenthood would be. Man, do we laugh at all of these things now!

We could go on and on about all the firsts from the past year, but we would be sitting here for a long time typing away. We have a lot of special memories that we will cherish for a lifetime and we'd like to leave you with a few pictures of our little family from the past year (we tried to put them in order, but it didn't work):
