Three Month and Easter Pics

My sweet friend Arlene took Parker's three month old pictures. Since it fell so close to Easter, I also had her take some of him in his outfit. There are only so many things you can do with a baby who can not hold his head up or sit up on his own. However, I think she got some pretty good ones of our handsome boy. Enjoy!!

Our attempt at propping him up with a big bunny.

We tried for a "nest" effect but Parker was not a fan of the grass.

Trip to the Bluebonnets

My best friend Charla and I decided last minute to take the kids for pictures in the bluebonnets. It was a bright and windy day. Parker did not enjoy the sun and kept his eyes closed the whole time and found his hands to very interesting. Lilah who is 4 months older tried to eat the flowers. All in all we got a few good picks. Charla and I are having so much fun celebrating their "firsts" together.

Lilah LOVES Parker's head.

We finally got one with eyes open & a smile!

I left Parker to take a picture of Charla with Lilah & couldn't help thinking how pitiful he looks all by himself in the field.

Easter Weekend

We had an eventful first Easter with Parker. Mom and I took him for a picture of the Easter bunny on our way our church's Eggstravaganza where we all got a little pink from the sun. On Sunday we ate lunch and the Stamps house and visited family in the afternoon. It was a fun filled weekend. I am constantly reminded of God's faithfulness to our desire in having a family. Easter last year was a sad time for me as I longed for a child. I could have never imagined how far God would take us in a year's time. We are so grateful for our gift.
