beach!

Last week, we spent the week at the beach with my extended family and had a fabulous time.  Parker loves the water, sand, and cousins!  We celebrated Himal's first Father's Day and my birthday while on vacation.  It couldn't have been better!

Prior to our vacation, Himal and I saw Man of Steel.  We all wore our matching shirts that day.

I love my little beach bum

10 months

Parker is 10 months old!  He's turning into such a handsome little man, and he knows it.  We've caught him kissing his reflection several times.  Silly baby!

We couldn't get a picture of a toothy grin, but at least we got him to sit still.

He claps all the time and waves to everyone; such a friendly little guy!  In addition to splashing on command, he also kisses, high fives, and dances when asked.  He can balance in a standing position for a few seconds and then walk/stumble a few steps into our arms.  And he finishes with a clap when we praise him for a good job.  :-) 

Parker's dad loves Superman, and Parker knows to make Superman fly when we make a "whoosh" sound.  So smart!

This is what he does when we say, "WHOOSH!"

Unlike his mom and dad, Parker is a great eater.  We are pleased and hope he continues to be.

 Parker was busy at the pool, zoo, and a birthday party this week.

Lily was his date to the pool

Hello, Mr. Giraffe

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this sweet, adorable 10-month old!
