Parley: 1 year

PARLEY IS ONE!! 

I can't even believe that my little guy is one year old. He's so happy, as long as he can be crawling around and not held down. 

Parley loves to eat and play with his light up ball. He also loves playing with cars. 

Parley has the biggest, most beautiful dark brown eyes. 

He has taken a few steps. Has 2 bottom teeth, top right and bottom left have broken through. 

It is very difficult for Parley to sit through 3 hours of church. We will be so glad in a couple hours when church moves to 2 hours and we get to do more home centered gospel learning. 

Parley got to go to a Salt Lake City Stars basketball game on his birthday. The whole first half of the game he just sat on his daddy's lap and stared at the game. It was so cute!

Parley's stats:

     Weight: 23.6lbs (60%)

     Height: 31.1" (87%)

     Head: 18.5" (69%)

Parley: 11 months

Parley got his first bloody nose. He was climbing on a box and fell face first onto the kitchen floor. It started gushing blood immediately!

Parley loves to wave bye-bye.

Parley still only has 2 teeth. His top four and outside bottom two have been white bubbles for a couple months now but they still haven't popped through yet..

Parley absolutely loves food. He could eat all day long and still be hungry.

He has no desire to walk. We try and get him to take a few steps and he just falls down. He walks around the couches and toys and furniture so fast but he won't walk on his own.

Parley has a temper. If he gets told no or has something taken away from him he will lay down and cry.

Brooklyn: 3 years

A letter to my 3 year old-

Dear Brooklyn,

I hope as you grow up you will continue to say "I so cute!" everytime you look in the mirror and believe it. I hope your love for your brother never changes and that you always stay the best of friends. I hope you continue to love your Savior and Heavenly Father as fiercely as you do now, and that you continue to learn and grow in the gospel. I hope you can travel and see all the beautiful places this world has to offer. I hope you will always have a smile on your face and be willing to help those in need. I hope you will always cherish and love your parents and know that we will always be there for you no matter what. I hope that you can always have a fun but also know when to be serious and get things done. I hope you always believe in yourself and chase your dreams. I love you with all my heart, baby girl. Happy 3rd birthday princess!

Love, Mommy
