Ode to Sleeping!

 Everyone is sleeping well at the Olsen's!  Even though Parker is teething, she still has been sleeping fairly well.

Including Orange and White...

I LOVE Swings!

If Parker could swing ever day, I  think she would!

Favorite Place to Stand

Parker is now 9 months old, crawls all around and loves to pull herself up on to anything that will hold still. But one of her favorite places to hang out is our kitchen island...we've moved everything except a couple pots and pans, which Parker soon found and is now obsessed with touching!

I know they are up there...

Yesss!

Play Time at the Park!

Across the street from our house is a great little park. We finally took Parker there for the first time and she loved it! We took her on everything the park had but she LOVED the swing! She is now officially 9 month old.

Aaron started off barely pushing her...But that soon changed once he realized how much she loved it!
Teeter-totter time!

Next up...the slide!
Going through the tunnel

Last but not least was the merry-go-around! I think I liked it more than Parker...but she still dug it!

Good ol park sand. She was fascinated by it on her hands (which quickly went into her mouth)!

8 Month Old Photo Shoot

It has been so beautiful outside lately, so this past Sunday we decided to have a photo shoot with Parker. Here are some of our favorites!I had to do some shots with a tutu!And one of her cute little feet with our wedding rings...

Some Randoms...

Last weekend there was a huge parade and gathering for the Ducks football team since they had such an amazing season. We headed down to check out the festivities!

This is Parker's favorite sitting position. A future track star? Hurdles?

And thanks to cousin Claire for my awesome dress!

Parker now loves blueberries...obviously.

We all went out bowling last weekend...I think we have a future league bowler on our hands, Parker loved it! Well, she loved all the lights and brightly colored balls...so we'll see if it develops into something or not!

This was attempt #4 of trying to get them both to look at me at the same time...Aaron's just as bad, if not worse, than Parker.

A Good Start to 2011!

Happy New Year! New Year's Eve was a nice, low key, fun evening. We went out to dinner with friends downtown and Parker was such a trooper. She just chilled and eventually fell asleep in Aaron's arms. She must of been exhausted from her big meal she had before we went out!

New Year's Day was spent brewing Aaron's first batch of home brew! An Irish Red Ale. We can't wait to try it out!!

Parker is officially getting her first tooth in! You can sort of see it popping through on the bottom. So far it doesn't seem to be bothering her all that much, let's hope it stays that way!
