Henry David Stinson

YAY! We have a new addition to the family! Our new nephew Henry David Stinson. He was born March 16th at 3:31pm. He weighed in at 8 pounds and .158 ounces and is 22 inches long. Darian and Henry are both doing well. He came via C-section, and Debbie (Grandma) and Raughn (Papa) both say that Darian is up and moving around just fine! Here are just a few pictures...I have been promised more by this evening! Enjoy and congrats to the new family!!

Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height!!

What a beautiful weekend here in the DC area! 60 degrees and a little windy, so what better to do than purchase a kite and fly it with your toddler! Well, it all sounded good in theory until...

Daddy had one heck of a time just getting the kite out of its package!

Parker was very patient and there giving total support...

The plan: Daddy would get the kite into the air and then...

He will hand the kite off to Parker ....

Who, in theory, will only have to hold the kite string and watch the kite soar in the air...

Until the wind stopped and Mommy and Daddy yelled, "Run Parker, run to keep it in the air!!"

Parker ran...

But the kite came down!!!

Of course we had to end on a good note...so Daddy raised the kite one more time into the windless air...and Parker had a blast!

A weekend back in Chesapeake!

So a couple of weeks ago, Daddy was out of town for a week on business and Parker and I thought it would be a great time to go and spend a few days back home in Chesapeake...and man did we have a GREAT time!!

We fed Grandma Joan...

Got to play with Ms. Amy, Logan, and Dylan....

Grandma Joan and Mr. Dave made a complete Parker friendly dinner and he ate it all (which never happens at home)...

Watched funny movies with Auntie Becca...

Went to the zoo....

Watched the animals....

Acted like animals (more specifically, Prairie Dogs)...

And had an amazing time just being with family!

Dentist

Well, I had read many things on the Internet regarding when and where to take your toddler to the dentist...so one afternoon I made a call and the very next day Parker was ALREADY having his first dental appointment...He's getting to be such a big boy!

This is when we first got there and he had NO idea what was going on!!

He let the nice lady polish 8 of his 16 teeth!

He loved flossing with his dinosaur flossers!

He made it through with a clean dental record and was still smiling!

Aunt Darian got MARRIED!

Well, we almost forgot that since our post in November... Aunt Darian got married and Parker and I made a trip to Missouri for the occasion! We had lots of fun with PaPa while we were there and Parker danced the night away at the reception! If you are wondering why there are not pics of Parker with his Aunt Darian at her wedding it is because when she put that white dress on and had her hair done up so pretty...he wanted nothing to do with her!!!

Checkin' things out with Uncle Ronnie!

Disney, Christmas, Snow, and Dancing!

It has been awhile, but here is what our last few months have looked like!

I think someone loves his Grammy!

DANCE PARTY!!

Ummm....

So Daddy built Parker a fort with a little entry only big enough for Parker, so when Parker wanted his Daddy to come in and play, this is how he had to enter!
