Getting my ears lowered

It was definitely time for a hair cut. Parker's hair was about three inches long and he would have some crazy bed head and curls sticking straight out!! We took him to the Kids Snips in Vernon Hills and he did pretty good...until the trimmers. He wasn't the biggest fan of those! But he looks like such a handsome little boy now ... where did the baby go?!?

We haven't attempted playing in the snow again, but Nana got us a full set of winter gear for Christmas. We need to plan a day sledding!! Here is Parker watching daddy shoveling the snow.

Parker has been obsessed with the stairs lately so we finally broke down and bought a gate. There is a window in the middle of our steps so the gate is just leaning between the banisters. Parker is loving having one step available to him. He is constantly bringing his toys over and leaving them on the step. He is climbing up and standing on the step. Sometimes he can scoot back down on his belly; other times he asks for help and hold my hand as he jumps/falls back down to the floor.
