Which one would you have chosen?

I took Parker to get his pictures taken this last week and it was quite the challenge. He would smile and then immediately look down. He tried to eat his shoes because he LOVES his shoes and he loves his shoes and shoelaces. We tried putting him on his stomach and he would either kick like he was swimming or bury his face into the table. We finally got him to sit up and he thought it would be funny to stick his tongue out. He did this many times, but we only got one on camera! Since he wasn't cooperating, we thought that we might as well give him a prop to play with. The camera person wanted to give him a cute teddy bear, but I insisted that Parker's Daddy would not like that. Instead, we found a football to make our boy look tough! Well, this brought on the next difficulty - eating! Parker wants to put everything in his mouth and the football was no exception! We did manage to get him to look up a few times. All in all, we survived the picture experience again! It was then the challenge of picking the best pictures! Which would you have chosen?


In other notes, Parker is starting to really grow up. It is hard to believe that he is almost 8 months old. His new favorite thing is play with all of his new toys he got for Christmas. He loves to throw them, eat them, and push the buttons. His only request is that I help pick them up when they are no longer in reach. He definitely keeps me on my toes!
