Parker's First Christmas


Very serious Parker Gallagher


Very silly Parker Gallagher

Parker spent his first Christmas at home with his Mom, Dad and Nana. On Christmas Eve, Daddy made some awesome pizzas (filet mignon/mushroom and bacon/goat cheese) and we attempted to eat seven fishes. However, we were all full after pizza, mussels and clams. Parker's Aunt Michelle came down from upstairs to join in the fun. It was a great time. Parker had many Christmas outfits to sport for the occasion. This picture was taken on Christmas Eve morning. Morning is Parker's favorite time of day, he likes to look all around, especially at the lights on the Christmas Tree.

In the afternoon on Christmas, Parker got to meet more cousins and aunts and uncles at his Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Pat's house in Clifton Park. Parker met his cousins Dermot, Brendan, Gavin and Quinn for the first time. He will have so many big boys to chase around! His cousin Molly likes to steal Parker and hold him all the time.

Parker's favorite Christmas gift was his lamby lovey from his Aunt Colleen. He loves soft things and needed something to sleep with.

For Michael and I, this was the best Christmas we could have hoped for. Parker is not only the best gift ever, but really made you think about what is most important at Christmas: family. And now we are a family of three!

Parker arrives!! Early!!


Well, it's only been 10 days of life for Parker and he has already been very busy. A facebook profile, his first Christmas, meeting his parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.

He's got a stocked wardrobe, some awesome stuffed animals and has had TONS of visitors who have brought his Mom and Dad some awesome food.

So far, Parker likes to sleep, eat, burp, hiccup and listen to Mom or Dad say anything.

Stay tuned for Parker Gallagher's adventures in life as we watch him grow up Gallagher!
