4 Months!!!! Wow!!

I'm busy napping so I'm going to have Mommy take care of this post....

Parker is just growing by leaps and bounds. I can't believe how big he is getting. As of yesterday he is 25 1/2 inches long, 14 lbs and 12 oz, and his head is 16 3/4 inches around. This puts him pretty squarely in the 75th percentile.

The doctor says he is very healthy and developing right on schedule. So we started solid foods today. Rice cereal mixed with prunes. We're doing the prunes because he just isn't regular enough. She encouraged us to continue to get him to work on sleeping through the night and taking 2 naps daily. I agree with her, Parker doesn't.

Parker is now sitting up supported, sucking on is hands, smiling, laughing, and pushing up on his tummy. He even trys to get his knees under him. Oh boy, I'm in trouble.
He loves to hang out and nap in his bouncy seat. He has two one downstairs and one in his room. He likes to sleep propped up, it makes breathing a lot easier. For those of you who don't know Parker has had a few issues with wheezing. Right now he is fine and we'll be watching for any further issues as cold and flu season continues.
Parker loves to smile at anyone who makes silly faces. So you can guess big bro Bryce cracks him up all day long. Stay tuned for more updates as the year goes on. The doctor is guessing he'll be crawling by Christmas....ughhhhhhhhhhh :-)

Trick or Treat...aren't I sweet???

Don't me and my big bro look sweet? This is our buddy "Bob the Builder" aka Travis.
Me and Daddy waving "Hi".
Nana and I match...who knew I'd be a M&M 49er fan.
Mommy and Me ... aren't we cute?
This is becoming a serious habit Aunt Lisa...can't wait until I can share.

Parker Partying

I have been out partying quite a bit lately. You can't keep a good baby down.

The gang problem in Maricopa is really getting out of control.


Bryce said I stole his outfit and his pose. I think he's just jealous.


Finally, some 1:1 time with my girlfriend...


...quickly interrupted by our siblings. :(

Who was that baby???

So the answer to the burning question..."who was that baby?"

It was Parker's mommy at 3 weeks old.

Who is that baby???

So who is this baby????

And who is this baby????


Go ahead and post in the comment section if you think you know.

Seven Weeks and Growing

Can you believe it? I'm already 6 weeks old. I'm starting to get into a routine around this crazy place. I take two long naps a day once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Mommy takes Bryce and I twice a weeks to this place where she pushes us around in a stroller. Bryce calls it Stroller Strides. She also likes to take me somewhere to buy what she calls food. Don't ask me, I get all of my food directly from her about 8 or 9 times a day. Which is why I am growing so big. Mommy guesses I'm about 10lbs now and 21 1/2 inches long.

Today I helped Mommy take Bryce to pre-school and then we went grocery shopping. I had the best nap!

At night I sleep from about 10:30/11:oo PM to about 3:00 AM and then get up again around 6:00AM. Of course last night I was up several times. I had a bit of a tummy ache. Which Mommy found out about the last time she picked me up from my cradle...you should of seen her face it was soooooo funny. But Bryce's was even better. I'm such a little stinker.

I've learned to smile now. These are real smiles, not just the ones when I have gas. I am also getting really good at lifting my head up. The doctor told Mommy, I'd probably be crawling by 6 months, walking by 9 months, and running by 10 months. For some strange reason Mommy fainted. She really is a funny lady.

I adore my big brother Bryce, I just can't take my eyes off of him. He is just so funny!!! He makes the best faces. I can't wait to play with him.

Well, that's all for now...I've got to go take a nap. This "baby thing" is a lot of hard work. Oh and check out the slideshow over in the corner of the page...I've added a few new photos.

Just short of 4 weeks

Well it has been just short of 4 weeks since Parker entered the world. We have found that for the most part he is a very "easy" baby. He only gets upset when he is wet, dirty, hungry, or needing to be held. All of which are quick easy fixes. He eats about every 2 or 3 hours which is causing a loss of sleep for Mommy and Daddy at night. He also slightly has day and night backwards, which is contributing to sleep loss for Mommy and Daddy. However, Parker's nighttime crying doesn't even phase Big Brother Bryce. Bryce adores his baby brother and just can't wait until Parker is old enough to play with him. He wants to hold and love on him all the time. Which leads to us saying "Don't wake the baby" a lot. We're taking Parker for his 1 month check up on Friday, which is Daddy's birthday. So we'll have more to report then.
