Really excited about....

.....this show starting in the fall.

One month old.

REMEMBER THIS?

THAT WAS A MONTH AGO!!

 

My sweet boy is now 9 pounds, 4 ounces, and 21 inches long.  He is growing like a weed.  I can't believe it's already been a month.  He has been sleeping every three hours, which feels like heaven after a night when he was up for five hours.  He LOVES to eat (or drink???). 

PARKER,

You are my life.  I can hardly remember life before you.   I wish I could stop the time and you could be my tiny baby forever, but I can't wait to see your personality develop.  You make me the happiest I've ever been.  Just don't grow up too fast.  

Love, Mommy

Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad!!!

We are a day late, but Happy Father's Day.  We had a great day celebrating Bryan's first Father's Day.  There's not a whole lot you can do with a newborn (kind of....he will be a month old at the end of this week), but we had a fun day of spending time together and celebrating Daddy.

Parker was a very sweet boy and got his daddy tickets to see Maroon 5 for Father's Day.  Mommy and Daddy are both pretty excited about this. 

I love watching Bryan with Parker.  It is the best feeling ever to know someone else loves your child just as much as you do.  It was always a goal of mine to marry someone who would be an amazing dad.  I'm so lucky to have found that. 

Daddy --

Mommy, Parker & Chloe love you so much and can't imagine a world without you.  We hope you had the best Father's Day and we can't wait to celebrate you every year from here on out!!!

Love, love, love.

This little boy is growing.  We are still learning and progressing together, but things are still amazing.  I was pretty emotional the first two weeks, but I am feeling more normal these days.  I ventured out of the house three times this past weekend.  I ran an errand on Friday, went to the salon on Saturday, and went to my best friend's 30th birthday brunch on Sunday.  I still have not seen him take a bottle because every time he gets one, I am gone.  He seems to do fine with taking one, though.  

I'm trying not to count down the days until I go back to work, but I know it's going to creep up on me.  I love my job, but I love my baby boy SO much more.  I know that day is going to be a sad one.  

My boy is a sweet one, but he has quite a temper at times.  No one that has come to visit him can believe this because he sleeps the entire time he is around anyone else....BUT there are some times when he can get pretty upset.  It's actually pretty funny.  

I'm off to Mommy Land.  I'll try to get a new video up soon!!!

2 weeks old already :(

Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen???

My sweet boy had a busy day today.  We had to go to the pediatrician this morning because Mommy was nervous about a purple toe.  Thankfully, everything appears to be normal to them.  Then later this afternoon, he had to go back to the hospital to get his foot pricked again.  I think I cried more than he did.  Then Mommy had a doctor's appointment.  He was NOT happy after he got his foot pricked, so he was screaming in the waiting room at my doctor's appt.  I felt like everyone was staring at me.  I had to get him out of the stroller and try to drive the stroller with my left hand and hold a screaming, fussy baby in my right hand.  It was quite an adventure.  Of course, by the time we got home, he was asleep.  :) 

Time is flying by.  Before I know it, I'm going to have a toddler.  I'm trying to cherish every minute with him right now.  I know it will go by so fast and I won't have my tiny baby anymore. 

11 days old.

In. Love.

I am absolutely in love with this boy:

LOOK at those lips.  He is the prettiest thing I've ever seen.....and we made him.  AMAZING.  

Things around here have been busy.  Bryan went back to work on Wednesday and my mom left on Tuesday, so me and my boy have been spending some time alone together this week.  I am slowly learning what he likes and doesn't like.  He loves to be swaddled and he loves his mommy and daddy to hold him.  He does not like to be naked, get a bath, or get his diaper changed. 

Mommies always told me that I wouldn't understand the feeling that a mommy has for her baby until I actually had him, and they were so right.  The love I have for him is indescribable.  I had a mini breakdown last night because I love him so much and I would DIE if anything ever hurt him.  Basically I was crying because I love him so, so much.  Crazy?  Maybe.  It probably doesn't make any sense, but my emotions and feelings for him are out of control.  He is just perfection to me.  

There are so many things that have been going on this past week, but at this point in time all I can think to write about is how perfect he is and how in love with him I am....oh, and his daddy is completely in love with him, too.  :)
