Almost 2 months

Parker.

Seriously. How has it been almost 2 months since you were born. You made us wait and wait and wait. You were so worth the wait. You arrived at the perfect time. You have been so sweet, content, and happy. You don't mind the chaos that is around us 24/7. I wish I could be as relaxed as you.

You are quickly outgrowing your 3 month outfits and started wearing some 6 month sizes. You are also in size 2 diapers since you outgrew the 1's before we could even use them all up! Thankfully we were gifted lots of diapers and have plenty for now.

You are eating 4.5ounces six times a day. Your first feeding of the day is between 6-7am and your last between 10-11pm. You usually sleep soundly though sometimes around 3ish you wake yourself up. I either ignore you (poor 3rd child) or give you the pacifier and you go back to sleep.

You have a yucky case of cradle cap. So you got an oil scalp massage. Ok it was me putting oil all over your head and then combing the dry skin off. I need to do round 2 soon.

You are still so serious. You smile every so often and it is such a treat. You also started giggling a little in your sleep. I always wonder what is so funny to you.

Brendan told me he likes you but he wishes you were older so you could play and share a room with him. He also asked why we didn't name you Wilson.

Lila still loves to help out. She also wants you to sleep in her room. I can only imagine how many babies she would give you to sleep with.

You have had a few new visitors lately. I love how much joy you bring to others. People just want to pack you up and take you with them. We have not let this happen:)

We visited a friend yesterday who is on bed rest with her second. She just cuddled you while I played with Lila. Her little baby was kicking you. I am sure you will be good little friends once he is born.

The weather finally turned nice. Yay spring! We spent the afternoon outside yesterday and you played in the baby tent. I anticipate many days in the backyard like this.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks...

  1. He's so cute! Seems like it will take forever for our little girl to get here, but then I read your first couple lines and think,
    Yes, it does go fast. Doesn't seem like it now, but she will be 2 months old before I know it!
    Glad things are going well with him. :)
