Christmas '09

Can you believe that we had a white Christmas this year. It was beautiful! I'm so excited that Parker's first Christmas was a white one! It was also Aidan's first white Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas day. We started the day by waking up at 11:30. Yes, I said 11:30. I'm sure I won't have to many more Christmas mornings like that. We are so glad the boys slept that late because James and I were up until 4:00 putting together Aidan's train table. We were exhausted to say the least, but seeing his face on Christmas morning made it totally worth it. After we all got around we went to James' family for Christmas dinner. It was so yum, and my favorite thing was a fruit salad that my mother-in-law made. It was so delicious! I ate entirely too much! After we left we went down the road to my sister's house and ate some more. We had a great time visiting. We are so blessed to have such great families, and so many people that love our boys.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse! Tonight we went to my parent's house for Christmas Eve. It was such a beautiful night. The snow was coming down, and it was great to be surrounded by my family. After we ate we decided we would watch our all time favorite Christmas movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Oh I can't tell you how much I love that movie, and the joy it brings to my heart to watch my dad laugh while we watch it. I think we have the whole thing memorized, and we quote it all year long. It was just a wonderful night, and I feel so blessed to have such an awesome family! Here are a few pictures of the boys at my parents house, and before bed in their Christmas pajamas!

Poor Misty!

Sweet Parker!

Grandma Margie loving on Parker!

I'm thinking he's not supposed to have that!

Aidan and Parker in their cute Christmas pajamas from Grandma Rosa. Thanks!

Long Winter's Nap...

Does it really get much sweeter than that? What a blessing he is to my life!

Pajama Party

We had our annual OPAT pajama party on Tuesday night. We had different crafts for the kids to make. They made reindeer food, Christmas trees, and reindeer headbands. They all turned out so cute! I just love the headbands, but Aidan wasn't too fond of them. I basically had to force him to wear it so I could get a few pictures. Isn't that what moms are supposed to do??? Aidan had such a fun time! He played and ran so hard that when we got into the car he crashed! Parker pretty much slept the whole time. Seems to be his favorite past time. It was a great party, and I love what I do! I am truly blessed to have such a fun, family oriented job!

2 Month Checkup

So we went for Parker's two month visit and he is doing wonderful! He is growing like a weed, literally! He weighs 15.7 pounds and is almost 24 inches long. That is above 95% in weight and 75% in height. He's a big boy, and a great eater. Dr. Cole said he was doing great, and to keep doing what we are doing! He also rolled over for the first time from his tummy to his back at the doctor's office. I think he was showing out because he hasn't done it since. After the checkup he had to get shots, and that was terrible! I hate holding his arms when they do that. It just makes me feel awful! I know I am doing what is best for him, but it is still hard! We are very thankful that he is doing so well, and go back in two months for his 4 month visit.

Curious George Live!

We took Aidan to see Curious George Live on Friday night. I have to say he had a great time, but couldn't make it through the whole show! Afterwards, we went to eat at Zio's and he ate so much. It was nice getting to spend some time with just him. I know that is so important because I think sometimes he feels a little jealous. Mr. Parker stayed with my sister Sandra. They had a great time with him. I'm pretty sure his back didn't touch anything besides someones arm most of the time we were gone. They kind of like him. My sister said he smiled and cooed all night long.

2 Months

Parker, I can't believe I'm writing this post. Where has my little baby gone! You are two months old, and are the sweetest little guy! I wish I could stop time, and keep you this age forever! Too bad it doesn't work like that. We went to eat the other night and the waiter asked me if I had a 4 monther. I laughed and said try 7 weeks. You are such a big boy! What a blessing you are and we can't wait to watch you continue to grow and develop. Some of the things you are doing these days are:
1. You are smiling a lot, and I love it!
2. You will "talk" to us when we talk to you.
3. We go to the Dr on Monday so not quite sure of your weight and height!
4. You have the funniest cry when you want to be held. It is so pitiful and cute!
5. You can hold your head pretty steady.
6. You can track things.
7. You know my voice. If I start to talk to you and don't pick you up I am in big trouble. You will usually immediately start your "hold me" cry.
8. You loved to be rocked and sung too. At night I will usually rock you and sing to you until you fall to sleep. It has become my favorite time of the day.
9. You laugh in your sleep.
10. Your belly is so much better, any we are all happy about that.
11. You are still eating every 3 hours, but there is one time during the night where you will usually stretch it to 5 hours. That makes me a happy girl!
12. You have also started drooling a ton. I hope this doesn't mean you are trying to cut teeth. Surely not!
13. You lift your head up when we are having "tummy time." Not you most favorite time of the day!

You are the best baby, and we love you to pieces. I thank God every day for you and your brother. You both have made my world a better place. I can't imagine life without you. Your daddy and I always laugh and joke about before we had you and Aidan. Our life was so boring. I love you little boy!
