2 Months Old!

Parker turned 2 months old last week!

Right now he loves to smile and lay down to kick his legs. He sleeps through most of the night just waking up once or maybe twice for a feeding. His favorite toy is his puppy wubbanub and he loves to watch his Grandma Tammy and Auntie TeriAnn during facetime chats!

Parker loved the sun we had last week!

Parker made my first Mothers Day extra special. Daddy did all of the night time feedings so that I could sleep and did all of the cooking and cleaning so that Parker and I could just relax. 

This $10 swing is the best thing that I ever bought! 

Parker at church last Saturday night. He usually sleeps through most of service. He especially loves the music during worship.

Salem had a second hand sale last week where I got this awesome playmat that Parker LOVES to lay under!

Andy wanted to make sure that Parker wasn't the only one featured on the blog so this is him drinking the first beer from his latest batch :) 

Oregon Spring Game

Last weekend Grandma Tammy came into town!!! Parker was so excited to spend the weekend with Grandma, Uncle James, Auntie Kenna and Auntie Lizzy! 

We spent Saturday down in Eugene at the Ducks spring game. James thought we were going to the Rose Bowl and Makenna kept explaining that it was just a practice. 

After the game we walked out on the field. Parker loved his first time at Autzen stadium!

Daddy may have been more excited than Parker :)

We even got to see Nick!

We spent Sunday at the Oregon AG Fest. The kids got to see baby chicks, pet animals, dig for potatoes, and climb on tractors. 

Parker wore his overalls for the occasion!

This is Parker and Daddy listening to Will Smith radio on Pandora and dancing. 

We've had a rough day or two with a grouchy baby. We think that he is probably getting sick and plan on heading to the doctors first thing Monday morning. It could be a long week!

1 Month Old!!!

Parker turned one month old on Sunday! I have no idea where the month went and how he got so big!!! His big milestones for this month are starting to smile, getting a very strong neck and enjoying his tummy time and bath time :)

We spent Saturday night over at the coast with Andy's parents. Parker slept the entire time we walked the beach.  

The hotel we stayed at had a warm swimming pool and Parker LOVED the water!!! We had no swim diaper or swim trunks but we made it work for the 5 minutes that he was in the water. 

He was fussy all day for the first time on Sunday and Monday. When we went to lactation group on Tuesday we talked with a nurse and found out that he has an infection in his mouth called Thrush. The medicine turns his mouth purple! His treatment is done tomorrow but we also have to treat me so that we don't keep passing it back to each other. My treatment will be done in a week and we have to sterilize everything for the next week. It's a lot more work and we will be glad when everything is back to normal!

4 weeks old!

Happy Easter everyone! Easter was Parker's first Sunday in church. You can see how happy he was to go :) We are very thankful that our church has a wonderful mommy room where you can still see and hear everything in the sermon. Parker slept through the service but had a very noisy sleep so we spent most of the time in that room! Doesn't he look cute all dressed up?

We love our bath times now! He started his last bath by peeing in the water and ended it with spitting up in the water. What a boy! 

This is what we look like when Daddy gets us dressed in the morning!

We had beautiful weather this week and somehow Daddy convinced us to go golfing with him. Parker slept almost the entire time in his moby. 

The first of many times golfing with Dad!

We are trying to get into the habit of reading to him every night. This book was a little long but he enjoyed the first few pages!

Week 3

We are settling into some routines now and starting to figure out what kind of schedule Parker likes for his day! Right now our days are filled with sleeping and feedings with a few lactation appointments and doctors appointments mixed in.

Parker slept through his first shopping trip to the outlet mall

One of our many naps during the day

We held off for three weeks but Parker finally got his pacifier or "plug" as we call it. We are trying not to use it much but it sure does help during diaper changes and late at night!

On Sunday we went for our first walk. It wouldn't be a walk in Oregon without a little bit of rain!

Parker started out sleeping in a co-sleeper in the middle of our bed but we are working on slowly transitioning him into a pack-n-play bassinet that is right next to our bed. Ashley introduced us to swaddlers and they are a huge help in getting him to sleep!

Ready to watch opening day baseball with Daddy! We can't believe that he has already lost his newborn look and is so big already! At a check up yesterday he was already 8 pounds 6 ounces.

Week 1 and 2

Our first two weeks were filled with lots of visitors!
