Three months

Three very short months ago, God gave us Parker.


In those months, I have felt my heart grow to a size I did not know existed.


I have watched my "baby" turn into a big boy overnight...literally.


I have watched my husband become a better father and husband.


I have fallen in love with a stranger for the second time in my life. It's like nothing else in the world.

Happy Three Months, Parker. To say that I love you would be an understatement.

>Front yard fun

>Today, Conner was playing in the front yard. I tried to snap some pictures and he wasn't at all cooperative. Nothing new when it comes to my taking pictures.

Of course he had his tractor.




I asked him to lay on his tummy like mommy.


He tells me "nooooo" while he points his little finger at me.


He wanted to just dance around and run.


I did get one that I love.

>What now?

>I've been sitting here watching Parker kick and listening to him squeal. As I sit, I have been wondering what to blog about. We've been busy but not really busy doing anything; just busy. Parker is growing so fast; I can barely keep up. He's wearing 6mo clothes already. Someone please remind this baby that he is not even 3 mos old yet. He talks and smiles and is starting to do some version of a laugh. Seriously, it's adorable. I need to get a video. He's a great sleeper. He will sleep at least 5 hours every night. I'm so thankful for that!


Conner is still Conner. He's busy and fun. He is talking a lot more; it's almost like he has a new word everyday. It's definitely been a language explosion lately. He doesn't eat much though. He loves junk food; who doesn't. It's a constant fight to get him to eat any good foods. He still isn't sleeping through the night. He gets up once.


We started going to playgroup again. It's very refreshing for me to get out and Conner loves the other kids. It sounds stupid, but playgroup is really a break for me. Today, we are going to a farm. Here's a pic of the 3 of us at playgroup.

How am I? I'm doing alright. The meds have certainly helped me and I am enjoying my kids more.

>Dollywood Part Two

>While we were in Dollywood, we went to the Dixie Stampede. It is a great show and they even serve you dinner while you are there. I don't have any pictures b/c they don't allow any photographing. The kids were both great and the food was just ok. Conner LOVED the horses and cows. Of course, we went back to the park and rode more rides and played until Conner was exhausted.






He loved the obstacle course that was set up for kids. Josh loved the other one. I just took the pictures.

>Kicked out

>After I nursed Parker at 6:30, he wanted nothing to do w/his own bed. They win...or maybe I do; I'm drinking coffee in silence.
