Parley J

**warning picture overload

My little Parley Jacob. You are my precious baby. I am loving you to death. I cover you in kisses and snuggles all day. You are a perfect baby, just like your sister and brother. I love you more every single day i get to hold you. Im amazed how my heart has grown to hold such immense love for 3 perfect beautiful children. You give me butterfly's when you look deep into my eyes. You make me tear up when you snuggle deep into my neck. Oh how i love you son, oh how I love you.
Here are his blessing outfit pictures:

 And just cause...look at that adorable sad face...i love it.

My littlest man as of lately. . . This is his 1 month update, very very late or maybe his 2 month just a little early, sorry buddy mommy is stretched thin and forgets lots of things

--has give his first smiles. They are rare, and hard to get, but you can get them. I have only gotten them when  he gets a big ol kissy from mommy. He will grin so beautifully.

--He is getting so big!! I took him in at 6 weeks to the pediatrician and he has hit 10lb 10oz...he was 7lb 5oz at birth. Not to shabby son, not too shabby.

--You are a spitty baby. I have never dealt with so much spit up. It comes up almost immediately after eating, dont even get a chance to get you up to my shoulder. At times you have even spit up, WHILE eating. I despise those times cause i get drenched. The pediatrician gave ya some Zantac for acid reflux because your poor little throat was so sore that your voice was horse. Now, after almost a week on meds, your scratchy raspy cry has gotten lots better. Poor little Mr. breaks mommys heart. But, with all that spit up, you are still a growin man, so i cant complain.

--You another perfect sleeper. The other night you slep 8.5 hours without a feeding. Blessed child. I love you. Typically you go down for the night at 9PM and get up anywhere between 3 and 5 depending on the night. Then you eat again and go back to sleep till 7 or 8. Then awake for about an hour maybe 2, then back down for a quicky. You stay up till about noon then you sleep till 4 or 5 eat. stay awake till 7ish take a quicky nap till 8. Get you all ready for bed then start the whole thing over.
--You finally took a liking to your swing, but dont totally love it. You do however love the bouncer chair on vibrate with mommy bouncing it, you love that and calm down almost instantly when we do it.
--You tolerate a binki. We try so hard, your not sold on that strange rubber thing we stick in your mouth, but in desperation, you will take it at times. You prefer your mommy as a binki....lovely.
--You love to snuggle. Oh sweetness you love to be close. I have never let your brother or sister sleep with me as much as i let you. You LOVE to be tucked up next to me. I dont sleep well this way, but you sure do enjoy it.

 --All your adoring fans...daycare loves you. You get kissed and mauled all day long.

Look at that pleasant happy face....he doesnt even mind his brother , in face you look like your enjoying it. 

 --You are a champion in the car. You just sleep. Just like your big brother. We love you for that. Even smashed between your bro and sister, you still just sleep.
--You love your brother and sister. You have been know to flinch when they come around. But i cant blame you when an object moving very quickly and loudly comes right up in your face to give kisses.

Snoozing in his bouncer 

 Sleeping on mommy and daddys bed on your tummy. Heaven.

Who doesnt love a yawny face

Elvis face....goes right along with the long side burns and hair

such a pleasant boy

Birthday Party

Because the kids bdays are so close, because we had a brand new baby, and because its easier to get family down just once for a bday party and not twice, we did another combined bday party for the kids. I asked Kyler what kind of party he wanted....COWBOY was his reply. So after looking around at a few easy ideas this is the party we came up with. I think birthdays are a big deal. Its a day to make them feels special. This year was harder with Parley being so new, but i tried to make their days special and make their party big.
I think it turned out great. The kids had a great time and thats really all that matters in the end. Thanks to everyone who made it.

 We ate some food

 played some musical chairs to western music

 We busted open a homemade pathetic looking pinatia with a stick horse!

 All the kids got pool noodle horses i made...they were pretty cute

 and we had a race

 Then we had cupcakes!

 Then opened a slew of presents

 Brookie in her new hat and with her new baby stroller and baby doll

 Kyler got his hat and Uncle Travis gave him a "real" gun in Kylers eyes. That day alone we went through over 600 snaps

My absolute favorite picture this year

 At the end of the day they sat down, hats and all, with another cupcake on the kitchen floor to watch Lady and the Tramp while mommy cleaned up. Perfect day i would say!
