New Pictures of 7 Week Old Parker James!

It seems like it has been forever since I had the time to post a blog...believe me, I have been trying!!! Lately it seems like there has just been so much going on in our little apartment. It took us a little while to get back on our schedule after Thanksgiving. We put up our Christmas decorations and our little tree (literally). We have an aluminum tree that belonged to my grandparents. It is one of the ones you always see at the antique stores now. My Grandma Sy kept it in amazing condition and it still looks great even though it is so old. This tree reminds me of her, which I absolutely love! I miss her so much all the time and it is great to have something that brings back good memories. She always knew how to make the holidays, an already amazing time, EVEN BETTER.

Parker is getting so big. It is hard to believe that he is already 7 weeks old! He is making so much more noise now. He "coos" all the time and grunts a bit too. A new obsession with the T.V. has started early--he stares at it no matter where we put him. Parker also loves the lights on the Christmas tree. He loves to play on his activity mat and bat at all the toys. He has the most fantastic smile, and he shows it to us quite a bit now. He sleeps a solid 8 hours at night now, which we LOVE!!! Now that he is awake more during the day we really get to see what a content and amazing boy he really is. It had been a while since I put some pictures up on the blog, so here they are!!!

THANKSGIVING AT THE OFRANCIA HOUSE

PARKER JAMES--THANKSGIVING WEEKEND AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE

I LOVE THIS PICTURE--HE IS REALLY STARTING TO FOCUS ON EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE

PARKER & DADDY TAKING A NAP...WELL, DADDY TAKING A NAP!

THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS...A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFO: the burp you hear in the background is Travis, Parker spits up almost immediately afterward (probably trying to compete with Daddy and 1-UP him) and he is totally staring at the television...not at me!

GIVING THE EVIL EYE...HE IS GOOD AT THAT ONE! USUALLY HIS FOREHEAD IS ALL WRINKLED!

PARKER'S VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT--THANK YOU GRANDMA JAMMI AND GRANDPA LEE!

I LIKE TO CALL THIS VIDEO "THE RED BIRD BEAT DOWN"--PARKER IS SERIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH THIS RED BIRD AND NOW THAT HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO HIT THINGS AND MAKE THEM SWING IT IS ALL HE WANTS TO DO!
