A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words

Here are some pictures that are just too cute for words! Not much else to say...everything with the Guion Family is going well.

Parker James is our little thinker...he always looks so cute when he sleeps!

Parker and cousin Drayson were so cute holding hands on the activity mat together...well...it was more like Drayson clamped on to Parker and didn't want to let go. Still so cute!!!

When we were visiting my sister Sara and Chip I was looking at the two of them next to each other and all I could think of was that garbage bag commercial..."hefty, hefty, hefty---wimpy, wimpy, wimpy"...I'll let you decide which you think is which!!!

Caleb is such a big helper with his cousin Parker. He just wanted to help Nonni feed him, instead we let him feed him all by himself. I can't believe how big Caleb is getting!!!

A Weekend With The Uncles!

We had a wonderful weekend! Tyler and Shane, Trav's brothers, were finally able to make it over to see Parker. (And it was great to have some extra hands while Trav was at work ...holding Parker and feeding him.) Tyler and I even ventured to the mall with Parker while Shane took a nap and Travis was at work. Parker did great, he just slept the whole time. The only pain is having to take the elevator to the different floors because of the stroller! It was nice to just get out of the apartment for a while, too! It was awesome to get to see Parker with his uncles! They will both make great "Daddies" (if that ever really happens!!!...we're waiting).

It was a long weekend full of fun. It was enough to tire Parker and Mommy out!!! Travis caught us napping and snapped a couple of pictures! He always catches me sleeping...at least now I am not alone! Parker is getting so big and he is such a sweet boy. I really think he will be smiling in no time.


Another fun picture from the weekend was Parker playing on his activity mat and Deacon guarding him! Deacon likes to keep close to the baby, it is so sweet! He really wants to play with the baby. He lays with his paws on the activity mat and puts his ball on it. It is so funny.

Fun Times...&... Not-So-Fun Times

On Saturday, my mom came to visit! It was great to see her. She had gotten an activity mat for Parker and had a few other things to bring up to us. Parker LOVES the activity mat. Especially the red bird! You can see him having a little stare-down with it in the picture. He just sits in his Boppy pillow on the activity mat and stares at the bird and the lights. It is so funny to watch him get so captivated by something! After Saturday was over with...we took Sunday to relax because we knew that Parker had his 2 week doctor's appointment and circumcision on Monday. Poor little guy!



On Monday we headed to the pediatrician's office. The doctor said that he is doing great! Usually at the 2 week check they like to see newborns get back to their birth weight. When Parker was born he weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. On Monday, he weighed a whopping 8 lbs. 8 oz. He was also an inch longer. He is growing so fast! He did such a great job at the appointment and afterwards. We are so blessed with such an amazing little guy. The picture below shows him in his carrier after the appointment. You can see what a trooper he really is! He looked so cute in his little cow zippy! Thanks Nonni and Poppa Kev-O.

Happy Halloween!!!

Today was a big day for Parker and Mommy. I am actually allowed to drive again, so...we decided to venture out of the apartment and visit Daddy at work! I got Parker dressed in his Halloween outfit, and out the door we went. Of course Parker slept through the whole thing. This was fine because it meant that he wasn't screaming in public! He looked so cute in his little outfit and he has just been a dream today!!! He slept in a 5 hour, then a 4 hour chunk last night. It was great. He didn't even really cry in the middle of the night. Travis didn't even wake up and put the pillow over his head last night!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween. I can't wait until Parker is big enough to go Trick-OR-Treating!!!
