Our Baby is 4 Months Old!!!

Parker had his 4 month check up on 4/15 (yes, I am a little behind). He weighed 16lbs 7oz and was 25 1/2 inches tall. He is in the upper 75th percentile for both height and weight. He is growing and changing so much. He has learned to sit up on his own, he can blow raspberries and bubbles. He can hold his toys and bring them to his mouth. He talks, tells stories, and even threw his first temper tantrum. He rolls over front to back, but not back to front. he doesn't like to be on his tummy so why would he roll onto it. He loves his jumper-roo, but we had a problem last weekend. Parker was in his jumperoo while I did some homework. I went to pick him up and stepped in something slimey. To my surprise, and dismay, Parker and pooped... and it went EVERYWHERE!! He turned the floor into a slip and slide of poop. Being the good mother that I am, I grabbed the camera before I cleaned him up.

Looks like he was enjoying it.

Our boys are the sweetest things I have ever seen! Hit Play to see the video

Easter 2009

Parker turned 4 months old on Easter. It is amazing to think he is so big. We had a wonderful day at Grandma Colyers. During the festivites Parker learned how to sit up on his own. He has been able to sit up for seconds at a time, but now he has moved on to minutes. It is so fun to watch him grow.

Easter Pics of Boys

Kiara did her magic and gave us amazing Easter pics of the boys. Megan and Jessie showed up with their girls at the end and we got a couple shots with all 4 babies, but they didn't turn out so well. Surprisingly, it is a little difficult to get 4 babies to listen.

Happy Easter!!!

We hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter with the people you love! Love~ Matt, Cassidy, Cherie, Parker, Masen, Isabella, Avery & Doja

Take me out to the Ball Game!

We spent last weekend in Phoenix with Matt's Dad and his friend Bill. They flew down from Wisconsin to watch some spring training games. We drove to Phoenix on Saturday and spent a couple hours at Matt company picnic. They had reserved a few ramadas and had a HUGE picnic. The park had an urban lake, a playground, a train, and the coolest grill ramada. The company had rented jumping castles and the normal company picnic stuff. Parker and I were able to meet some of Matt's co-workers and his boss so it was fun. We spent Saturday night in Phoenix and went to to a Brewer's spring training game on Sunday. We hadn't been to Maryvale before so it was pretty cool. Grandpa Jim brought Parker a bunch of Brewer gear so we were all decked out. Parker loved his first baseball game, and Daddy did too. Matt caught a foul ball in the air with his bare hands. He was pretty excited about that. Parker loved spending time with his Grandpa Jim and misses him very much!! Well, I started my writing class yesterday. Both my classes are pretty intensive, so I will be spending most of my free time on homework. I will do my best to update when I can but it may be more sporadic than I would like. I promise that after I graduate (can you believe it) on May 21st I will post pics every week!!!

What a week, or three

We have had a busy 3 weeks, as always. We had a visit from Dawn, I returned to work, and baby Masen was born. Life keeps changing, but it just seems to get better. Work is good. I am learning a new area of accounting so I have a new challenge. Parker is going to my Mom's daycare for the first few months and it is going really well. Parker loves all the attention, and he loves to interact with the other kids. All the activity has helped him to begin sleeping through the night. Yeah for me!!! At first I would still wake up, but last night we all got a full 8 hours of uniteruppted sleep. It was WONDERFUL! Parker also hit a big milestone, he rolled over for the first time on his 3 month birthday. He has never liked tummy time, so when I had him on his belly he rolled right back to his back. He did it twice more in front of Matt on the same night, but hasn't done it again since.

Here is Parker & Avery.

She gets a little upset when Parker gets her spot on the bed.

We had lots of fun when Dawn was in town. We went hiking and had a picnic at Sabino Canyon. There was a lot of water, but it was still a little to cold to go swimming. We did put our feet (Parkers too) in the water during lunch.

Bathtime fun!

Sleepy time

3 month Pictures by Aunt Kiara

I am very lucky to have such a talented family. My sister has always been an avid photographer when it comes to her kids, and now with the fun things you can do on the computer she can make them all artsy. Here are some of the pics of Parker at 3months old (Can you believe it's already been 3 months!!!!)
