1 month old and counting!

Some things that I have learned about being a mom:

• You have no idea when pee or poop might come. (Including when you are changing a diaper!) As Curtis would say, "You never thought you would love someone that peed on you, did you?"
• I'm grateful for a washer and dryer so I don't have to wash all his dirty clothes by hand, because he goes through a lot of them!
• Sleeping babies are so cute.
• Time to do things that doesn't involve changing diapers, feeding, or rocking isn't as free as it used to be.
• Having a baby snuggle up next to you and sleep is priceless.
• I never knew that you could instantly love someone so much.
• A smile can melt your heart.

All in all, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a mom. Parker is such a good baby as well. Last night he slept for about 7 and 1/2 hours. (I know, I'm SO lucky!) We feel so blessed to have Parker. He has brought a very special spirit into our home. Having a little baby completely changes your life, but it is so worth it!

Now, I will give you a WARNING: This post contains A LOT of pictures! What can I say, he is just so cute!!!Parker in his robe after getting a bath. He loves his bathtime! (I even get him wet sometimes and he doesn't seem to mind. He usually just looks at me seeming to say, "What are you doing?" I'm getting him started on being a good waterfighter for the future. What can I say, he does have Falslev genes...)
Parker asleep on his daddy. (Curtis is such a good daddy by the way!)

Parker and his cousin Max.

Here is one of the cutest smiles ever!!! He gets really happy in the morning and smiles a lot.

He also loves to sit in the rocking swing. It never fails that he usually falls asleep in what looks like uncomfortable positions. However, when I tried to move him the other day he started crying. Then when I left him alone he went right back to sleep. It must not be that uncomfortable for him.

He is also a pretty strong little guy. His neck muscles are getting strong and so are his legs! He loves to look around everywhere.

Another one of those cute little smiles that can melt your heart...

I just love this picture...it just goes to show that he is a happy baby.

In this picture he was almost giggling. It was so great. I'm glad that I got some of it on camera!

Parker and his other 2 cousins. Trey is about 6 months and Jace is about 2 months.

Parker, Jace, and Trey again.

Jace was really happy in this picture. Parker was asleep and even though his ear is being grabbed, it didn't bother him in the slightest. (He sleeps like his mom...)

Parker with his cousin Justin.

This is when we were taking him home from the hospital...This was the other day...He is getting SO BIG!
