And so it begins...

Father and son watching football...I guess it is that time of year! (I just didn't think that Parker would be as into the game as Curtis.)

We also bought Parker a bouncer. He loves it!

Here's just a couple of pictures of him smiling...he is getting so fun! He giggled for the first time the other day when I was tickling him. SO CUTE!!!

As for other news, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! We are so excited!

Family Events

So we have had a lot of family events this past week. Parker was blessed on August 1st. We were glad to have most of our families at his blessing. I was going to try to get more pictures of Parker in his blessing outfit, but he decided to poop all over it after this picture...so needless to say, it didn't happen.

Then Jason and Charity got married on August 7th. We are so excited to have Charity and Jace in our family!

I thought this was a great picture of Grandpa Falslev and Parker...

Then the next day was baby Jane's blessing...I didn't get any pictures of that, but it was a great day!

Parker keeps growing and growing. He's getting to be a big boy! He still loves his bathtime. He's grown all the way into his robe...

He is such a good baby! We love him. He rolled over for the first time this past week. I couldn't believe it!

Parker's First Adventure

Last weekend we went down the Snake river with my family and some of my cousins. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We were a little nervous about taking Parker camping, but he did great! (Don't worry, Parker didn't get to go down the river....Grandma Falslev watched him while we went.)

Here's all of us that went down the river the time that Curtis and I went.

So when it was time for bed, we bundled Parker up really well! It was really cold, so I was nervous he would be grumpy, but he slept the whole night, like usual. When he woke up at about 6 to eat, I needed to change his diaper. So since it was still super cold, I changed his diaper as fast as I could. He didn't know what to think of being that cold. But when I wrapped him back up in his covers, I got straight smiles for about 10 minutes. He loved being warm again!

Isn't he just the cutest little guy ever?!

Parker and his daddy all bundled up.... All in all it was a really fun trip! We were glad we got to go.

As for other things happening...baby Jane arrived and Parker is no longer the youngest cousin! Crazy how time flies. This is the two of them together.

I really couldn't believe how big Parker was compared to Jane. He is growing so fast! Parker is also getting really good at holding his head up and looking around while he is on his tummy...

He is just our little happy boy!!!

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!

HE'S HERE!!!!

Parker Lynn Crockett arrived June 3, 2010. He weighed 8 lbs. 11 oz. He is 21 inches long. We are so glad that he is here safe and sound! We aren't biased at all, but we think that he is the cutest little guy ever!

He ended up not wanting to come out...so I had to have a C-section after 14 hours of labor. Needless to say, we are VERY relieved to have him here safe and sound, healthy and happy! (Well, he's happy most of the time...as you can see he doesn't like it when you take away his blankets...)


Here he is just yawning away...

Our cute little family.

Here he is with his eyes open. He has the biggest eyes!

We feel so blessed to have Parker in our lives! He has already been a wonderful addition to our family!
