Motherhood

"A mother always has to think twice. Once for herself, and once for her child." -Sophia Loren

From the second Parker was born (well, more like since I found out I was pregnant) my brain has been on overload, constantly thinking for two. Anywhere we go, anything we do, TJ and I first think how it will impact or effect Parker. His schedule has become a priority in the family. TJ and I still get to do lots of things we want, but we are constantly planning and making decisions for three. We are always thinking about Parker. Is he eating enough, sleeping enough, too hot, too cold, having enough tummy time? etc, etc, etc.... I worry if he's crying, and I worry the same if he's "too" quiet. His daddy and I just love him so much and want to take care of him the best we can.

Motherhood has completely exceeded my expectations. I knew I'd love it, but I never imagined it would be THIS amazing.

Parker Wayne is the most perfect, adorable, fun, sweet, little person in the world. I am so lucky to get to see him change and grow every day. Each day he does something new and I feel like everything new he does is a milestone.

Here are some stats on the 3rd month of our baby boy's life!

*He can now control his head
*Love's to watch moving objects (Molly)
*Looks at bright, colored objects with interest (He loves The Price is Right)
*Plays with his hands; clasp and unclasp them
*He turns his head towards sound
*He smile's in response rather than spontaneously (I love this)
*He laughs out loud
*He responds by making sounds when I talk to him
*Gets excited at the sight of his bottle or at the sound of me shaking it up
*He loves kicking his feet like he is riding a bicycle (this is a flashback to when he was in utero)
*He enjoys when TJ or I read to him. He sits there like he's actually listening so attentively. It's pretty cute.

We are so thankful for a healthy, happy family!
