Chad's grandma Hester and his sister Hannah came to see Reese last week.

August 5th was Parker's 5th birthday!

I wanted to post a picture of him the day he was born but those are on a disk somewhere. He's 6 months in this picture.

1st birthday

2nd birthday

3rd birthday

4th birthday (we didn't have a good one of him blowing out his cake but he and Auntie Lara looked so cute in this one from his party I thought it would be a good choice)

I asked him what he wanted to eat and he said cinnamon rolls for breakfast and pizza and cake for supper. A lego cake specifically.

This is Parker's bed head hair. It looks this crazy every morning. He loves helping in the kitchen lately. He and Emerson were helping make the icing for the cinnamon rolls.

Emerson is turning in to quite the character. I don't remember what about shaking cinnamon made her laugh like that.

My three little helpers putting the sugar and cinnamon on the dough.

The presents were all lego. He loves his lego.

I know it's hard to identify but it's a lego cake. I thought it was going to have to be bright red or blue or something like legos are but thankfully he liked the idea of a chocolate lego because we try to avoid food colouring at all costs.

Reese is 5 weeks old tomorrow! Everything is going really well at our house. Reese weighed 9lbs yesterday (she was 7lbs 10oz when she was born) so she's gaining weight really well which is great. She's still basically spending all her time nursing or sleeping. And lately pooping! In the past 5 days I think I've changed 40 poopy diapers! She's started smiling once in awhile. Today while I was nursing her she stopped and looked up at me with this huge smile. It was soooo sweet. She also loves to raise her head up and look around. Of course it starts bobbing around after a minute but then she tries again. At this moment she is going on 3.5 hours napping in the bassinet for the first time. She has previously never stayed in the bassinet for more than a few minutes so I'm really excited about this development. Kennedy has started calling her Reesie Pumpkin Pie. I'm not sure where that came from but it's cute. Emerson calls her Baby Reese and the way she says Reese is just so adorable. Parker calls Emerson baby. I asked Emerson the other day what her name is and she says "Big Baby".
