A few of My Favorite Things

It's kind of funny, out of all of the cute blankets that I have--my hospital blanket is my favorite one! It keeps me warm but is light enough that I don't sweat to death when my mommy swaddles me up!
I LOVE to go for rides in the car! I stay awake most of the time and just look around! It's so fun!
I prefer to sleep with my arms behind my head and not wrapped up! My parents think they get me wrapped up tight enough but they underestimate how freakishly strong I am. I always find a way to get my arms out!

I've recently discovered my thumb and let me tell you how nice that is! If my parents can't get me a paci fast enough, I just pop my thumb in and calm myself down real fast! I'm very self sufficient you know.
Well, I better get going... it's time to eat again. I hope my mommy's milk tastes like Patty's cowboy cookies (my parents ate some last night and I've been dying to see what they taste like!) Catch you later!

  1. Bailey would get her arms out everytime we swaddled her so we went and bought a kiddopotamus swaddle blanket. It works great and they stay all wrapped up and sleep much better at night.

  2. Parker-

    This post pretty much sums up your life right now... as I have observed it. You are a doll, and I love you.

    Love and kisses,
    Nana

    PS Your mom is pretty clever ;P

  3. He is so sweet! Lillian does the same thing with her blankets. Once we swaddle her, she somehow manages to get her arms out. Is Parker a pretty calm baby?

  4. Erin! Congrats on baby Parker!!! I haven't left a comment yet cuz we just got our internet hooked up!!! I can't believe he's here finally! he's sooo adroable! I was excited/bummed when I found out you had him because this whole time I have been exactly two weeks behind you. When you had him early that still meant I had 4 WEEKS left! But I really am soooo happy for you guys! Youre gonna be an awesome mom!!!!!

  5. Parker I want to love on you right this instant!!! You are so cute! Also you and your cousin Kylee have a little something in common already...she loved to sleep with her arms behind her head like that too, even with a broken collar bone. Love you buddy!! See you on Wed :)

  6. That's cute... and cool that he found his thumb so fast! He must have been practicing before his big debut.

    Hannah never let her arms stay swaddled either. She's a free bird, what can I say?

  7. That is the cutest thing ever that he sleeps with his hands behind his head!!! EVER!!! Oh my gosh I can't wait to hold him and snuggle him! Can't wait!!! I'm starting to feel a lot better. I'm praying that tomorrow I will be all cleared up :) Feel free to say a prayer for me. This has really sucked.

    Love you Parker!!!

  12. That is too funny. I had tons of blankets and baby beanies but the ones from the hospital were the only ones we used. They worked perfect for Keegan. Not too cold or too hot. Hope you are getting enough sleep. Excited to see you guys on Thursday!

  16. Ready for a playdate yet, Parker? Just kidding, maybe when you boys can stay awake for more than 20 min. at a time.
    He is a cutie and sounds very sweet. I hope all is going well.

  18. That is just too cute!! I can relate to not wanting the arms all tied down - just too confining if you ask me. Glad you liked the cookies :)
