More pictures on Day 5...

Can you say, proud Daddy? Parker is a major baby hog! He holds her every chance he gets... I think it's mostly because Jackson is so quirmy now (as compared to infancy) that he's not really a snuggler, so Parker is taking advantage of this snuggling stage with his little girl.

An attempt to get some pictures with "Big Brother" and "Little Sister" shirts. Well, Jackson isn't really old enough to hold his sister "safely" and although he loves to give her kisses, he gets a little wiggly when she is sitting next to him. I'm sure in time, we'll be able to get a good picture.
(Notice I even tried to bribe him...)

Baby Kate is 5 days old

Sorry it's taken me a while to get these up. I am extremely sore (no details necessary) and we're not in our own house... officially our 4th move in 2 months. Poor Parker has been running around like a crazy person trying to accomplish (on his own) a work load that would have made us both tired. It has been awful knowing that I can't physically help with so many things when our temporary home needs to be organized and I am one who often likes to do everything myself. Oh, well. We all have to learn patience somehow, right?


As for the kids, they are doing great. We are getting into an easy routine, as Baby Kate seems to prefer eating and sleeping to anything else. Jackson has been sleeping until 8:15am every morning and still takes 2 naps for 2 hours at a time (although I don't think it will be much longer before he merges them into one longer nap). Kate is on about a 4 hour feeding schedule and sleeps in between. Both kids have such great personalities. He is fun and energetic and so sweet (loves to give his sister kisses) and she is so easy-going. Hopefully, that will continue. Parker went back to work today and I did pretty well on my own, but have to admit, I am quite sore from doing so much on my own today. I am looking forward to recovering fully so that I can be more energetic for Jackson! In the meantime, I am enjoying my little family. I couldn't ask for anything more!




I know this is a weird picture, but I wanted to get her feet. It doesn't really show how long they really are. You'll just have to see her in person to understand. Her fingers match too... maybe she'll be tall.
