Sickies, Halloween, and a Baldy

On Halloween morning Parker was having a hard time breathing and was coughing alot which would then make him choke. So by the afternoon when it hadn't gone away we decided to take him to ER. They told us that he had bronchitis. So we did the breathing treatment and everything they told. Well then on Wednesday we took him to the doctor here on base for a follow-up and come to find out he didn't have bronchitis. He's just really congested and becuase babies only know how to breath out of their nose, when their congested they cough trying to get air in. So anyways, he's fine. Just congested.

For Halloween Parker was a Giraffe, Jon wore his Taekwondo outfit from Korea, and I was an Aggie fan. Thats about as creative as I get. I hate Halloween, always have, always will.

Cupcake anyone?
In the last 5 days Parkers gone bald right before our eyes. And its not the normal "bald spot" on the back of his head. It on both sides of his head above his ears. Its also thining out on the top and the back. But its still long in the back on his neck. Looks like he has a mullet, short on top, long in the back.

Photoshoot

My friend Kaylene from church asked if she could take some picture of Parker. Of course, why would I turn that down. All these pictures were taken the day he turned 7 weeks. He's sure a handsome little devil.

Yep, he peed all over these books.

I think he look so big in this one.

" Okay Mom, this is really getting old. Get me out of this box."

Daddy's Dogtags and Boots

Cute smile

These next 3 are Parkers blessing tux. We actually did his blessing back in Utah when he was only 6 days old before Jon had to head back down here to Texas. It is adorable, but it drowned him at the time so we didn't get a very good picture or him in it at the time.

This Picture was taken by my dad when Parker when he was 10 days old. He wasn't very cooperative for this little photoshoot.

1 day old.

For our Anniversary/ Christmas present we bought a new couch and loveseat. We also got a coffetable and two end table. The end tables are the same as the coffee table just half the size.

Here's another video.

So lets see if this works.

I have been trying for days to get these dang videos to work. I didn't know it would take so long to upload. So enjoy.

Parker has a fun little smile that he is starting to show us more often and every once in a while we can get a little giggle.

From birth he has had really goopy eyes. Well the last few weeks his left eye has been especially runny and goopy and gets really crusted over. I thought maybe he had and infection so we took him into the doctor on wednesday. No infection, but he does have a clogged tear duct. The doctor said it will just go away or he'll continue to have it forever. If it doesn't go away by the time he's 9 months then we'll have to go see an opthamologist to take care of it.

He weighed 11.1 pounds and was 23.5 inches. He's finally starting to chunk up.

We sure do love our Little Buddy.

Update and New Parker Pics

Since Jon has dropped the pilot program he has been assigned a new career in the Air Force. He has been assigned to Missile and Munitions Maintenance. Were still not exactly sure what that all entails in a career but thats what he has. We also found out that we will be moving to Mountain Home AFB in Idaho. Mountain Home is near Boise and is about 4 hours from Logan and about 7 from Spokane. Were happy that we will be able to visit family more easily. Jon's report date is 30 Nov, so it looks like we wont be staying in Texas long. We will be in Texas just long enough to unpack the boxes in time for the movers to come and pack it all up again.

Trying out the new play mat.

I thought he would be a little too young for it. He likes it though, he lays and stares at everything and every once in a while kicks at the hanging toys.

Jon had to lay down and tell Parker about all toys.

"I am sooo strong"

"Dad, This this is fun"

I love both their grins.

"Can you kick your feet up like this?"

Shower

Parker took a shower with Jon and loved it. Never made a peep the whole time.

Football Time

Today after church Parker wasn't feeling too good and was kind of needy. He cuddled with Jon for a few hours and watched Football. They both were just so content relaxing together. Im sure this will be a Sunday tradition for a long time to come.

He thinks he's funny.

A few days before I came down to Texas I had a dream that Jon had taken on a new lifestyle while he was down here by himself and had shaved all his hair off and gotten tattoo's all over his body. So when I pulled in the driveway, Jon came running out and sure enough, he had buzzed all his hair off. Jon has never had his hair this short and I hated it at first, but its growing on me now.

And... yes indeed he has Tattoo's all over his body.

Crazy 8
Apparently he's in to crosses now also.

Grim Reaper

Don't worry, they'll be gone in a few days and hopefully his hair will back in a few weeks.

PS. Ill never trust Jonathan Forsyth to cut his hair again...

We made it.

Parker and I have arrived in Texas. The drive was long but Parker did great and pretty much slept the whole way. We stoped in Albuquerque and visited with our friends Jenni and Kendall. Jon was pretty excited to see us. Well he was excited to see me and ECSTATIC to see Parker. We are getting settled in our house and putting things together. Ill post some pictures when we get everything put away.

Parker got pretty sick of this seat by the time we got here.

This mirror was a lifesaver. It was nice to be able to actually see what he was doing back there.

A little Daddy-Son bonding time.

(Yep, Parker's mostly a bottle baby... I wasn't so blessed in the milk production department.)

So happy to just lay out and stretch.
