6 weeks!


I cant believe he is only six weeks old, i feel like he has been around longer, but then i cant believe he is already so big. Parker had a Dr. apt. today. The girls were terrors. But we survived (barely). Parker weighs 11lbs, 8oz. and is 23 inches long with a head circ. of 15 inches. He is in the 75% in both height and weight. So he is getting pretty big. His eating schedule is a dream, so easy and so fast. He eats like every 4-5 hours for like 8 minutes. He is a strong sucker. This picture is a little old but i am still camera-less, so it will have to do. He looks pretty much the same. He is starting to get a little personality, he is calm like Emma but when he gets mad (which is not often) he has a temper like Cate. So i guess he is a good mix. Today he got 5 shots!!! i know its a lot but since we are moving i didn't want o fall behind, they usually split them up but i asked for all of them ( don't worry its safe). I also ordered copies of the kids records. Since i have a terrible memory instead of guessing how much they weighed when they were little i can just look it up in the med. records. That way when they get older they can see what they were like instead of me just making stuff up!! Because i know that's what i would do! :)
We are looking for an apartment to rent in Kentucky, just for a few months until we can sell our house and find the area we really want. The homes in Kentucky are a lot less then here, but we don't want to spend a lot of money, something nice but cheap. Our plan is to save as much money as possible in the next 3 years so we can buy our dream house in Utah. Plus i want a new car, Emma hates her seat and we really do need something bigger. We thought that the Volvo would work and there is enough space but, we didn't calculate in the fighting and hitting that occur when the kids are too close to each other. The girls cant keep their grubby little hands off each other and off the boy.
