Dance Recital

Parker had her dance recital on Friday. She did a great job and looked like she was having a really fun time on stage. Here she is with CeCe and Pappy. On Saturday, we went to the RiverMarket and then to the library. At the RiverMarket, Parker got a balloon hat that she was sooooooo proud of. Oh yeah, and she got her face painted. Sorry so little text but I am having to type one-handed and this is about all I can do !!!

Hot Days

OK- sorry that I am so far behind on posting but I am doing my best. :) It's been so hot and so we really haven't been doing too much. Parker wanted to pull out the baby pool so we blew that up and she played in that for a while. She loves the pool. Cannon is doing great. Last night he slept for 2 four hour stretches and so that was great! He turned one month old last Friday and he has a doctor checkup on Wednesday so I'll be back to report an updated height and weight. My guess is that he is probably around nine pounds now.

Going Smoothly So Far

Cannon will be three weeks old tomorrow-- has it been that long already??!!-- and things are going great. It seemed like Parker was a bit more dramatic than he is at this age-- imagine that. hehe. He wakes up every three hours or so to feed at night and then straight back to sleep without a fuss, and during the day he is a bit more awake but still sleeping a lot. Last week we went in for a weight check and he is back up to birth weight. We will probably go back in this week too, just to make sure he is not starving!! OK- well he is waking up from nap so this is short but here is another pic of him.

Random iPhone pictures

So, while I was in the hospital with Cannon, Matt got me an iPhone. I absolutely love it and am already addicted. It's so nice to have a little buzz go off when you a new email and to have a decent camera right in the phone. I have taken a few pics with it in the past couple of days and here they are. Parker really loves her baby brother and has a mild obsession with everytime she holds him she likes to bend his fingers. Backwards that is! She doesn't bend too far, but regardless,she is still obsessed. Here is a random pic of Cannon. He already looks so much better than at the hospital. Newbies aren't too cute freshly born. He is starting to look a little less alien and a little more normal. He has a nice baby tan, aka Jaundice. We had to go into the hospital on Saturday and Sunday to get his bilirubin levels tested and again on Tuesday. The levels are finally starting to go down and so we don't have to go back to the doctor until his one month check up. Parker loves for me to take her picture on my phone and then let her look at it. This is pretty much how she looks every day after school. A little crazy hair and a little dirty but still too cute!!
