Parley: 2 months

Parley is constantly holding his hands in a fist, usually with his thumb inside his other fingers.

Parley lost all the hair on top of his head :( and a little throughout the back. BUT the cutest fuzziest hair is growing back on top of his head! He still looks bald in pictures but if you're holding him you can see how much hair he has on top of his head and it's so cute. It just needs to get thicker and longer!

I've noticed throughout the past week that Parley cannot sleep unless he has a blanket on him. Either by being swaddled or just having a blanket laid on him. He's just like his dad that way ;)

Parley loves sucking on his fists. And he is so noisy when he does it haha he will be one of those kids that can fit their whole fist in their mouth.

Parley will sleep between 4-6 hours at night and then eat. But after he eats he wakes up like 2 hours later.. So I don't know if he is too tired and falling asleep before he's done eating or what but some nights it's annoying haha so if anyone has any advice let me know!

Patty was holding Parley the other night and he was so content and just chilling. Curtis came up behind him and scared him. A late reaction but Parley started crying hysterically! He was finally calmed down and Curtis was holding him. Missy had went out side and Brooklyn was asking where she was. Curtis said I ATE HER! and Parley lost it again! He was crying and had a broken heart! Curtis felt so bad. It was kinda funny though..

Parley has been able to sit in a bumbo for a few weeks now and I just can't believe it!

At Parley's 2 month appointment he weighed 14 lbs 11.5 oz (95%), was 24 inches long (93%), and his head was 41 cm (96%). He is one big baby! He is very proportionate though which is good!















Brooklyn: 2 years 3 months

Brooklyn loves wearing her Princess Sofia dress. She asks to wear it about every other day. Brooklyn also asks for a bow every morning for her hair because she hates her hair in her face.

I was saying the alphabet one day and having Brooklyn copy each letter after I said it. When I got to the letter "u" Brooklyn would not say it and kept saying "me".

We were eating dinner one night and Brooklyn started saying "ewww no" to the food. I have no idea where she learned that. She also has been saying "let go of me". Let's just say Brooklyn has been ornery this past month. Or acting out because of little brother..

Brooklyn has a little princess tent but since we've been in our apartment we haven't had it up. I decided a couple weeks ago to put it up for her. As I was putting it up she kept looking at me funny until she realized what it was. She then goes, "Ohhhh I love my tent! Thank you Mommy!" She was so excited and I wish I could have captured it on video!

Brooklyn got her first hair trim this month.

"Brooklyn are you a big girl?"
(Pats hand on chest)
"No, I Brooklyn."
Why yes, yes you are :)

"Brooklyn what are we going to do with our lives?"
"EAT CEREAL!!"

B: "Parley like my stool?"
M: "Yeah, Parley likes your stool."
B: "Ohhhhhh yeah, I know Mommy!"

I took Brooklyn down to the apartment complex playground and there were some grade school boys out there playing. Brooklyn was trying to play with them and then ran over to me saying Mommy save me!!

Brooklyn has been singing Merry Christmas and Happy to you (Happy Birthday) since January. It's going to be a long year, she's got a while until her birthday and Christmas!

Brooklyn built a fire to keep her warm. 





Brooklyn was absolutely refusing to take a picture with Parley! 


5 minutes before this picture she told me she wasn't tired..

I have been having so much fun doing Brooklyn's hair lately! It is getting long and a little thicker, I have been waiting for these days!





Brooklyn loves watching the basketball games. 




This girl is always covered in bruises!
