Parley: 1 year 4 months

Parley had a really bad cold and a double ear infection this past month. It was the first time he needed antibiotics.

Parley loves putting things on his head. I was taking a video of Brooklyn and he walked into the video with a little garbage can on his head! He had one of Curtis' shirts over his head and he walked right into our filing cabinet. He gave himself a pretty good black eye for a week.

Little man LOVES going places and playing outside. If he is wanting to go somewhere he will go get his shoes and bring them to me. He will then get Brooklyn's shoes, my shoes and Curtis' shoes and bring them all to us. It is so funny. He hates staying home and always wants to be going somewhere.

It's not Parley unless he has a toy car or truck in his hands. Always. We can't go anywhere without taking one with us and he's constantly walking around the house driving the cars and trucks.

Loves playing on our porch with the little tikes car. He loves driving it and gets so mad if Brooklyn climbs in it.

We got a new rocking chair- ours broke soon after Parley was born so he never really got to be rocked.. But he absolutely loves it. If I am sitting in the rocking chair he climbs right up in my lap and snuggles me so we can rock. He's making up for all the missed rocking he had as a baby.

Parley tells us he wants to go somewhere by bringing us his shoes and tells us he's hungry by trying to climb in his high chair.

Parley loves chocolate milk. That is the first thing he wants in the morning when he wakes up. He will stand at the pantry door and "cry" until we get the chocolate milk mix out.

Baby Girl: 35 Weeks

Baby Girl has been moving like crazy lately.  She is still breech and we're hoping she flips soon so I don't have to have the doctor do it..

Brooklyn insists that her name is Violet. Which is super cute but probably won't be her real name :)

Had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago. My placenta was measuring 2.5 cm away from the cervix and he wants it to be at least 2 cm so that's good and hoping we can go forward with a regular birth and not a c-section! (As long as baby girl flips over! Ahhhhhh.)

We are about 95% sure we know baby sister's name, but we will wait until we meet her to make sure :)

Dr said I can schedule my induction any time for May 5th or later! It's so crazy how soon she will be here. I would prefer to go into labor on my own. I was induced with Brooklyn and went into labor on my own with Parley- contractions were 100x worse during Brooklyn's labor. There are definite pros and cons to both and we will do whichever we feel best :)

34 Weeks

Brooklyn: 3 years 4 months

Cousin Bailey came to visit and Brooklyn had so much fun playing with her. It took a few minutes for Bailey to warm up but it was so fun watching them play together.

Brooklyn is going to be quite the photographer! She asks all the time for my phone so she can take pictures. She takes about 100 pictures each time she has my phone, some of them are actually pretty dang good! 

We went to a BYU women's basketball game and Brooklyn got to go out onto the court during a time out and do the chicken dance with a bunch of other kids. She loved it and had so much fun!

Brooklyn has named the baby Lulu.

"Brooklyn, why are you awake so early?"
"'Ecause the sun is up!"

Brooklyn asked her daddy for a blessing when she was sick. Brooklyn had the worst cold she's ever had. She was sick for over 2 weeks and just miserable.

When you ask Brooklyn how old she is she will tell you 48.
