Busy, Busy and Busy


I can't believe our little man will be 4 weeks old already this Sunday.  Time at home has sure flown by, but it has been great!  We've been busy doing a lot of things, but it doesn't feel that way.  We celebrated Heath's birthday by going out to eat and then having some cake at home.  Heath joined Goals in Motion (9 week fitness challenge) 4 weeks ago and has been doing well with changing his eating habits, which has gotten me to join in with the "clean eating"...which comes at a perfect time to help with losing the baby weight!  He has also been working out 5 days a week and is seeing some good results and feeling better!  I'm so proud of him!!!
Kade has been busy with basketball, although his last 2 games have been cancelled due to the bad weather and bitter cold, which really bummed him out.  He took a break from basketball for a couple years but is back at it and really enjoying it and playing well too (according to dad since I haven't been able to make it to a game).
Alexandria continues to amaze us everyday with her vocabulary and clear speech.  She is gaining more independence everyday and insists on doing things herself.  If you do something for her, she will repeat what you just did for her by herself.  She is warming up to Parker more and more, however tonight I was holding him while putting her to bed and she said to me plain as day, "I don't like Parker."  Then proceeded to say, "I like Devon...mommy, daddy, and Kade."  Of course Devon came first on her list!  I know one day they will be the best of buds!  I recently took Alexandria to get her first haircut...if you'd even call it that.  I only let them cut the ends off just to help her hair be more healthy.  She was such a big girl and even sat in the chair by herself.  Now if she would only let me do her hair!!
Parker continues to grow like a weed.  He was 10 lbs. 1 oz. at his 2 week appt. He is a very good baby, which makes being home even more of a joy!  He got to meet Great Grandma and Wendy last weekend.  I took the kids up there and they were thrilled to see them.  Alexandria and Wendy had fun playing together while Great Grandma cuddled with Parker.
Enjoy all the pics!!
