Babysitting Parker

Spring break is over and today we got back into the swing of things with our regular routine.  After dropping Handley at school Harper and I went to her 2 year check-up.  She didn't have to get any shots this time, but they do a finger prick to take her blood and she didn't even flinch.  She watched the nurse the whole time and seemed in awe of what was going on.  She was happy because she got a band-aide.

Her stats were:
weight: 27 lbs. (55-60th percentile)
height: 34 inches (70-75th percentile)

The highlight of our day was definitely babysitting Parker for the first time.  Jen had a photo-shoot that rescheduled at the last minute and we were happy to step in to help.  It was a glimpse into our future and it was fantastic.

Their smiles couldn't be any bigger! 

Handley and Harper didn't want to leave his side and kept kissing him, singing to him, and loving all over him.  Harper was thrilled to help out with Parker and kept bringing me a burp cloth, trying to hand him toys and got super upset when I mentioned her nap-time.  She begged me, "One more minute Mommy...play with Parker."  I finally got her to sleep with the promise that when she woke up she could help feed him his bottle.  Shortly after that Parker broke in Hudson's nursery during his nap-time.  He is such a sweet and easy baby and the girls were so happy to have him at our house.  We can't wait to watch him again and it makes me feel so much better about how things will go come July when Hudson arrives.
