Parker is one month old today and while we are still very much adjusting to life as a family of five, I have tried to savor and enjoy every single minute of this sleep deprived time. He really is a good baby (knock on wood.. I just jinxed myself, didn’t I?) and this time around has just been… dare I say it.. easier!?! No, juggling three kids is NOT easy.. quite the contrary and it’s effing HARD WORK.. but the baby stage.. the newborn.. is kind of the easiest of the three. He’s a little dreamboat and just goes with the flow… because he doesn’t really have a choice.
Jackson is truly obsessed with his new baby brother and Cam.. well.. let’s just say he’s acting out and craving some one on one attention. He has had the hardest time adjusting to our new normal but slowly, he’s coming around. Poor guy’s world has been rocked.
Luckily, we’ve had family in town helping out and my mom tribe in the neighborhood is STRONG. My mom and dad were here for a bit and were so active with the kids so I could have some quiet time with P. And my mother-in-law made us big batches of soup and lasagna so we’ll be fed for the next year.. so THANK YOU JOAN if you’re reading this!! And my girlfriends have been life savers.. offering to pick up Jackson from school, bringing us food and wine and just being so supportive. Feeling super fortunate and grateful for all of the helping hands so I can enjoy this sweet baby.
OK let’s get to it. Below, I am sharing some of my top “can’t live withouts” that I’ve used every day since Parker’s been born. And then giving you a boatload of pictures from our family photos when P was only 7 days old… insert sobbing emoji (here). ENJOY!
Hope you all have a great week.. thanks for stopping by! xx, H
Love these photos- so sweet!
