Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! We hope that you all had a great Christmas! Corey, Parker and I went up north to my mom and Al's for xmas. Had good weather going up and Parker was not as miserable in the truck on the way up as I had thought he would be. He did fuss for about an hour non stop but as soon as we fed him some more he slept for the rest of the ride. Lots of food, gifts and fun. It was a busy house with 6 adults, one baby, 5 dogs and two cats! Here are some pictures... Enjoy....

So Cute

I can't believe how much of a good mood Parker was tonight.... We had the worst night to date last night - he woke up at 12:45 and didn't go back down until 4:20 (thanks Daddy for the help!) And with only one 20 min nap today and to top it all off Parker got his shots, we can't believe the mood he is in... even though he is pretty grumpy now and is falling asleep as we speak. Just love the stare down with Tasha and his little laugh. He is starting to laugh a little more.... So cute...

Don't get mad at us....and it's a good thing he's cute

Hello everyone,

Well we couln't wait any longer and Parker was so ready for it! We decided to try adding pablum (rice cereal) to his bottle at night in hopes that he would sleep better. For about two weeks now Parker has been getting up every two to sometimes every hour during the night... So my dark circles and cranky attitute has led me to try pablum in the bottle at night... well that wasn't working so we decided to try a very watered down version to see if he would even take it... and the results were just as in the video.... so we are now doing one feeding a day of thicker pablum... Not that it's helping him sleep at night.... That is a whole different post.... so enjoy the video and don't get mad at me as they say not to do this until he's 6months. but some say 4... i'm the mom and i'm doing it.... so lets hope tonight is a better night because tomorrow he gets his shots and i know it will be a rough night....

How Parker wakes up

Well one thing is for sure... our little monkey doesn't take after his mom when he wakes up from naps... I used to (still do) wake up grumpy.... not Parker... see for yourself!

T'is the season to be jolly

Just a quick post to show how Parker loves his jolly jumper that Grandma & Pa Pie got him for xmas! He just hangs out and loves his new view of the whole house... enjoy!

Parker slept through the night!!! and Snow...

Hello.... Just very excited that Parker slept through the night last night for the first time. Went to bed a little later 9:30 than his usual bedtime as we had to go get snow tires on the truck yesterday and he woke up at 6!!!! So excited! But this is what we woke up to... good thing we got those snow tires.... Going to Pembroke tonight for Corey's course he is teaching at Algonquin College. Corey is excited and nervous!

Bye for now....

Toys

Hello... I hope that this post doesn't sound funny but I hope you all understand after reading it. With all the scares with plastic these days and with the Pie family trying to reduce our environmental footprint, and with Christmas fast approaching, I am hoping to try to get Parker toys that are not made of plastic, and do not require batteries. We will be happy with toys that do have thes aspects but would greatly appreciate a limited quantity of them. Just with my philosophy on chemicals and now Parker seems to put everything in his mouth we hope you understand. I have attached a few good links to some Canadian companies that sell wooden and safe toys.... Not that we are expecting any of these... Looking forward to seeing most of you on the weekend.

Love the Pie Family

Just some more pics... Parker has been in such a good mood - even with his first cold! Enjoy...

Bounce and fuss

Hello...

Quick post to upload two videos. The first is Parker in his bouncy excersaucer - first time he has enjoyed it and made it bounce and play music on his own. It's a little long however...

The second video I just found today - Corey must of took it.... Just so that you don't think Parker is always a happy baby...

Enjoy!

Our Superbaby!

Just wanted to post some new pictures from last night and a few days ago. We decided to go 'trick or treating' at a friends house (Cooper's) and thought that Parker's pumpkin costume would be too bulky for his car seat so we decided to dress him up as something else.... and it was no question that he would have to be super(baby)! A little blue onsie, some felt, hot glue and a cloth red diaper cover that I had and voila! Cooper was dressed up as Johnny Cash and what a cute pair these two were.

Also posted a few pictures of Parker in his Bumbo for the firt time. Hope you had a blast last night and had lots of cute little kiddies at your doors.

Love Parker, Stacy & Corey

Parker is almost 3 months!

Hello.... I can't believe my little guy is going to be 3 months this week! He is getting so much bigger. He is almost out of his small cloth diapers and has moved into the mediums. He holds his head up almost on his own, enjoys tummy time a little more, loves to sleep with mommy and daddy in the morning and is almost sleeping through the night (which I think I am more excited about)! He does have a personality. He is not patient (just like his parents), and I think he has a little temper already! At least he's not like me and wakes up in a very good mood! He's getting more content and we can leave him in his chair or swing for a bit and get some stuff done. A few of the pics are a little blurry - sorry about that, but I figured some pics are better than none.

Bye for now,

Love Stacy, Corey and of course the reason you all check this blog... Parker!

Little Pumpkin Pie!

We just LOVE these pictures.... I was going to wait until late this week to post but we couldn't wait. Grandma Bernie bought Parker this cute little pumpkin costume and it was such a nice day last week that we had to do a photo shoot. Parker did soooo well.. Even though it was a little cold for him.... Enjoy!

Parker likes to move it

Hello! What a hoot Parker is! One day last week at Walmart I found this singing hamster and Parker just loved it so we wanted to share this with you. Parker is starting to laugh and 'talk' alot more... Hope you enjoy these two videos!

Love the Pie family xox

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wanted to post a few pics and a video of our visit to Whitby. The Pie family first went to visit with GG and Great Aunt Lucy and Great Uncle Peter. It was a great visit! Then we went to Uncle Jody and Auntie JJ's for turkey dinner! Grandma and Grandpa were there so Parker got to visit with all of them. It was a mad house with four dogs (Tasha, Alvin, Ruben and Liela) and two cats. Parker had his first sink bath which was lots of fun! We are now just hanging out and relaxing after the drive home. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Parker's first.

What am I grateful for this year? Of course my little angel and the word FAMILY! It definitly has a new meaning this year!
