Parker's Newborn Pics

Geri came and took Parker's newborn pictures last week.  Let's just say I don't have a typical newborn.  You know, the one that sleeps through all of their pictures??  Parker was awake for the entire shoot (both days of it... sorry Geri!)  Even the ones where it looks like she's asleep, she's not.  Geri was just quick enough to get her picture when her eyes were closed.  haha  She cried in most of them, but we got some good ones.  I'm hoping she's not giving us a glimpse of what the future holds raising a girl!  If so, David and I are in trouble!  Of course, as soon as Geri left and I put Parker in her swing, she slept for like 3 hours each day.  Oh well, we're enjoying this little girl so much and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. 

Now, on to the pictures!

Hayden just loves holding her and giving her lots of kisses.  He's such a good big brother!
And of course I had to include one of the crying pictures.  She's just so cute, even when she's mad!!

She's here!

Parker Alise Reed made her debut on Thursday, June 3 at 1:26 pm. 7 lbs, 12 oz and absolutely perfect! She looks just like Hayden did when he was born (only exception is that she was about 2 lbs smaller... haha) and she has more hair. We are so in love with this little girl!
Our first family of 4 picture!Hayden is the best big brother. He was so excited to meet her and immediately asked if he could hold her. He has been so good with her at home, always asking me if can "watch her" for me. He also sings her songs and talks to her when she cries. It makes my heart melt to see him interact with her. I can't wait to see them grow up together.
Parker is such a sweet baby. She loves to eat and sleep. Only gets upset when you change her diaper. Not sure what it is, but she DOES NOT like to be naked! I'm sure this preference will change, but for now, we're becoming really fast at changing her clothes and diapers to keep her from getting too worked up. haha
