Braden Is Nine Months Old!

Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted. I went back to work and for some crazy reason I am busier than ever! The Parr household has been doing well. Matt is finishing up the high school baseball season, Braden is crawling, pulling himself up on anything available, and babbling away, and I am finishing up the school year and trying to keep our calendar of events organized.

We had Braden's 9 month wellness check last week. He now weighs 22 pounds and is 28 inches long. He is starting to eat yummy "grown up" foods like rice and beans (my favorite). He loves playing with Gage and enjoys yelling at his toys. He also really likes music and will sit quietly and watch each performance on American Idol (again, one of my favorites).

I can't believe how quickly these past nine months have gone by. I am looking forward to a fun-filled summer. Matt and I are escaping to Vegas for a few days for our annual "summer get away."

Here are a few pictures of Braden. He has already had his first haircut because his "bangs" were so long! I will hopefully continue updating theblog to share information and pics of our cute little B-Man!!

Three Months!

Braden is three months old today! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. He is definitely making more noise now and can hold his neck up very well. My mom and I took him to the pumpkin patch this past week, he didn't know what was going on, but we got some really cute pictures. I entered him in MLB's Halloween costume contest and we will find out on Saturday during Game 3 if he won. I dressed him up in a Giants shirt, and hat and also cut out a beard out of cloth and put it on him. He is the cutest "Fear the Beard" I have ever seen. If you want to vote for him visit mlb.com/halloween and search under Giants. He is on one of the last pages. He was also on the news this past week in his Fear the Beard outfit. We are having a lot of fun watching him learn new things. He has just started to figure out how to laugh. I can't wait until he does it all the time. We are having our 5th annual Pumpkin Carving Party on Saturday, so I will post some pictures sometime next week. I hope you enjoy the pictures from the pumpkin patch!

It will be neat to see how he grows each year.

Who's the cutest pumpkin in the patch?

11 Weeks!

Wow! I can't believe Braden is 11 weeks old. Time has gone by so fast, yet it feels like Braden has always been a part of our lives. He is such a cutie and Matt and I are enjoying every minute. Braden can smile, and it is so darn cute! He loves to go for walks and enjoys bath time. At his last checkup, which was two weeks ago, he weighed 13 pounds and was 23 inches long. We are looking forward to our annual pumpkin carving night and trip to the pumpkin patch! He is going to be a dinosaur for Halloween and it is so super duper cute! I will definitely post some pics of him in his Halloween costume! I promise to keep the blog updated more often, I kind of forgot about it! Thanks Jodie for reminding me! I hope everyone is having a great Fall!

Braden's first trip to the cabin!

He LOVES bath time!

It's a BOY!

Braden Allan Parr was born on July, 27 2010 at 7:38 p.m. He was 9 lbs. 8 oz and 21 inches long. We are very excited about being parents and are looking forward to our first night at home. Braden was welcomed into the world with a waiting room full of family and friends. Here are a few pics from Bradens birth day! Enjoy!

41 Weeks!

Here we are on week 41! I definitely didn't think we would be pregnant for this long. We go to the doctor tomorrow and we will discuss inducing. There will definitely be a baby sometime this week, we just don't know when. Matt and I are getting very anxious and just want to hold our little baby! We are also very curious to know if baby Parr is a boy or a girl. We are planning to enjoy this week and we are extremely excited knowing that we will meet our baby boy/girl in the next few days!

40 Weeks!

We are 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant and still no sign of Baby Parr. We have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so hopefully he will be able to tell us when this little munchkin plans on arriving. We are hoping it will be soon!

39 Weeks

This belly pic is brought to you courtesy of our last girls night before Baby Parr gets here. I have some of the best girlfriends in the world and we always have such a great time together.

We have 4 days left until Baby Parr's expected arrival date. We are anxiously waiting and trying to stay busy. I have been reading a ton of books, which I love to do and spending time with my girlfriends and parents. Everyone is getting really excited about Baby Parr's arrival and I just can't wait to find out if we are having a girl or a boy! The longer I wait the more curious I get. We have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, so we will see what he has to say. Hopefully there has been some kind of change. Until then I will be doing the "baby dance" and hoping for a baby soon!

Brooke, Baby Parr, and I
