Trip to Austin!

Parker, Pierce and I took a trip down to Austin to visit Aunt Heather, Chad, Brooks and Laney!  The boys had a blast playing with their friends!

 Trying to get my boys to pose together sometimes is very difficult!

Laney (8 months) and Pierce (2 months)...aren't they sweet?!!

 Parker and his best bud!

 Sweet Laney loved baby Pierce...she even wanted to eat his toes ha!

Love Love these 2 boys!!!

We had such a great time hanging out!  Aunt Heather and I even got to sneak away to see Bridesmaids, thanks to her hubby, Chad!  Thanks for a great getaway weekend!

Barrett Ryan Qualley!

While in Austin, Pierce and I went over to the Qualley's house to meet sweet baby Barrett!  He was born on June 6th.  He is a sweet adorable little boy!  Pierce and him are going to be great buds!

 5 weeks apart

Welcome to the Fam Baby Barrett!  We love you!

I Love VBS!

While on maternity leave I was able to teach VBS to a wonderful group of kids.  Since I taught Parker was able to go to his own VBS class.  He loved it!!  He came home everyday with new paintings and colored pages.  The best part for him was playing on the playground twice a day!  This gave him a little glimpse of what pre-school will be like starting July 19th.  I think he will do wonderful...at least I hope!  I taught 4-5 year olds with Lindsey, Candace, Jill and BreAnne.  We had a great week!

Me and my twin! :)

One day was actually "twin" day so Lindsey and I dressed Parker and Brady alike.  They were so cute! 

Pierce is 2 months!!

Well my baby is now 2 months old!  He gets more precious everyday!  I just can't get enough of that smile!! 

 Pierce now weighs 13.13lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long!  He was in the 97 percentile for his height!  He has been a big boy since birth!  I hope he continues to stay at the top for height!  He still eats about every 2-3 hours but is sleeping through the night!!  I can't beat 9-5 sleep time!!  Matt and I get a nice quiet evening when the two boys are asleep at the same time.  Pierce is still strictly breastfed...so I hope and pray I can keep up with him when I go back to work *tear*.  If not, I know that one formula bottle will not hurt him.  Let it be known that I am a lot more relaxed with this child than I was with my first!  Like my friend Sarah said..."Pierce might not get all the attention the first child did, or all the new toys and clothes but he will get "experienced" parents!"  I try to remember this daily!  Before I had Pierce I had the fear of not loving my second child as much as I did Parker, but everyone told me it would come naturally...and it did!!  I am so in love with this little boy, my heart melts when he looks into my eyes and smiles!!  I love you Pierce Matthew with all my heart!

Each month I am going to "try" and put Pierce in Parker's monthly outfit.  That way I can really compare the two in looks and in size!  So far...they look nothing alike, to me!

 Parker loves his little brother!

 Daddy and his boys!  This is the day after Father's Day...we forgot to take pictures (how bad is that?!)  Love these boys!!

My Sweet Faces

Davis comes to play!

Today Olivia and Davis came over for a play date!  We were so excited to get the boys together for the first time since Pierce arrived in this world!

First Parker was trying to share the baby toys...he had a difficult time grasping the concept even though he hasn't played with those toys in over a year!  He will have to learn very quick as his brother approaches the "grabbing" stage!

 Aunt Olivia met Pierce again...he was fussy today for some reason so this was not his best shot.  For about 30 minutes we had all 3 boys asleep so we were able to visit!  It was nice and quiet!!

Davis and Pierce --first of many pictures together I am sure!  They are exactly 5 months and 2 days apart!  These pictures get funnier the longer they were on the floor together!

 "Don't mind me Pierce I just need a foot rest!" :)

 "Well sorry there Pierce, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings"

 "Here we can be buddies just like our Mommies"

 "But first I must give you a little taste" :)

 "...and see how your hair feels"

 "then we can be best buds forever"

"and don't you worry I will help you up!"

They were so cute together...I can't wait to see how they change these next 6 months!
