The Babe

So, I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus. The internet was down for a few days, but that leaves me about four and half weeks without an alibi for the five weeks it's been since my last post. I post on Instagram every so often, and I text a few family and friends pictures of Mikey almost every day. Maybe that's why it feels like I haven't been completely out of the social media world. 

Anyway, here are some pictures of the boy, which are already weeks old. Yesterday he discovered his right foot, and today he had his first bites of rice cereal. Time flies... 

Here he is in his dad's office, surrounded by a jungle of books.

A few weeks ago he started doing this fake cough thing. I think he likes the way it sounds and the attention he gets when he does it a lot. I got a shot of him doing it on a walk the other day.

Lub this chub. Lub, lub, lub. I want to eat his thighs sometimes.

Here we are on a rope swing. He loves being outside with the breeze on his face.

And here's the "reality check" picture. As in, he's not happy all the time. We took a road trip to Atlanta for my brother-in-law's wedding. As you may remember, Mikey h-a-t-e-s the car. Hates. After only a few minutes of crying he gets a horrible blotchy rash on his head and his eyes have bright red rings around them. 

I was very, very nervous about the drive, but overall he did amazingly well, especially on the way back. I sat in the back with him and played the court jester for many, many hours. He even managed to sleep a few winks. Sweet relief! Thank you to all the praying saints out there.

Nathan got this shot of Mikey at about 4:30 in the morning. He's so sweet.

Here are all of the Parker siblings. What a beautiful family.

Here's Uncle Andrew in his new Facebook profile pic, hoping that the tuxedo and Mikey's belly will attract a lady friend.

The wedding is about to begin!

Congratulations Sarah and Philip! Y'all are the greatest.

And upon our return, Mikey started blowing raspberries.

And all of a sudden he was in a big boy stroller.

And enjoying some mint moose tracks from Publix. I die.

Here's to hoping for more frequent posting... Comments always motivate me (wink wink).
