Our sweet baby Parker is 3 weeks old this week and I’m heading down this week with my parents and we finally get to lay eyes on this bundle of joy that has joined our family. We couldn’t be more excited to see her in person, I can assure you!
So, here are a few updates from the last 3 weeks for you to enjoy!
Lauren and Philip bring home baby Parker. Stickers, the dog is not looking too happy here. I asked how the dog as handling having a baby around and Lauren said, so far she is totally ignoring her. Hopefully, they will bond as the baby gets older. Stickers is a sweet doggie.
Lauren and baby getting some much needed sleep, I’m sure.
Proud daddy, Philip and baby Parker still at the hospital. Several of you have mentioned how she looks like her daddy and yes, she does. It was a hot topic of conversation while Lauren was pregnant that this baby would more than likely take after the daddy’s side of the family, because those genes are SO strong in the other 2 grandchildren in the family (Philip’s sister’s kids. So, no one was surprised when she came out looking like she did. Luckily, both mom and dad are good looking people, so it’s a win-win either way!
Isn’t she sweet? Those lips, oh how I love those cupid lips.
Caught in a smile, so sweet.
A really good shot of those pouty, perfect lips.
My sister, Renee is still down there and she is one proud grandmother. I also hear there has been major discussions going on as to the right timing on giving Parker a pacifier. Lauren says not yet and the rest of the females in the family down there are saying….give her a pacifier already! We’ll see how that goes.
Parker posed in a basket.
I can’t wait to get down there with my camera too and try to capture some great shots. You can be sure I’ll be sharing all the family happenings in New Orleans when we get back. It will be a major fast trip, but I’m so happy my parents are going down to see her too. I want to take a shot of all 4 generations and get that documented. What a blessing!
The baby is absolutely beautiful and I LOVE those lips too. I was upset that my oldest kept his pacifier for so long but my mother said, “he won’t walk down the aisle with it”. Enjoy.
Oh she is so adorable!!
So tiny and precious! Isn’t it weird to be a great aunt? I remember thinking that I was entirely too young to be a great aunt. A great aunt is that very old lady in the family! Haha! I decided I would be the grand aunt. After all…there are grand parents. Why shouldn’t there be grand aunts and uncles? So now I am the proud grand aunt of two!
Cheers!

What a beautiful baby. I can’t wait to see you and your parents holding Parker. Congrats to your family. A baby is always such a blessing. I exclusively breastfed my babies and did not use a pacifier either.
What a beautiful thing to see first thing this morning! Thanks for sharing the wonder with us, Rhoda.
Congratulations on the newest member of the family.
