Happy

This girl is precious. 

I know I'm her Mom & it's my job to think so but the little thing just shines. There's no doubt. 

We were sweating at my sister's yard sale today...& even in the sticky icky humidity she offered a sweet smile to anyone who spoke to her. 

She has eczema. It's red. It's raw most of the time and it just looks downright painful. At five months old she scratches in her sleep and we've gotta keep those little fingernail daggers cut or else she causes her neck & arms to bleed, but still she is the happiest little ball of sunshine about 95% of the time. 

Parker is happy. She's sweet and extremely smiley. But a sleeper she's not. She's queen of the cat naps. You'd think being nearly as sleep deprived as her Mama would cause her to join her Mama on the brink of cranky butt insanity...instead I tell you if you pull this sleeping baby out of her car seat and walk into an Old Navy, as soon as she hears the music and sees the people she starts smiling and dancing! How's that for loving life?

On the eve of Father's Day I just want to say how much Mike and I love our little bundle of bumps and smiles. Even after five months of no sleep we still hold to the belief that we have the absolute most beautiful little bundle of baby girl we could've ever hoped for. 

We love you Parker Grace Curtsinger. Thank you for teaching me what it means to be happy. 

5 Months

Parker baby has reached the five month mark. We are now enchanted with: regular earth shattering squeals, belly laughs, & vacuuming the living room cause Miss Thang rolls around it to get what she wants! Sister LOVES food: sweet potatoes, green beans, peaches, bananas, apple sauce, pears...pretty much if you'll give it to her, she'll eat it (& even perhaps on accident murmur, "Mmm"). 

The sweet baby doesn't sleep through the night yet, but Lord it's not for trying. Girl just loves her Mama & can't go more than 2 hrs without a snuggle. ❤

I am completely exhausted & more in love with her than I thought possible. Doesn't mean "I need a break" doesn't cross my lips & sweet thoughts of a weekend getaway won't cross my mind but I honestly kinda like being attached to the little beauty. Someone asked the other day what I did before her. I'm sure my response was supposed to be, "I don't know!"...when it actuality it was, "Walk out of the house without ten bags, not pre plan everything & sleep more than two hours at a time..." That being said, when I do let one of her Grandmas have her for a few hours I miss her like crazy & can't wait to get back to her. 

The little tornado has taken our hearts (& lives) ripped them to shreds & put them back in such an order I have a feeling they were always supposed to be in.
