Two Week Checkup

Parker's two week checkup on December 9th was just perfect! He weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces. He had grown to 20.75 inches tall and his head was 14.5 inches. Dr. Ritch was very pleased and said he's growing very well.

Sweet Little Boy

I love the sweet, innocence of the baby phase...minus the crying! :)




Not sure what he's thinking in this picture, but he looks like an old man! haha

First Doctor's Visit

We followed up with Dr. Ritch on Tuesday, November 29th. Parker had dropped to 7 pounds 8 ounces but was doing great. No jaundice what so ever and was perfectly healthy!
I love getting our little man dressed up! :)

Welcome Parker!

We welcomed Parker Rance Cram on Friday, November 25, 2011!!
I wasn't feeling too great Thanksgiving day and knew that Parker's arrival was imminent...good excuse for not eating a lot at Thanksgiving! :) We made it through two Thanksgiving meals but still no Parker. Around 2:00am I started having consistent contractions that got closer and closer together...I knew Parker would arrive on Black Friday! Jarred and I got ready then woke Ryleigh up at the last minute, put her in the car, and dropped her off at Jarred's parents. We got to Highland around 6:00am. Got checked in by the nurse that helped deliver Ryleigh...was SO glad she was going to be my nurse delivering Parker! My doctor got there around 10:00am. After an amazing 12 minutes of delivery (such a blessing!), Parker arrived at 11:10am, weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces and 20 inches long.
We are SO thankful for our little miracle and blessing! Here are some pics from our day.

Ryleigh loves the nurses at Highland as much as we do! Her and the nurse that delivered her.

The things Ryleigh does that she's not supposed to when Mommy & Daddy aren't around...

Thanksgiving Feast

Ryleigh had her Thanksgiving Feast at school the Friday before their week break for Thanksgiving. It was SO cute! All of the 5-day 3-year olds as well as the 4-year olds started the feast off by singing their blessing songs and saying their prayers. Some classes were Pilgrims, some Indians. They then had their feast. They had lots of good things to eat...ham, cheese, grapes, apples, corn muffins, carrots, popcorn and juice to drink.
