OMG he is asleep in his crib!

So we got Parker to sleep in his crib for the first time this week...it was the only time he has slept in his crib! Todd and I were upstairs when he fell asleep so we thought we would give it a shot. We quietly laid him down and his eyes popped open so we left the room. All we could hear was sucking..he was sucking on his fist! After about 5 minutes he was out, sleeping about 1 1/2 hours. It was a success so we had to get a picture of it!

Sucking...He is very much a sucker we have found out. The other day when we all woke up, he had a huge red mark on his arm. It bothered me all day because I thought I had accidentally done something in the night to hurt him. At lunch that day with people from work, Staci mentioned that it looked like a hickey. It all made sense then. He had sucked his arm so had that he gave himself a hickey for the 2nd time. I offer him the pacifier when he does this but he prefers his arm or fist...crazy kid! We have found that he only likes his pacifier when he has a tummy ache which I am very grateful for. Here is a look at his poor arm...

This past week Parker's medicine was changed to Prevacid because the Zantac just wasn't doing the trick for his Acid Reflux. It was like a light switch after 24 hrs of him being on the medicine. He was even more happy then before...smiling BIG smiles and Cooing even more!! We have found that a bath is one of Parker's favorite things. I can take him in the bathroom when he is screaming and turn the water on and he will stop crying. He is so relaxed in the water. This will make our trip to the beach much more enjoyable knowing he likes the water!!!

Parker will be 8 weeks tomorrow. He goes for his 2 month check up Wednesday! I can't wait to find out how much weight he has gained and how long he has gotten.

Here are more pictures of Parker hanging out...
