Growing up...

Parker is growing up so fast. He has become a real "Chunky Monkey" in the past couple weeks. He is getting a little more active with his toys and has a real interest in the TV. It is exciting and sad all at the same time. I love when he does something new but I miss it when he was so small.
Well Parker has had some firsts this past week. Last Friday night he spent the night away from home. His Mimi and Papi watched him while we went to dinner and then we all stayed the night over there. He did great despite him fighting sleep. Then Wednesday he went to his first Rangers Game. He did awesome! He loves to look around at everything going on and he loves being outside so it was right up his alley. Todd and I were even able to go to a part of the stands where I was able to feed him discreetly.

This week Parker also received formula....it wasn't his first time because I have had to do it one other time. He had it for 4 feedings while I was at work. As mentioned in my past blogs, we have been trying to figure out his tummy issue so the Dr had me do without dairy and nut products for 4 days...so unless the milk was freshly pumped he couldn't have it. The formula did not set well with his tummy and he will no longer take it if I have no other choice. That's OK though since I would rather him not have it unless we absolutely have to give it to him.

Parker went swimming for the first time this weekend. The only part of him that went into the water was his toes but he was all dressed up in his swimsuit and hat!! It was too cute!

I think I finally have Parker on some sort of schedule...if you want to call it that! He usually goes to bed around 10 or 11pm and feeds 2-3 times before waking up around 9:30am. He will then take 2 long naps during the day. He will let you know when he is ready to go to sleep too! We plan on transitioning him to his crib as soon as we receive the baby monitor battery in the mail. It has been back ordered so it is delaying the transition. We will have his room all decorated in the next couple weeks also. I will post new pictures once the curtains are made and hung and all the decorations are on the wall.

He still makes his legs and arms go 90 to nothing....he is a busy busy boy! I had to put that in there so I remember it one day looking back!

Parker has been a busy babbler lately...here is one of his latest and greatest videos!!
