3 Months Old

Today our boy is 3 months old. My how Parker is growing! It's so much fun to see the new things he is doing. As I am writing this, Parker is sitting in his Exersaucer spinning the wheel that is shown in this picture:


Some of the new things that Parker is doing are:
-smiling
-cooing
-gaining better neck control
-sleeping 6-7 hours at night
-kicking his legs and moving his arms non-stop
-following objects and people

While we've had some low times in the past couple months, we realize this: it happens to everyone at some point and things really do get better each day. We are truly thankful for supportive friends and family and the Almighty One for never leaving us during our dark days!

As for Parker, he is less gassy on the ProSobee (soy) but still fussy. I think this will subside in the coming weeks. I told my mother-in-law this past weekend that I can handle the fussing because we've come so far from the hours of crying that we endured during October.

We are very excited about spending Christmas with our families and introducing Parker to some friends back home. The next few months will be full of new milestones for all of us. We hope you will stick around and enjoy them with us.

I will leave you with a list of things that you might not know about our little boy:
-He sleeps like his Daddy, hands folded on his chest
-He doesn't like when the car stops
-He has a freckle on his left leg
-He is vocal like his Momma
-He has unruly hair
-His eyes are blue
-His baby toe curls under his 4th toe, like his Daddy's
-His fingernails grow really fast and are very sharp (calling Uncle Henry....)
-And, he has parents that love him to pieces
