Since Parker was a little congested this week, we stayed away from other babies. While Dr. Eastman said he is not contagious, I wasn't going to take any chances. He is doing better but still has a little bit of a cough. Dr. Eastman said that could last for a couple more weeks.We started carrots this week and Parker gobbled them right up. I thought we might start peas but I read over our instructions from the doctor again and we are suppose to try "yellow" veggies first. Next will be sweet potatoes.
Parker is NO longer sleeping all night. That only lasted 2 weeks and those 2 weeks were fabulous! It might be that he is teething or maybe he is going through a growth spurt. We are just not sure.
Parker is also trying to become more mobile. He has started putting his butt in the air and pushing off from the floor. It's so exciting seeing him trying new things and exploring. Fun times!
Our family is going through some transition with Bryan's new (interim) position at work. He is a lot more busy at work and works more hours (both at work and home). Since Parker goes to bed around 7pm, there is not a lot of extra time for them to play. Bryan does feed him in the mornings before going to work and they still have their bath time. We take turns at night rocking him to sleep (yes, we do this and yes, we will continue to do this!). Parker does know his Daddy though because he lights up when Bryan gets home from work!
The picture above is Parker in his Johnny Jump-Up and chewing on his new book that Mimi and Grandpa sent him for Valentine's day. He loves that book and it keeps him occupied for a good 15 minutes!
