Parker is two months old!

Time just flies by! I can't believe that Parker is already two months old. Yesterday we went to the doctor to get his first vaccines. I was so nervous for him, I just kept thinking that he didn't even know what was about to hit him. Parker did really good. He had to get 3 pokes and cried for about two minutes and then he fell asleep. He weighed in at 11 pounds 2 ounces and he was 23 and 3/4 inches long. Although his weight is average for babies his age, he is on the longer side. The doctor said that he was in the 75th percentile.

Parker is so much fun. He is full of smiles and likes to talk to you by "cooing". His personality is really starting to show. He is extremely active and loves to stand up and look around at everything (with someone holding his hands of course). He is so attentive and can easily hold up his own head. I can already tell that we are going to have a tough time keeping up with him once he starts moving on his own.

There have been many firsts for Parker this month. Not only has he had his first smile and first sound (besides crying), he also went swimming with his friends for the first time and went to his first Astro's game.

Hudson, Chase, and Parker all went swimming at Kristi's birthday party. Both Chase and Parker only lasted about 10 or 15 minutes in the pool before they got fussy. They liked the water, but they didn't like the sun in their eyes.

Parker loved going to the Astro's game. He was such a good boy. He loved all of the lights and loud noises. He only cried once when an Astro's player hit a homerun and everyone started cheering. It was a little too loud and it scared him!
