One Month Old

Parker is one month old today! Can you believe it?  He's changed so much. It's neat watching Parker see the world for the first time. I'm constantly wondering what he is thinking. 

~ He stares straight at you now when you talk to him.

~ He's starting to grab onto his burp cloths and blankets, and he loves his play mat.

~ He's just learning that he can chew/suck on his hand.

~ Speaking of sucking, Parker is addicted to his pacifier! Daddy says it's like the pin on a grenade. Pull it out, and you're liable to get an explosion.

~ He's mastered the art of peeing and pooping as soon as you take off his diaper.  He made a huge mess this morning, which delayed his feeding and resulting in a morning bath.


~ Parker is a good eater. He's still breastfeeding and has only had one breast milk bottle.  We haven't quite worked out a schedule yet. I'm such a planner and can't wait for us to establish a better routine.  As it is now, Parker goes 3 hours between feedings most of day (some times 2 hours, other times 3.5 hours). His middle of the night feedings are always a surprise. Some nights he'll go 3 or 4 hours between feedings. Occasionally, he'll make it 6 hours! We love those nights!

~ Parker loves to lay on your chest/shoulder to sleep.

~ Daddy has the special touch. If Parker is a little fussy, Daddy can cuddle up with him and they'll both be asleep before you know it.

~ He's growing like crazy! Parker is starting to outgrow some of his newborn clothes. I was excited that this 0-3 month sleeper finally fits him.
