Our first few days home

Our first few days home have been very exciting. Parker is growing and changing every day. He is such a sweet and beautiful little boy, I can't imagine what our life was like even last week before he arrived. He has really made us happy (and very tired)!

Parker had his first pediatric appointment on Tuesday, and the Dr. confirmed what we all knew, Parker is perfect. He had gained back all but 1oz of his birth weight by 4 days old, the Dr. was pretty impressed.

Parker is a very healthy little guy, he eats well and has met the milestones that he should for his first few days. He has been trying to hold his head up since he was born, and he is able to hold it up longer and longer each day. He also has very active legs that I try to let him test a bit by pushing against my hands or letting him stand a little.

He is very interested in the things around him. Last night he found the ceiling fan in the bedroom and was amazed by it. He also likes to look out the front window when we are in the recliner. Matt has wanted to buy this play gym for him (before we even knew he was a him), I had told him that Parker wouldn't need it for a while but I may have been wrong. This little man may really like having a play gym right now.

Lastly, I don't want to forget our girls. Avery and Isabella are doing well with the baby. Isabella has really calmed down since Parker arrived. She spends most of her time on the bed, not phased at all by Parker or his cries. Avery is a little more nervous. She is a little jealous of Parker, but we make sure she gets her loves. She also gets nervous when Parker cries. We make sure that both girls get as many sniffs of Parker as they want, and an occasional kiss or two. Overall, they are fine with having Parker around.
