One Month

Parker is now a month old! Wow-how time flies! Darrin and I cannot believe how quickly he's growing and that it's already been a whole month. He was born at 8 lbs. 10 oz. And at his two week appointment he weighed in at 9 lbs. 12 oz.! He had also grown an inch since birth at his two week appointment. I'm excited to see how much he's grown at his next appointment which is his 2 month.

He's so fun to hold, cuddle with and watch gaze up at his toys, ceiling or outside. He is now very much more aware and he's growing stronger and stronger by the day. He's so strong in his legs and neck now!

We're still waiting for the day that he gives us a "real" smile but we SO SO SO enjoy his random smiles and laughs. It's my very favorite thing in the world at the moment when he laughs in his sleep!! SO adorable!

He LOVES to be held (thank goodness for the baby bjorn!), he likes car rides (when the car is moving), he likes to be sung to, he likes to stick out his tongue, grunt, and kick his legs. We've also found that his back is ticklish! Cute to watch him squirm while we tickle it (is that mean? sorry little man! We just love to see you react to things-it's pretty much adorable :))

This last weekend for the 24th, we went to Idaho with my family. We had a lot of fun and were able to go boating, see all my uncles animals (he pretty much has a farm) and chill with the fam. Parker did really well on this first long road trip. Way to go Parker!

Darrin and I have also been trying to finish our basement apartment that we tore up months ago. It's been a little tricky with a baby but we've managed trading off watching him in between naps to work on it. We're SO close to being finished-I can't WAIT until we're done and I can't wait to post pictures when we're done!

Parker's baby blessing will be this coming Sunday, August 1st and I've excited about it! I'm SO excited to finally go to church again and to see everyone there!

Here are some pictures of our little man who's growing up so fast:
