Well it has already been one whole sleep deprived month since sweet little Parker (or 'Little Red' as I like to call him) was born. Even with all of his reflux issues, he is a sweet baby. He is a growing baby too! On our scale at home (no dr appt until next month), he weighs 10 pounds! Yes, right on track with big boy Brooks! The nurse at our pediatrician's office said, "you guys are raising big men." We agree. Parker is very alert these days. You can really tell his eyes are focusing better when he looks at us with those big blue eyes. In fact, Parker seems to never sleep! He likes to stare at me and coo all night long. And I better not even think of putting him down or he will scream his head off! I am taking it as a compliment that he thinks his Mommy is pretty. :) Maybe his infatuation will end with me soon so I can get a little sleep.
Let me tell you about big brother Brooks! Initially we were pretty concerned with how rough Brooks would be around Parker. Well, the rough period only lasted about a week. Our baby giant is so gentle and sweet with his little brother. He likes to hold his little tiny hands, touch his sweet little feet, and pat that red head! As soon as Brooks wakes up from nap time, he runs to Parker's crib to look at his brother. He runs to him when he cries and thinks that Parker always need his paci.
