Two Month Checkup

We went to the doctor yesterday and got a great report. Parker is now 15 pounds 2 ounces and 25.5 inches long, both in the 97th percentile. He was a trooper during the shots too. He is already wearing 6-9 month clothing, which is just crazy since he is only 9 weeks old. Plus, Parker has recently made us very happy parents by sleeping through the night!

Although being back at work started off as a nice change of pace, it is difficult spending so little time with him each day. He loves to laugh and play--he is such a joy to be around. He is having a great time at Nana's while we are at work. They enjoy going for walks and reading books together.

We all went to a fun barbecue the other day where Parker got to spend some more time with his girlfriend Riley. They really seem to hit it off!

We can't believe it!

I did an unofficial weigh in the other day, and it appears that Parker is a whopping 14.5 pounds already. Granted, I did this by weighing myself first, then holding him on the bathroom scale, so it might not be completely accurate, but a good approximation.

PJ is starting to hold on to things more and more (unfortunately it is usually the hair or shirt collar of anyone holding him). But we have been able to get him to play with a few simple toys like the rattle in the picture, so that is adding new fun to our days.

I go back to work on Monday and although I look forward to teaching again, it will be difficult to be away from Parker all day. Luckily, he will be spending this time with Nana Susan which we are all very excited about.

Our "Little" Man

As you can see in the picture, Parker continues to grow and is looking more grown up every day. We aren't sure if it is just that he has "bald man's hair" or not, but he has started to look like Grandpa Jim lately.

And he is quite the ladies' man--he and his girlfriend Riley make such a cute couple. And no surprise that he has picked an older woman, just like his daddy.
