I can't believe its been 4 months since Parker Hoover Worley was born! He has grown so much in the last 4 months, weighing in at 13lbs, 5 ounces and 24 inches. He is taller than 75% of the kids his age and in the 50% range for his weight. Thank goodness he got his mom's height - let's hope that we can add his dad's athletic ability to the mix - a star is born!
The time has flown by and in celebration of the big day and the time flying by, Parker has been using his duck towel post bath.

A Day in the Park
March 17, 2011
Medicine. Yuck.
The last two weeks have been really tough. Since our return from California, Parker has not been sleeping well. He would eat and go down for about an hour and then wake up and scream. At first, we blamed the long nights on messing up his schedule and then we decided that he didn't like to sleep alone. We brought him to sleep in our bed which made for even longer nights and didn't seem to stop him from crying...for hours on end.
The ladies at his daycare just couldn't imagine that the sweet little child that we dropped off to them every day would ever cry. We got the same report from them every day.."He's just an angel.". At times, I felt like they had my Parker confused with another child.
Last Friday, Parker had a follow up with his doctor about an ear infection. Kevin started telling her about his episodes and she immediately had an answer. She told us the answer was plain and simple - he has acid reflux. It makes so much sense! He spends all day in the nursery, propped upright and when we put his flat in his crib, the acid reflux makes him miserable.
She prescribed us liquid Zantac and said to make him sleep upright. I can only blame his genetics - both grandpas tend to eat Zantac or Pepcid fairly regularly. Unfortunately for Parker, he really dislikes the taste of his mint flavored Zantac. A spoonful of sugar will not help this medicine go down.
Looks like he is more like his grandpas than we could have imagined, they can watch TV and eat Zantac together!

Blabber Mouth
Parker has found his voice! He just talks and talks, to his toys, the ceiling fan, his fingers...just about anything that will listen.

Successful Mardi Gras
March 8, 2011
bubble bath
Parker really loves being in the water and doesn't mind taking a bath every once in a while either. When he's not feeling well or we can't seem to make him happy, getting him into the bath makes everything right in his world.
Today I added bubbles...
I think I had just as much fun as he did. I spent tons of time on his hair. Happy Tuesday! Happy Mardi Gras!
Today I added bubbles...
and he tried to eat them by the fistfull. He definitely liked his bubble bath.
Mardi Gras 2011
Parker came... |
Parker saw |
and caught beads... |
but Mardi Gras conquered. |
His bed time came and went and he was still wide awake, but just a little after 8:30, we found him sound asleep, he had his fair share of Mardi Gras.

California Trip - a big success
Our trip to California was a big success for the most part. Parker slept through most of the flights there and back. He seems made to travel the friendly skies. He was also a huge hit with his West Coast extended family.
He got to meet his Uncle Kyle and Aunt Lindsey for the first time and seemed to love them both!
Kevin and I managed to escape for just a bit and made a visit to the Big Trees and also to Moaning Caverns, it was nice to be able to spend the day with each other. We tried our best not to talk about Parker the entire time.
Right before we left, Parker giggled for the first time. His grandpa Dennis made it happen! Video to come very soon.

March 1: What a great day for the Worleys
March 1 was a big day. Parker turned 3 months old and I started a new job! What a great way to begin the month of March and Mardi Gras season.
We also have visitors coming in this weekend - Aunt Alyssa and Uncle Andy, all the way from Boston. I can't wait for them to meet baby P.
