Today is Parker's Birthday...his one week birthday. Excuse me for being a little overzealous. I feel as though he has accomplished a lot in his first week. From struggling to breathe, to wolfing down bottles in less then 15 minutes.
Yep, our little guy has progressed very far. We love him more and more everyday. In fact, today I went to work for a few hours and didn't see him in the morning, only to see upon my return that his face had already changed since yesterday. I feel like if I don't see him for a couple of days I will return to a boy who is asking where my shaving cream is.
Of course I am exaggerating a bit, but they meant it when they said kids grow up fast. I will do my very best to make sure that I don't miss out on anything.
So, Parker is well on his way towards getting to go home. His goal for the day was to take 3 full feedings. The feedings could be either bottles with breast milk or breast feedings. He has already had 2 bottles and 2 monster breast sessions. He has 2 feedings left for the day. When I got to feed him at 6 o'clock he sucked down 50cc, which is just shy of 1 and a half ounces, in less then 15 minutes. Translation...Parker CAN EAT!!!
He has been wide awake at all of his feedings and has become extremely vibrant. His facial expressions absolutely crack me up. I am a proud and amused Papa.
Parker also had his first bath today. Sarah said that he enjoyed it at first until he decided he was hungry and then fussed. Never get between Parker and his food.
Another really cute thing is that today he is wearing his first outfit.
All and all, all is good!! He continues to amaze.
Thank you and God Bless.
