smiling's my favorite


parker is figuring out how to smile! this is the only one i have captured on camera. it is so fun to watch him try so hard to get his mouth to smile. he is also trying so hard to find his voice and talk to us. we have gotten a few coo's out of him but i think within the next week he will be smiling up a storm. and before we know it, im sure he will be talking a mile a minute!

one of parker's most recent favorite past times is looking out the window. we lay him on his tummy on the top of the couch and he will stare out the window for the longest time. he is so good at holding his head up by himself now. sometimes i forget he is only 6 weeks old.when we took parker to the doctor just about 2 weeks ago he was weighing in at 8 pounds 2 oz but the past few days i have been putting him in some of his 3 month size clothes and they fit him. but he can also still fit into some of his new born outfits too.... weird. he is getting to be too long for most his new born outfits though. makes me kind of sad his is growing so fast, but im also excited and anxious for him to get older so he interacts with us more.

jared turned 25 on the 24th of january. it also happened to be parker's 1 month birthday! so we figured out that parker turned 1 month and jared turned 300 months! jared had to go to a class during the day but we went out to dinner when he got home and opened some presents and ate cake and ice cream. i love celebrating birthdays.

jared has also officially started his job. he is doing training all this week and he said he is pretty overwhelmed already, but i know he will catch on fast. i know he enjoys being busy again but parker and i miss having him home with us all day.

other than that, parker and i are just hanging out all day everyday. im looking forward to the summer so that i can take him outside on walks and not be cooped up inside all day because its too cold to take him out anywhere.

It's funny to hear you say he's growing out of the newborn outfits at 6 weeks. Ava fit into hers for 2 weeks. Luckily I hadn't bought any and we only had a few. Ava was 8 lbs 2 oz at birth though. He's cute and I love when they start smiling and cooing. It made me not feel so dumb talking to her when I knew she could coo back at me. It was hard at first when she wouldn't respond even though I knew she was still listening to my voice.
