It's been a long time!

Hello world! It's been way too long since my last post. I've been spending the past month chasing my son around the house, pushing cabinet doors closed, removing him from the dog's food and water bowls, taking things out of his mouth and hands that he shouldn't have, watching him walk around tables, and chairs, and cabinets, and beds, and people...So, you see, I haven't been busy at all. 




A quick recap of what all has happened since my last post:

- Parker got his cast off in late March and he is continuing to heal. He was not very happy with the cutting tool, but he was a brave boy. His thumb looks much better than when he first got his cast off, but there is still quite some swelling. He still has low mobility in his thumb joint, and we are hoping that corrects itself once the finger has completely healed, which the doctor said could take up to 6 months.

- In a month, Parker quickly went from a non-mover....to a scooter....to an army crawler...to a crawler...He is everywhere now that he has a whole new perspective on the world. It's been a fun month watching him change and grow so quickly and become such an independent little man. 

- He got his first two teeth on the bottom. We don't see any signs of any new buds coming through.

- Parker has become such an interactive little boy. He loves to be engaged and loves to try to engage others. If you stop paying attention to him...don't worry...he'll pull you back in any way he can. 


- Parker has stayed busy by going to the park, taking walks, running errands with Mama, playing outside in our turtle sandbox, climbing on the dog, reading books, and taking in any new thing that he can. He is such a curious, determined, energetic, smart little boy. 








And all of that just wears us out....Some days you just have to crash....
