...this sweet boy joined our family!

I cannot believe a week has gone by since our little Parker arrived. We just love him! Here are a few things we have learned about our baby boy:

He...

• does not like his diaper changed! It's a bit chilly!
• likes his hands by his face
• burps and "toots" like a man! He grunts, pushes, and wiggles to make it happen!
• has a cold nose!
• can sleep through his big bro's marching, music playing, running, yelling, etc...thankfully!
• likes to suck. Unlike Camden, he might be a binky boy.
• gets the hiccups all the time--just like he did in mama's belly
• has a strong grip
• is ticklish on his back and sides
• does great sleeping in between feedings at night
• is very alert. Camden was still so sleepy at a week old, but Parker has been wide-eyed since he came out!
• can bust out of a swaddle in no time!

It's so fun to experience all of the newborn things again. One of my personal faves is the unintentional smile in his sleep. Love that!
