September 29th we had to go see Dr. Santos for the first time. She thought Parker looked great, and he had gained 1.5 oz since discharge. The trip wore him out!
She recommended buying swaddling blankets with velcro closures for safety, so we stopped by the store to get a couple. We lovingly referred to them as "baby straighjackets." It made Parker into a nice, secure little baby burrito to prevent the Moro reflex from waking him.
Grammy and cousin Riley dropped off dinner for us. She was so excited to see her new cousin!
September 30th was Parker's first bath at home! Since his umbilical stump was still intact, it was just a sponge bath. He didn't cry!
Daddy did a great job holding him to get his hair washed.
All clean!
Checking out the glider with Daddy.
Hanging out in the bouncy seat while Mommy and Daddy eat dinner.
A very tired looking Mommy with Parker!
Someone started developing a preference for thumb sucking!
Daddy and Parker
Mike, Hope, and Ella came down the night of the 29th to stay with us. On September 30th, more family joined us for lunch and to spend time with Parker
Papaw Bill got to hold Parker for the first time.
And so did Grampy.
Meme had gotten to hold him in the hospital, but she still looked pretty excited!
After a quick wardrobe change and some milk, Parker was ready to spend time with Grammy.
Uncle Mike's big hands make Parker look so tiny!
Cousin Ella was happy to hold her new cousin. She's very good with babies, having had lots of practice with her little cousin Scarlett.
