Week of Milestones

This has been a big week for Parker- so many 'firsts'! This past Saturday, we went out to a restaurant for the first time with Parker to celebrate Amy's birthday and we had such a great time and he was very well behaved (luckily dinner was during the VT vs. ECU game so we didn't have to actually watch the embarassing loss).
At Cala Moresca Restorante in Bacoli with (left to right) Heather, Ian, Amanda, Ed, Karl (nice smile babe), Parker, me, Amy, and Scott.
Tuesday was a big day here because Karl left for Germany which meant I was alone with Parker for the first time...crazy that it took over a month for that to happen! On Tuesday night, Parker smiled for the first time and it wasn't the kind we often relate to his gas :) Then on Wednesday, he got weighed and is a whopping 9 lbs...my little guy is growing up too fast! I am finally getting to put some his newborn clothes away, but he's short enough that I can hang on to most of them still. Last night was the absolute best of his 'firsts'....he slept all the way through the night going nine hours between feedings! I have been told that I'm lucky to have such a good baby and I agree :)

I'll get some new pics of him up soon, but when Karl was away, there wasn't a lot of free time for photographing the kid- I was lucky just to survive alone for three days!
