First Tooth!

Parker's first tooth popped through on March 20.  You can see three tiny white bumps.  It's so cute =)  I still can't believe he's old enough to have teeth!  He's definitely not a baby baby anymore.  Especially compared to the newest babies in our lives, Lena Marie Hurt, and Josiah Daniel Haskell.  Life is full of babies these days!  Praise God!

Parker and Josiah.  6 months makes a big difference!

They say teething can have a lot of side affects.  His nose is definitely runny, and so is this!  He's had 2 days in a row with 2 baths =)

He's also learning how to sleep without being swaddled.  Since he was born, we've been putting him in a Swaddle-Me and it has worked great.  Now that he rolls every chance he gets, the swaddle isn't working (and isn't safe.)  He can flip himself over in his bed without even using his arms!  Then he thinks he'd like to sleep face down.  The first night I put him in a sleep sack, he was able to put himself to sleep rather quickly, but he also woke up about 4 times that night.  I finally swaddled him at 5:30am, and had to wake him up at 6:45 so I could get him to the babysitter's.  (He usually wakes up at around 6:00).  The next night I put just one arm in the swaddle, and let the other one loose.  He fell asleep after about 5 minutes of wimpering, and I didn't hear from him again until 6:00 =)  Good job baby!  Now tonight I wrapped him the same way, put him in his bed, he rolled himself over, and was asleep minutes after without any crying.  Yay!  I was worried the other night when he woke up a few times that this would be a tough transition, but it only took one night.  Way to go Parker!
