 On Saturday Parker has his first swimming lesson at the Y. He did great, and even didn’t seem to mind the two dunks under water. He’s such a fast learning. its amazing. |
 Parker went to his first Indians baseball game at Progressive Field on Sunday. He was startled at first by the crowed chearing, but by the second inning he was really into the game and all the fans cheering. |
Now that Parker seems to be back on the healthy train, along with Julia, the next item on our docket is to get Parker to sleep in blocks longer than 2 hours over night.
This week’s solution has us loading him up with rice cereal in the evening along with a 7 oune bottle right at bed time. So far its lead to him sleeping atleast 8-9 hours in a block.
Parker starts swim lessons this week at the Y as well!
Julia is currently Sicky Pants. Parker is rockin’ the Crabby Pants. While Dad is just plain Tired-Pants.
Parker made it through the weekend pretty decently. He was awake on and off Friday and Sat night… but by Sunday his cough had really calmed down. Last night he seemed a bit grouchy again at bed time and was hard to get to sleep, but finally went down for the night by 11. Julia and I keep playing with various bed time feeding amounts and we are discovering that he seems to like 6 ounces right at bed time, but then requires another 2 ounces a couple hours later before he’ll settle down for the night. Since we are trying to regulate his intake we think the later two ounces are gonna be something light like pear juice or pedialite.
Well Parker went to bed grouchy last night, and woke us up around midnight with a nice barking cough that turns out to be croup. So for the next few days we might mistake our crabby Parker-pants with a zoo animal, in hopes that it’ll break into a regular cold by weekends end.
Other notes of interest from a Doc visit is that Parker has really packed on the pounds since his last surgery and we can cut back a bit on his feeding schedule… so soon our little pudge ball will be a lean mean baby machine. Next up for Parker-pants, swim lessons at the YMCA.
