Milestones


Parker has learned to roll over! At three months and three weeks, twice now he has been found on his back in his crib (he is a tummy sleeper). Both times he was quite fussy and upset as though he had no idea how this happened! For the past few weeks he has been scooting around in his crib. He will move from one end to the other, he has twisted his body around so he is sideways, and he has moved over so he is resting against the rails! Something tells us he will be crawling in no time!




He has also begun to eat rice cereal, both white and whole wheat. We started this just after his three month birthday. We knew he was ready to start eating when he would watch us while we were eating. He would stare so intently and start smacking his lips while we ate! It took just a few tries, but he is eating off the spoon like a champ! He gets excited when he sees the bowl, opens his mouth for the spoon and sucks the food right off. Guess we need to buy a high chair!

Baptism

God parents Josh Redman & Missy Gehrke

Parker was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church on April 21, 2013. He was just over three months old and did very well! He was awake for most of the services and finally fell asleep just before it was his turn. He barely fussed as the water was poured over him. Then Pastor Janet walked him down the aisle and held him up in the air and Parker seemed to enjoy it. Half asleep, he just looked around at everyone without a fuss or cry from him!
