Baby!

I promise this won't turn into a baby blog, but Parker had such a cute one, with such long, long eyelashes. Baby Parker and I shared some bonding moments when I realized that she hadn't had too much baby company in the past, so I laid down on my back beside her on the floor and pretended that I was another baby to hang out with. She loved it.

Baby Parker has drastically changed Parker and Mr. Parker's lives: their conversation upon Mr. Parker's return home from work focused on Baby Parker's health and both of their abilities to make it through the day on the 3 hours of sleep from the night before. Also: Parker has picked up an amazing repertoire of songs: as soon as Baby Parker begins to fuss, Parker starts singing. I'm talking about baby songs I've never even heard of, as well as some that were made up just for the baby!

In addition: Did you know you're supposed to read to babies? Who knew? Well, Parker does so each night (although neither she nor I could see that it would do much of anything). Either way, Parker has memorized a number of baby books.
