Huey's Report Card

Thought I should provide update for youngest Parker boy!Biggest news for Luke is probably that he is on accelerated feeding plan! He went from sampling basic rice cereal last month to thinking he can eat whatever big people are having & whenever thanks to 2 teeth that erupted within past couple weeks...Pretty much if food is present, he assumes he is entitled to a taste or maybe ten! He's not above growling/shrieking to make sure you're aware of his appetite & he's earned himself the nickname Swiper for grabbing his own bites or making a mess if you aren't supplying fast enough to meet his demand! Better late than never, here's his first official taste with spoon followed by quick progression to real drinks & treats:














He can also sit up like big boy...Show his masculine sense of humor re: bodily functions...

Succumb to namesake of which Chris feared...Become one with Lake Merwin...Only took a few mouthfuls of sand for him to learn that and driftwood are better left on the beach! Feel cool when he can bond with big brothers or if they give him attention. No one can make him laugh like Cole although Dane tries hard:) Oddly enough he looks the most like his eldest bro (or dad)-see for yourself:) When I'm feeling really ambitious I'll find baby pics of all 3 to comp, but best I could do for now (note Cole's pref Sun. attire while poor Huey is still stuck in his Church clothes):
Take advantage of playgrounds...



















Of course, he continues to cooperate with matching color scheme exhibited handsomely here on an orange Sun. afternoon... He has had to undergo sedation during nuclear medicine renal scan not to mention enduring 2 ultrasounds & a VCUG (don't ask me to remember/repeat what that acronym stands for, but ultimately analyzes kidney flow to bladder in hopes not reflux). Apparently those stuffed animals are donated to the hospital for children who have certain procedures:)


















All of these tests stem from obstruction they found during prenatal ultrasounds & hasn't resolved itself, so prob here to stay but doesn't seem aggravated by side effects. Just met with a specialist who reaffirmed that should have nothing to fear or be apprehensive about in future-perhaps high blood pressure but function seems normal?! I also won't try to spell the p-word that is on his reports thus far, but I'm not too worried @ this point & he doesn't look too nervous either:) He actually fell asleep 'cuz regular naptime before IV & gave me a thumbs-up sign when he came back to reality on his own right on time:)














Sorry again for those of you who were alarmed by mention on Chris' face book! As you can see, hasn't slowed him down too much...Waited long enough to post that I might as well add his recent crawling prowess!
People keep asking if it's sooner than our other boys, but can't recall-Guess real test will be how quickly he becomes a two-legged animal:) Can't imagine him actually walking @ 9 mos. like some lil guys I've heard about-whoa! Last but not least, he's grown into a pretty good little sleeper...for the record, I'm not nursing him:) His lashes are growing faster than rest of him & I'm pretty sure our youngest is actually a puppy but quickly changing into a lil' boy right before our eyes--we're loving all 18 lbs. of him even when mom gets to enjoy that much more 'cuz he's "advanced with emotional development" according to his pediatrician & experiencing separation anxiety a bit on the early side!?! Don't let him fool ya; easy to bond with the big personality that comes out of such a tiny guy! And here's to all the critics who doubt the amount of pics taken of third child:)
