Happy Belated Easter

Happy Easter to all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We spent the weekend in Austin with Kyle's family and had a great time. Before we left though, we had Easter with my family in Dallas on Thursday night - we had great food (as usual) and everyone got to see Parker in his cute Easter outfit!
Parker did great on his first road trip - he slept the whole way down to Austin! Friday we went to dinner at El Rancho, then we went to see Jenn and Justin's new house on Saturday. It looks amazing! Saturday night we had a great dinner at Kim and Jason's. Our nephew Sam just loves Parker, so we thought he would get a kick out of carrying Parker in the front carrier! It was so cute, whenever Parker would fuss, we just told Sam to walk and bounce!

Sunday we went to church and Parker slept straight through - thank goodness! We had relaxing rest of the day, then a yummy Easter dinner. Overall it was a great weekend and we were glad everyone got to spend some time with Parker.

 How cute is he in his "Baby's First Easter" bib and bunny hat!? Anyway, Parker is just growing up so fast... He is up to 10 lbs now, I just can't believe it! He is also much more awake everyday, however he tends to get cranky in the evenings. We are having to make sure he goes down for naps throughout the day to keep him from getting overtired. I am also having him nap in his crib upstairs, so hopefully in the next couple weeks we can get him sleeping overnight in his room. The longest stretch we've gotten overnight is about 5 hrs, so we are getting closer to sleeping through the night. We are also increasing the number of formula bottles he is getting - we are up to 3/day now. By next week he should be on formula all day and I will still try to nurse at night if I can. Also, a little bumpiness has recently popped up on his face. I know it's completely normal, but his skin was so pretty and clear before! Hopefully it doesn't stick around too long.
