Parker's first swim

On Monday Sam and I decided to take Parker down to the pool for his first swim! He loves the bath, so it was no surprise he loved the pool too. Or at least we think he did, this was the face he made pretty much the entire time. No tears though!

I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to take him down just so he could wear his cute swimsuit.

Thanks for the hat and glasses Grandma! :)

Isn't he cute??

Padres Game

Last week we took Parker to his first baseball game! My dad's cousin and his wife gave us a couple tickets to see the Padres, and we had a great time. Parker pretty much slept the whole time in his carrier. We had awesome seats, and the Padres killed the Marlins, so it was perfect!

It was pretty chilly, so he loved having his face covered up with his hood.

Enjoying the game!

Two Months

Parker had his two month appointment yesterday and he is still growing! He's in the 97th percentile for his length, the 75th for his weight and the 25th for his head circumference. He got 3 shots, which was really sad for both him and me. He's a trooper though.

Not much new is going on with Sam and me. We're finally settled into our apartment and are loving San Diego. The weather, of course, is amazing and we spend lots of time outside. We haven't braved the beach with Parker yet, (and I really don't want to wear a swimsuit!) but I'm sure we'll get out there soon. We hope we'll have lots of visitors! : )

The Fourth of July

It was a fun and relaxing 4th of July here at the Schmidt's! We started out the day by going to a pancake breakfast at the church. It was fun!! There was good food and we met a couple new families. Later in the day we headed over to a local park where they had a little 4th of July celebration. The weather was great, but it was really sunny so we had to keep Parker covered up.

Here's one of Parker in his 4th of July outfit.

After the picnic we went home and took a nap and relaxed for awhile, and later that night we went back to the church and sat on the lawn to watch the Rancho Bernardo fireworks. Parker started out the night by sleeping.

But then he woke up and chilled on dad's lap for the show. I think he actually watched them for a couple minutes, but he quickly lost interest. The noise didn't scare him at all--this is pretty much what he looked like for the rest of the night.

I think we wore him out though, because he fell asleep on the way home and slept all night! I actually had to wake him up at about 6:30 so I could feed him. We are so lucky to have such an amazing baby!

Parker's New Trick

Parker found his voice this past week and we love hearing him "talk". He's such a cutie. He's also started to smile on purpose. He usually just smiles with one side of his mouth, it's adorable.

Parker's also adjusting very well to San Diego. He LOVES to be outside, so we've been going on walks everyday. He's also gone right back to sleeping through the night, so I'm feeling great too!Here's a couple videos of the little man!!!
