Let me introduce myself...

Here I am 1 week old!

Hey everyone, my name is Parker John Smith.  It is about time my parents let me have a little computer time.  I have a bit of catching up to do since I am now 14 weeks old.  I think I am finally starting to adjust to life outside of the womb, but let me tell you, it was a lot less noisy in there.  I have the best two big sisters, but they can be pretty noisy at times.

Here I am right before I was born in my moms tummy!

Here I am a few hours later!

Well I guess I will start from the beginning, I was born in Friday August 24, 2012 at 12:00 p.m.  I was just a little guy weighing in at 6 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long.  I am making up for it now, mom and dad say I am growing like a weed.  I have been doing great since we got home from the hospital.  I like to make sure my mom keeps busy, so I puke all the time so that she has plenty of laundry to do.

Here I am with my dad, he sure is proud!                      Here are my sisters, they sure love to hold me.

I have had a lot of first in my short time here, such as my first airplane ride when I was just 2 weeks old.  Mom and dad took me to Chicago while dad was at a meeting.   Mom and I spent a lot of time walking around the city.  There was so much to look at, but mostly I just slept.  My sisters sure like to see what I am doing.  They really like to give me my binkie even if I don't want it.  My sister Elle loves to hold me.  Taylee is always a little concerned that I am going to "spit up" on her.  I guess I do a fair amount of that.

 Here I am with dad on my first hike up at Snowbird.

 I decided to show mom and dad my smile a few weeks ago and that has earned me big points.

Here I am at 13 weeks!

Well that is about it.  Mom says she will let me keep you updated more often from here on out!

Love,

Parker
