Weekend Fun!

It has been a great weekend- we are sad to see it go!  Parker had his first audiology test (ABR) on Friday after failing his newborn screening.  He passed for both ears!  This rules out permanent hearing loss, which we are very thankful for.  They will see him again in 6 months to monitor for any hearing loss due to fluid build up--and probably continue to see him throughout his childhood.  Awesome news-- about time the little man caught a break! 

Friday night, Parker got to meet his friend Colin (who is almost 1!) and we got to have dinner with Kristen and Eric!  It is crazy to think that these boys will be thought of as the same age some day when they seem so different now!  The puppies got a chance to play, too, which Chase really needed.  He has been so much better with Parker than we ever thought he would be! Proud of him!

Saturday was an awesome day too!  We started it off by heading to GiGi's Playhouse for group classes-- we learned a few tips for the next few months from a volunteer therapist and met some more new friends!  I can't say enough good things about our time at GiGi's thus far-- it has been so enjoyable for Matt and I.  I can't wait to go to group play next week-- and am sad that it will be our last week to go because I go back to work.  We continued the day with some house/condo hunting-- we were unsuccessful but it was still fun to bring Parker around with us.  We ended the night with a good nap (hey...the sleep deprived think very highly of a little nap time) and dinner at Bahama Breeze.  Parker was very enamored with a plant at our table, so we think he enjoyed himself too!

Today, we got to have lunch and a trip to the mall with Auntie Morgan.  She showed him one of his prized smiles while sleeping.  Hopefully his social, purposeful smiles will come soon!
