A Day At the Spa


Each day Parker shows everyone that he is an extremely strong and resiliant baby. With a routine finally set for Parker of sleep, play, and eat he is so much happier. We hardly expected a positive weight change from him after his bath but Parker showed us how well the routine is working by adding another 10 grams to his already chubby little body.


Speaking of bath, Parker has recentently discovered that bath time is not that big of an ordeal. It no longer entails 10 minutes of Parker belting out a high pitched cry while quivering his bottom lip. The little monkey now enjoys the process of being clean. Mommy and daddy now refer to Parker's bath time as 10 miniutes at the Spa. We have yet to decide which form of bath Parker enjoys more, a sponge bath or a full fledge dip in the tub.


With the sponge bath, Parker gets to be snuggled up in a comfy blanket as his daddy holds him. Mommy then uses the warm sterile water to wash his little body parts as the monkey looks on. If it is a full blown bath, we place the little guy in the tub filled with suds, warm sterile water and a bunch of towels and blankets so he can kick up his feet as his mommy and daddy do all the work.
