It's time to celebrate! Parker has FINALLY passed 17 pounds--he now weighs 18 pounds 10.9 ounces!!! We are so proud of him. Yesterday he saw Dr. Williams, his cardiologist, for his monthly appointment. His vital signs were all great, as usual. He also had an echocardiogram (basically an ultrasound of his heart). It didn't show any improvement, but it also wasn't worse than a few months ago, so essentially that means he is stable. We can't complain about that! Today he saw his pediatrician, Dr. Satterwhite, for his 15 month check-up. He is still in the less than 3% for his weight, but he is gaining weight now, so that's what counts. We all know that Parker is much smaller than most kids his age and behind in his gross motor skills (crawling, walking, etc...), but we know that he will eventually catch up. For now, we are just incredibly grateful for the progress that he has made and the great blessing we have of being part of his life.

That's awesome Jenn! I am so glad to hear that he is doing well. Looks like the kids had fun at the pool!
He looks so good, I am sure he is going to be a Thomas the Train fan just like his big brother, Connor will have to put his train away!! Love all of you.
