Good Baby Boy

Parker is two months old. *Already?* Is there anyway to slow this down?
Chris and I notice more and more changes every time we turn around. Our good boy is sleeping five... sometimes six hours during the night, which means Chris and I are getting more rest too. *Thank you Parker*
He is eating about every three hours which means more playtime during our afternoons. He is a very good boy and usually only gets upset when he is ready to eat or when he is really sleepy and wants to cuddle.

His first road trip went well too. Parker is quite the road warrior. Our trip to Fort Worth took us about 7 hours. It can be a little challenging to travel with a breastfed baby. His first hotel stay went well too. Parker cuddled up with me and went right to sleep.

I've spent a lot of time thinking of the best way to write about our visit with Dr. Honeycutt, the Pediatric Specialist.
He recommended that Parker have surgery on his front skull bone as soon as possible. After the surgery Parker will wear a baby helmet for about 9 months. This is all done in the Fort Worth area so that will be our home away from home for the next 9 months. We'll travel four maybe five times between October 26th and Thanksgiving and then once every two or three weeks until the helmet is off.
We absolutely hate the thought of our sweet baby needing surgery, but we are thankful that our Pediatrician caught this early before it caused Parker any pain.

I am praying for y'all and Parker. It is so hard to see your baby go through things. I'm sorry.
