Exciting things for Parker!

Last night Corey and I took Parker to her first concert. It was loud, but awesome - I am glad she is still "surrounded by padding" as Corey put it (I didn't ask him to elaborate because he usually just digs himself a deeper hole). 4 hours of classic hits. She was definitely moving around during the first hour or so, and then she seemed to get used to the music. I got up to head to the bathroom after Tiny Dancer and she was kicking away! This was the 3rd time I've seen Billy Joel in concert, and I think it was the best. He played Just the Way You Are, She's Always a Woman, River of Dreams, Only the Good Die Young, We Didn't Start the Fire, It's Still Rock N Roll (to me), Uptown Girl, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, You May be Right, and of course, Piano Man. Elton played a few that I didn't know, but I recognized Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me, Crocodile Rock, The Blues, Candle in the Wind, Your Song and I am sure I am forgetting some others of both Billy Joel and Elton John. We were some of the younger people in the crowd which was nice because everyone was well-behaved and no one bumped Parker as I was walking.
Me and Parker on our way to the Face to Face concert (almost 22 weeks)! She is going to love Billy Joel's greatest hits :)

Parker already loves Baby Gap! She already has a few cute outfits (the clothes above are for 12-18 months). Yes, they will be a bit out of style, but compared to the options on the base, they are still much more adorable! Baby Gap is pretty pricey, but luckily I enjoy bargain shopping. I consider it one of my skills. The items above were $34 total (plus tax in TX) and they all match.

These are some of Parker's new outfits (6-12 months). The most expensive item in this photo was $5.99 (range $3.99-5.99), so I consider these a steal. The pink pants have little eyelets and ruffles on the pocket. The patchwork pants have embroidery that matches the white embroidery on the pink hoodie. So cute!

Officially, Holly and I did not accept these gifts from Straumann. But if we don't bring them to UTHSCSA, how will you know if we did?

This is Parker's first stuffed animal, courtesy of the Ritz Carlton Lode in Greensboro, GA. The conceirge was above-and-beyond friendly and helpful. The Ritz definitely spoiled us.

This was taken at 20 1/2 weeks before I left for the resident symposium in Georgia. Parker has one cool (for a periodontist) mom!
