As Parker grows from 4 weeks to 5 weeks, we start to see a lot of changes. He is starting to interact with the world a little more. Parker meets a lot of family and friends for the first time. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, more distant cousins, Great-grandmothers. He was, inevitably, passed around quite a bit. And with all that one-on-one attention (i.e., no Maia trying to get in on the action), he was happy to gurgle and coo and... SMILE! Not a fully social I know who you are and I know that you take care of me and I like that sort of smile... but a smile none-the-less, and boy are they cute smiles! So thanks, Aunt Tara, for getting this pic...

| Parker smiles! |
 |
| Parker is awake and alert! |
Along with the smiles, we're continuing to see more alert time, along with better gross-motor control. Head, arms, legs, trunk. Parker is even starting to grab Mommy's shirt or Daddy's arm hair. FUN!
So, here are a few people Parker got to meet for the first time.
 |
| Aaron and Parker |
 |
| Parker and Rachael |
 |
| Parker meets Great Grandma Oakes (in the background is Aunt Bonnie) |
 |
| Parker meets Great Grandma Ashley |

Maia got to get re-acquainted with people too.
 |
| Emily, Nicholas and Maia. Nicholas was fascinated by Maia's glasses, and it was fun to see the two interacting. |
And there were some pics of people with Parker I didn't get before (darn surgery).

| Grandpa and Parker. |
