Half a year already?

How has my baby already hit his half year mark??  Parker turned 6 months two days before Christmas!  Here are Parker's 6-month stats ...

Height: 27.5 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz (5th percentile)

Yup, that's right.  Parker is tall and skinny, just like his brother!  At 6 months, Parker ...

- is finally rolling from his back to his tummy -- for days after he figured out he could roll both directions he would start rolling across the room the instant I put him on the floor; :)

- has become a very chatty baby -- he always wants to make sure we don't forget about him; 

- sleeps 9-10 hours at night and takes at least 2 naps each day; 

- has tried a few different foods, but prefers oatmeal cereal and pears; 

- is very stubborn; if we try to feed him something he doesn't want he clamps his mouth shut as tight as he can; 

- is still teething big time (he's constantly chomping), but has not had any teeth pop through; 

- is learning how to sit on his own (his record is 29 seconds); 

- loves baths and drenches mommy with his epic splashing every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night; 

- loves to play peekaboo, and especially loves when Jackson shares his toys with him and comes over to play with him (most of the time); 

- has an awesome laugh and is a happy, smiley baby!

Parker rolled himself under the rocking chair and decided to stay and play awhile

Parker likes to roll onto his tummy so he can look around

Where's Parker??
Peek-a-boo!!



Parker makes some pretty silly faces these days :)


Happy 6 months, Parker!  We love you!!
