6 Months Old!!!

It seemed like yesterday I was checking into the hospital to have my little man...now he is 6 months old!! He has truly been the best thing that has ever happened to me and Matt. He just lights up our life everyday with that smile of his. We thank God everyday for the precious gift he has given us. I know for sure we are truly blessed because he is such a good baby. He rarely cries, just fusses every now and then, sleeps very well and is a good eater! I have a feeling when we have our next child it won't be this easy!!

He is now eating squash, carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, pears, applesauce and bananas. I am proud to say I have been able to make all of his baby food so far. It is so easy with a Cuisinart! Every Sunday I load up the freezer with new food for the week. If any of you are interested in doing this I have a great book to recommend to help get you started.

Monday was Parker's 6 month check-up. He weighs 18.11 and is 27 1/2 inches long. For both height and weight he is in the 75Th percentile. The doctor said he was doing great. The one thing he definitely needs work on is his tummy time. He hates it so much it is hard to make him do it! So this week he will be on his tummy a lot more to try and get him to rollover. My Mom said he rolled over twice for her but I am not counting it because I didn't see it!! ;)

The past 6 months have been so much fun and I know the next 6 months will be even better. It seems like each day he is doing something new. Enjoy the monthly "chair" photos from his 6 month birthday!

Just to see how much he has grown and changed...
