Happy 6 Months Baby Boy

I cannot believe that 6 months have already gone by! It is amazing how quickly time flies. Parker seems so much older every single day and I cannot believe that I have been so blessed. He looks so much like Travis, it is fun to look at him and see so much of his daddy smiling back at me. Although he has been a little fussy lately, a mild fever all day yesterday, and doing weird things at night (waking up at random times to talk to himself or crying a little while still asleep) he is so much fun.

Some of the highlights about what Parker James is up to now :

• he is rolling all over the living room now...mostly trying to catch Deacon
• his new favorite noise is a very high-pitched & girly scream...he does it if he is mad or happy...pretty funny actually
• parks has 1 tooth and another already through the skin right next to it
  
• now it is hard to eat in front of him, even if he has already eaten because he is constantly reaching for our food
• he loves sweet potato, peach, and banana puffs (Gerber snacks that are crunchy but melt in your mouth)
• at lunch today he tried some pieces of tortilla (loved it) and some little bits of ice (also loved it)
• does not like green beans (but still won't spit them out...come on now...it's food after all!!!)
• loves playing fetch with Deacon outside
• finally figured out the jumperoo...but he more stands on his tip-toes then drops, it is funny
• is obsessed with Daddy

Here are what you are really wanting...THE PICTURES:

Here is a little progression of how our "awake times" go:

step 1: parker rolls all the way across the living room to get over to Deacon


step 2: deacon still tolerating parker's presence because he hasn't reached him yet

step 3: parker finally gets to touch deacon

step 4: deacon acts like a grumpy old man and gets up a walks away...leaving a sad baby that worked so hard just to get to him a be his buddy


Just a couple pictures from today--notice the constant line of drool spilling out of his mouth...yummy!
