Six Months Old!!

On Monday, Parker turned SIX MONTHS OLD!! It is so hard to believe she's already reached that "milestone." She continues to amaze us with her sweet personality and smiles and giggles. She is still spoiled rotten and loving the attention she gets every day at Granny's while Mommy and Daddy are at work. Still no interest in sitting up... she can hold herself up well in your lap, etc, but won't do it on her own. She's still only rolling over in one direction, but Mommy is okay with that, because that means we have a LITTLE while longer before the crawling begins!

The same day LSU won the National Championship, Parker's first tooth broke through! You still can't see it very well, but pictures will be coming as soon as we can get them. Now we are working on tooth #2. Even in the middle of teething, Parker remains a happy girl.

We went to the doctor for her 6 month check-up on Wednesday. She now weighs 16 lb., 15 oz. and is 26 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile in both of these. We know she's going to be a smart girl, because she's in the 90th percentile for head circumference! As Dr. Melton says, we've gotta have room for those brains! We'll be introducing the "mixed" foods and "meats" in about a month... we're going to continue mastering the first foods fruits and veggies. Her favorites seem to be bananas and squash, and she has a definite distaste for peas.

Here are a few pictures from the last month...

She really likes her play-mat and bumbo seat.

All this picture-taking is hard work!
