Parker at 6 Months

It's hard to believe but little Parker has been with our family for 6 months now.  He has changed so much since he was born.  The biggest one if of course his size.  He is now:

Weight: 15lb 8oz (15th percentile)
Height: 26" (35th percentile)
Head Circumference: 44cm (57th percentile)

He is wearing size 3-6 and 6 month clothes and 1-2 diapers.  Parker is now eating 3 meals a day plus nursing/bottles 5 times plus at night.  He goes to bed around 7:00 and wakes up around 7:00 am for good.  He is still up between 1-3 times at night to nurse/snuggle with mom.  Our pediatrician said he doesn't need to eat at night for dietary reasons anymore so we need to let him cry a little but I'm not sure that we are ready for that yet.

Parker takes several naps a day.  Most are 30-45 minutes but if we swaddle him we can get a couple hours out of him on the weekend.

He rolls over onto his belly with ease and will occasionally roll onto his back.  He is getting closer to sitting up each day.  He LOVES attention and is fascinated by his big brother.  He is getting use to his vocal cords and will make a range of sounds.  His laughs are adorable and he loves to smile!

He is so much fun and seeing that gummy smile just melts our hearts each day!

Here are some pictures from his half-birthday celebration:
