Six months old!

Well I have certainly been remiss in keeping up with this blog the past 6 weeks...I guess summer got me.  Grant has been out of school and we have had been out of town so often.  Fun times though.  Grant has been accepted to Brandt preschool for the fall which is great news and we are excited for him to start September 9th.  Today is Parker's 6 month birthday!  Very exciting news.  Here are some stats about the little man...
-According to my approximations (dr appt is in a few weeks), Parker weighs around 16 lbs and is 26" long.
-He eats solids 2x a day and enjoys banana/avocado and peas.  He was not a fan of solids at first, but now finishes off 1 oz of puree and 1 tbsp oat cereal at a feeding.
-Still exclusively breastfed.  He hasn't even seen a bottle, so yeah, I'm really hoping I'm not screwed in that department.
-Sleep is going well.  He naps 3x a day at around 8:30, 11:30 and 3.  He goes to sleep around 7:30 and wakes up between 5:30-6:30.
-Rolls like a fiend...it is his favorite mode of transportation.  I have seen him do some army crawls occasionally to get to something he really wants, but mostly he rolls across the room all day long.  He is also starting to sit up and does so very well when supports.  He can only balance by himself for around 5-10 seconds.  Mostly because he wants to be on the move.  I think this kid is going to be trouble as far as activity goes.
I'd say that's about it, but any other questions are welcome.
Here are some pictures...a lot of pictures!

  1. He's eating solids?! Way to go, Parker!
    And he looks giant next to that little baby. I guess size is relative. Love the pictures!
