Eliana's 6 months old!

This is such a fun age and probably my favorite. They are still not quite mobile, but are becoming a little more independent.

 Current stats: 

Weight: 15lbs 6oz (25-50th percentile) 

Height: 25.78" long (25-50th percentile) 

Head circumference:  16.65" (25-50th percentile)

Clothing size: Wears 9mo & 6-12 month 

Shoe size: size 2 

At 6 months Eliana, 

 ...sits perfectly without support. 

 ...can scoot around the room while sitting. She can really get around if she is sitting on the hardwood. 

...babbles, screams and laughs so much and I'm pretty sure she has said mama a couple times. 

...she is at that age where Parker has fun sitting with her playing. They interact with each other and Parker will sing to her and play peek-a-boo. 

...we have started solids again. She struggles with the taste/texture of any of the baby cereals, so we moved on to fruits. She eats solids maybe every other day usually at dinner. I think I'm going to start giving them to her at breakfast as well. She eats extremely pureed bananas and apples so far. Any sort of texture and she gags and throws up.

...no teeth yet. She might be taking after Parker and will wait until 10 months until one pops up.

 

..she has discovered the kitty. I feel so bad for our cat, but he has such great patience with the little one's.
...she has discovered that if you bang two toys together it makes a loud sound, and she loves it.

 All around Eliana is such a happy baby. She is so smiley, and her temperament is pretty easy going. How did I get blessed with 3 beautiful and wonderful kids. Happy 6 months baby girl!

He can talk!

So, it may have been completely random, but this has to be one of the cutest videos of Parker. I was talking to him and asked a question and he actually responded!

My Lil' man is 6 months old!! (60,61/365)

He actually turned 6 months Monday, but I have been busy with orders and it's been keeping me from posting or even taking pictures. Note: this is not a bad thing at all, I'm very happy to be making things.

I do have a confession...we took Parker to JcPenny's to take his 6 months photos, eek! I'm not a professional by any means, but I know I have the capability of taking some decent photos and I went anyways. I wonder about myself sometimes, lol.

**I went ahead and took a bunch of photos today because Parker was being so adorable. I will post the JcPenny one's at another time.**

I'm amazed that 6 months has passed by since his birth. Time is going so fast!

Parker at 6 months...



...weighs 17 lbs 9 oz.
...is 26" long.
...wears 6-12 month clothing.



...is sitting!
...scoots all around the room, backwards.
...is getting up on all fours.



...is still refusing to eat solids foods.
...still toothless, but he has been a major drool monster the past week.



...LOVES when I sing to him, especially "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
...will respond when called; Parker, Bubba, baby boy and lil' man.


...naps 3 or 4 times throughout the day(40-45 minutes at a time.)
...still wakes up a couple times at night to eat.
...sleeps cuddled up next to me every night.



The Spiderman in this picture was the first toy he ever held in the hospital. It's also featured in his newborn photo shoot.


Parker has shown a new side of his personality, he get's very mad when you try to take a toy away. It's a little funny, but I have to be careful not to laugh or he might think it is okay to do this.



Nolan swears he says, "mama." He only says it when Nolan is holding him and it's getting close to his bedtime. He will start to cry and chant "mamamamama" until I hold him.



We took a picture of Parker wearing these sunglasses when he was 2 weeks old. I'm surprise I still even have them since I'm notorious for losing sunglasses.



...is starting to blow raspberries. It's so cute, he sucks in his lower lip when he does this.
...loves watching, "Price is Right" with me every morning. Our days don't go the same if we don't watch it.



...is such an all around happy baby!





The last 6 months have been so amazing, we are so blessed...Happy 6 months my lil' Prince!
