Happy 1/2 Birthday Parker! You have had a pretty exciting 6 months of your new life. You’ve visited places that some people don’t get to go to in their lifetime, you are reaching milestones week-by-week, and you have so so many people that love you.
And here’s another one…because we’re 6 months old now and we sit up on our own.
Stats: ??? Dr. appointment is not until next week
Your personality has really unfolded this past month. We made another big move, from Miami back to Buffalo, which has made your love for meeting new faces and surroundings grown even more. You tend to open up more and more as the group around you increases. We call you Mr. Adventure; you love to be tossed around by daddy and flipped every which way. Please promise that you won’t tell me when you go skydiving with Uncle Stephen until after you do it. Thank God your hair has started to grow in. I thought you’d have the old man receding hairline forever. Carrots have been added to the menu recently, you don’t like them very much (I know this by the grunts and moans that you make) but you’re a fat kid at heart like your mom so you open your mouth to eat them anyway. You say “Mama” all the time, it’s the most beautiful sound I have yet to hear 🙂
