6 Months Old

 We took Parker to her 6 month check-up and she seems to be doing very well.  She is 27 inches tall (88%) and weighs 15 lbs (46%).  She is so much fun right now. A few weeks ago, she wouldn't put pressure on her feet and now she loves to jump.  I bought her a jumper that goes between the doorways and she loves to sit in it and jump up and down.

She loves her feet.  Over the past few weeks, she has learned to grab her feet and stick them in her mouth.  When I lay by her or try to get her dressed, she will grab me with her hands and feet.  She always has her feet in the air.  Parker also loves to go for walks in the stroller.  She just lays back and puts her feet up and just chills.  We go on lots of walks, even if it is around and around the driveway.

Parker also loves to eat food.  When I started her on oatmeal, she was a natural eater and knew just what to do with her food.  She loves her oatmeal.  Right now I feed her oatmeal for breakfast, a veggie for lunch and oatmeal in the evening.  If I don't make her take a bottle first, she will have nothing to do with it.  She watches us eat and thinks she needs to be eating as well.

Just this last week, she has started to grab toys and hold on to them for a few minutes.  They go directly to her mouth as soon as she picks them up.  She takes her binki out of her mouth, but can't figure out how to get it back in there.  She is really starting to roll over.  I don't lay her on the ground that much, so she has never felt the need to roll over.  She is getting stronger now and likes to roll over and lay there for a few minutes.  She will probably be sitting up in another two weeks.
