1/2 Birthday!!!!!!

Last week was Mr. Parker's 1/2 birthday!  It was 6 whole months ago that he arrived and it feels like a month ago :(

He has started enjoying being on his tummy, grabbing at toys that are in front of him.

He is sitting up so much better, but still needs some assistance when he leans back too far.  He is CHOMPING on his little fingers, and anything else he can grab and quickly get into his mouth.
Last month we gave up on his baby tub and started having him sit in the sink (with my hands griping him pretty tightly). We did have one mishap where in the tub he slipped out of my hands (babies are slippery when soapy) and bumped his head on the sink.  Luckily he was fine, no bump even developed.  But the next day we bought a full tub mat and cut it to fit in the sink.  I am dreading when we have to switch to the full tub baths.  I tried it once and hated it! I felt so crammed in my bathroom with the toilet right next to me, and my knees hurt and I felt like he was farther away and more difficult to hold onto.  Ughh I don't want to do it.

Parker has decided that middle of the night is the perfect time to play with the sheep that we have in his crib... which I quickly took out of his crib.  Such a happy boy though!

At his 6 month check up.  17.4 lbs and 27 1/2 in long!! My big preemie boy :)

He loves playing with Dixie.

This was a first.. and didn't last too long :/

So what's next...

MORE BABIES!!! Well not yet, but we know we want more.  If it was up to The Hubs he would have had me pregnant 3 months ago.  HELL NO. I would like to enjoy having my body to me for a bit longer.  I want to have hot sauce and not worry about heart burn in the middle of the night or a fussy baby.  I also want to loose some more weight before I get big again.  But my baby fever is getting hotter... Some friends of my had babies just recently and they are just so cute!! I miss Parker being that little and loving to snuggle.  Now... he fights snuggles unless it is bedtime.  So yes, we want more kids. I would love to have a spring time baby... obviously I know I can't control this.  But I know I would prefer not to have another winter baby.  Too much stress over others being sick, being cooped up in the house, longer nights... So because of this... it would be perfect if a new baby was born in say... April.  So I guess what I'm saying is stayed tuned....?  For now though I am in love with my little family and adore my son so much.
