Six being months and three being teeth, that is.
Today Parker celebrated his 6-month birthday by going to the doctor. Madeleine came with us and proved to be pretty good support staff. He continues to be a big strong baby but as his measurements were slightly off the curves from the previous months, we're scheduled to go back in six weeks for a follow-up. I've been slightly concerned about his head shape as he only rolls over to one side so we'll be working on getting him to roll to the other side. But besides the slight change in growth curve, he was declared 100% great. His third tooth (upper left when looking at him) broke through over the weekend. He hasn't bitten me much lately but he will shove anything and everything into his mouth to gnaw on. I'm guessing the tooth's partner won't be far behind.
Seeing as this is a little celebration of six months of having Parker in our life, here are two little videos of some of my favorite parts of this stage of babyhood. The second video is pretty lame and I should have edited it but that would have taken me too long so you'll just have to tolerate the horrible camera angles. The sounds Parker makes at the end of that video are just a snippet of the sounds he made for over an hour while I folded laundry. He was apparently making his word quota for the day as quickly as possible. As for the first video, I think it helps to show what a happy baby he has proven to be. Despite the chaos that having two little ones can be, we are daily grateful to have this little man be a part of our adventure.

those videos are so great! what a happy little parker :)
he looks and sounds like such a happy little guy! So what are his weight & height? Maggie looks like she's enjoying the laundry folding too :-)
For inquiring minds like Carol: 18lbs.2oz. and 27in.
each time i check your blog, i think more and more that parker looks like justin (especially in that happy video). is that something you hear a lot or is it only because i only know him by his pictures...? just curious :)
Our families think he looks a lot like Justin. I just realized a few days ago that he definitely has Justin's feet where the middle toe is actually the longest toe. Strange how genetics work.
