Photo Friday

We have a little musician on our hands!

Though based on all the banging around you do, I think your instrument of choice may be the drums...

Pumpkin Photo Shoot Take 2

You didn't really think that was all of the fall themed photos I took of Parker, did you? :) Sunday was a beautiful day so while we were spending some time in the backyard I couldn't resist pulling out the camera and a mini-pumpkin. Who can blame me when I have such a cute model? :)

Happy Fall!

Lately we are loving all of the pretty days, the changing leaves, and pumpkin everything. A few weekends ago we enjoyed all of these Fall things and took Parker to Gentry's Farm in Franklin. We picked a pumpkin and then came home for a little photo shoot where my big boy decided to sit up the whole time unsupported! Oh, and he decided it was a good time to start sticking out his tongue too. Good thing it's adorable. :)

This is the best brother/sister photo we got.

It's exhausting being a model!

Happy Half Birthday, Parker!

My baby boy is 6 months old. That is 1/2 a year. What? Still not sure how it's been 6 months, but I do know it's been the best 6 months ever!

At 6 months:
You weigh 15 pounds, 4.5 ounces and are 25.5 inches long. Both are in the 15th percentile. Your head is 16.95 in, which is the 25 percentile. You were struggling in the weight department (as in you hadn't gained any weight in a month and half) so we were ordered by your pediatrician to start formula. You packed on 2 pounds in 2 weeks by drinking 50 ounces/day (!) but you're evening out and slowing down just a little now, drinking closer to 35 ounces/day. You had your first ear infection, but you were only really fussy about it for one day. You are such a happy baby and so active. If you move half as much as you do now when you become mobile I am in trouble! You're still not the greatest sleeper, but you are improving. You're doing much better napping and at night you generally sleep from 7:30-10, 10:30-3, and 3:30-6ish. You've started sticking out your tongue, which I think is adorable. You've also started sitting up on your own! You are constantly drooling and everything you can grab goes straight into your mouth. I keep expecting to see a tooth pop through any day, but there are no signs of one yet. Speaking of grabbing, you reach for anything and everything in your proximity and you have such a strong grip. I'm surprised you haven't pulled out chunks of my hair yet (but am thankful you haven't!).

Here you are at 6 months:

October Instagrams

I've discovered Instagram and I'm addicted. It is so easy to snap a quick photo with my phone, choose a "filter" and click share. I'm way better about Instagram-ing than I am blogging lately, so follow me (rbcronin)!
