Parker's HALF BIRTHDAY (March 24)

March 24, 2010.  The child is officially 6 months old.  Half a year already... 31 more of those and he will be driving.  Yikes!  Dada bought him another cool present, a car that converts into a push toy, and after constructing it, Parker has really enjoyed it!  He can get into things better when he's sitting on his car.  His fave thing to do is lean forward and play with the "hood" of the car.  The belly bar holds him up.  Daniel didn't even Need the directions! He is good at this "assembling" thing!

The day before his 1/2 birthday, I took Parker to the zoo with my friend Danielle and her babies.  It was a lot of fun!  The zoo in Kaiserslautern is impressive.  I think we might get season passes because Parker is sure to enjoy it a lot more when he is older.  They have camels and porcupines, a lion, a tiger, and chickens running wild. And monkeys! And a playground!

Parker had his 6-month check-up and is officially 17 pounds, 11 ounces.  He is 27.5''.. He is tall and handsome, just like his Daddy!  Daniel's mouth is healing from the wisdom teeth removal, and I must say I really enjoyed him on Percocet-- it makes him super focused and alert.  I expected him to be drowsy and miserable, but he was great! 

We are all well and blessed beyond measure.  And we are SUPER EXCITED to be visiting soon!
