Parker's First Food

Parker had his 6 month appointment today. He is doing very well- 25 3/4 inches (20th percentile), 16 lb, 5 oz (20th percentile), and 44.4 cm for head circumference (60th percentile). He did very well for his 3 shots- he didn't cry for the first one, but did for the next two. He quickly calmed down from the shots.

After we ate supper tonight, we gave Parker his first taste of "real" food. He had rice cereal and he thought it was delicious. He ate all of it and seemed to know exactly what to do with the spoon and opening his mouth for bites. He was very happy after he finished eating and was all smiles. I have a feeling he'll be happy to progress to foods with a bit more flavor.

Here are a few pictures of the big event (along with one of Oliver- he doesn't like to not get his picture taken when the camera is out). Also, here is a link to a video of Parker's first food experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us0qjamHTVM
