Parker turned 6 months on September 17th. I cannot believe he has been a part of our family for half of a year already!!! I know it's said ALL the time, but time goes by SO fast!!!!!! He weighed in at 20lbs and was 27 3/4 inches at his checkup. Maybe one of these days he will slow down a little. :) He was at the gastroenterologist for his reflux checkup too and they unfortunately upped his meds since he grew so much and the symptoms are still bothering him (and frustrating mom and dad). Our carpet is taking a BEATING. Not sure how much spit up one area rug can take. We get lucky once in a while and he spits up on the hardwood floor! Outfit after outfit, bib after bib, and one load of laundry after another.... I was just thinking about how expensive acid reflux can be. On a more positive note, they think he will be able to cut back if not get rid of his meds at around 9 months. His "flapper" to his stomach should close up and then he will be able to keep food down better. We can only hope this is the case. Despite all of this, he is such a happy baby!!
He is now crawling all over the place, racing across the floor to get Peyton's toys. So far, Peyton doesn't seem to mind and in fact thinks it's funny. We'll see how long that lasts!
