"The one thing you can bet your paycheck on is the firstborn and second-born in any given family are going to be different." -Dr. Kevin Leman, psychologist
I think we are already seeing evidence of this in our two boys. Camden was an easy baby, very content and very happy. Parker is an easy baby, very content and very happy, but he is feisty! His little personality is really starting to shine through and I love it! Parker is a grabber! He tries to grab everything...toys, faces, plates, blankets, sunglasses, etc. You name it, he's reaching for it! While feeding him, Parker is trying to pull off his bib, bats at the spoon, attempts to eat the high chair tray, does raspberries while food is in mouth. Feisty, I tell ya! He is also a mover! We could lay Camden down (even after he could roll) and he would just hang out. Parker is all over the place. The other day I put him down in the middle of the floor and ran upstairs. Jonathan went to check on him and he was against the wall under his swing. We used to put Camden on his changing table and walk all around the room, even out of the room (I know, dangerous). Jonathan's mom was visiting and I clearly remember her saying, "Be careful! He can roll right off of there!" He didn't and never tried. Her words definitely apply to Parker, I turn around for half a second to throw Parker's clothes in the hamper and he's practically off the table. Parker is working on sitting up (at the tripod/fold in half stage), he is obsessed with tags, loves books (and tries to eat them), is fascinated with fans and shadows, sleeps on his belly and will drop any toy to play with a ball. He squeals and kicks when he's excited and is getting more into his activity center every day. He absolutely loves watching Camden do anything--dance, play the guitar, run around--and does big belly laughs when his big bro plays peek-a-boo with him. He is one ounce away from 20 pounds (90th percentile) and is 29 1/4 inches long (way off the charts). Parker's first tooth popped through on July 27th and he's working on another one right now. I cannot believe 6 months has gone by since this sweet boy joined our family. He is the perfect fit! We are so thankful God entrusted us with this little one.
