2 Years

Parker is two years old today... that's right TWO!!! How did this happen? It has gone by too fast.

I can't tell you what a blessing it is to have Parker in our lives, or how much we love him; but let me tell you we're so glad we get to have this little boy as part of our family.

We went to the Doctor this morning, and Parker is doing well.

He weighs 28 pounds (50th%)

He is 34-1/2 inches tall (Just over the 50th%)

Here's all about Parker at Two years old:

~Parker talks up a storm. He uses full sentences pretty often now and communicates so well, it makes my life easier.

~He is shy. He does well with kids whether he knows them or not; but new adults cause him to freeze up.

~He has begun to pretend things. He'll pretend to cook, or pretend to be a dog or a bird among other things.

~He will eat almost anything. But his favorites are yogurt, bananas, pancakes and raisins

~He still loves to read, and he is starting to memorize a lot of his books. For most of his books he can read along with me for at least part of the story.

~He loves to try to count things. He can sometimes count to ten, but half of the time he skips a number or two in the middle.

~He loves to help with anything and everything.
