Keeping Up With Parker

Parker is so much fun.  He is very obedient (most of the time) and has a lot of funny things to say.  Everyday when we leave the apartment he says "Bye-bye truck, See ya later."  He loves to count  everything, and today at track practice he ran up to an arrow on the football field and said "triangle."  I about fell over because I had no idea he knew that shape, and the fact that he was able to find one in the world on his own is a major connection!

He has taken an interest in blankies lately, and sometimes he sleeps with four of them.  He also sleeps with two tractors, two books, a glow worm and a little guy that says a prayer.  Then he curls up in a ball in the corner of the crib.  You'd think all of these things in his crib would be uncomfortable and keep him from sleeping, but he usually talks for a few minutes and goes right to sleep.  (And just for clarification, he's not attached to any of them.  When we go places, we don't bring any of them).

He likes to sing "Rat-a-tat-tat," and when we get in the car he will usually say "Listen Veggie Tales?"  He's getting very good at remembering to say "Please," and "Thank You," and he can say his name, as well as all of his cousins, aunts, and uncles.  Oh! I almost forgot.  If you ask him a question, he will say "yup," and nod his head or "nope."  Super adodrable!

He likes his belly button a lot, but can't really see it.

 Where is that button?

      Ahh..got it!
