My baby is no longer a baby! Parker is growing up right before our eyes and acts like a two year old more and more every day. He is becoming so independent and doesn't seem to need our help as much these days. He is quite the little helper and is always willing to pitch in around the house, especially when it comes to vacuuming, unloading the dishwasher, and folding clothes. I love how we can tell him to go get a diaper, and he goes right over to the drawer, gets a diaper out, grabs the wipes, and then lays right down on the floor. I was so impressed the first time he went and got his own socks and shoes when he knew we were getting ready to go somewhere.
He dislikes having his teeth brushed (it's a fight everyday) but he is the easiest child to put to bed. After his bath and bed time stories, he picks up his Mickey, grabs the binky out of his bed, turns on his music, and wants lifted into his bed.
Parker loves to climb and will climb up on something every chance he gets. I have to take him off of our kitchen table multiple times a day. He loves climbing on the back of the couch so he can reach the light switches. It does come in handy though when I have my arms full and he can climb into his own car seat in the car. :)
He knows all of his body parts - head, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, tongue, ears, belly, arm, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes.
He is OBSESSED with the American flag and can spot one from a mile away. It doesn't matter where we are, someplace familiar, or somewhere new, he knows where they are. He even knows when a flag pole is empty, that there should be a flag on it. I have quickly learned how many flags are around. He has found them at parks, the grocery store, inside Sams, outside of Chick-fil-A, and hanging on people's houses. He was in heaven the week of the 4th of July!
He is wearing size 2T clothes and size 4 diapers.
