What The Heck.....Two Years?!

I LOVE my little/big boy! Parker turned two just a couple of days ago. I had to work on his birthday and that was kind of hard for me, but I spent as much time as I could with Parker as soon as I got home. We had a small birthday party for him (just my family). He loved every minute of the attention he received and Parker was spoiled rotten with gifts. His favorite gifts are Woody and 'Dinosaur'. Parker LOVED how his birthday cake was decorated, but had no interest at all in eating it.
Some things I want to remember:
- I'm pretty sure his favorite color is yellow... he says it for pretty much every color.
- Parker can count to 7.... seriously! Usually he just says 4, 5, 4, 5, over and over again, but the other day I swear I heard him count to 7!
- Parker LOVES Buzz, Woody, Rex, and Jessy from Toy Story.
- Parker can catch a ball, and he throws pretty well too!
- His favorite food is taquitos! He calls them "qui'yos", and loves to dip them in ranch and salsa verde.
- If Parker doesn't like something he's eating, he'll spit out the half-chewed food into his hand and try to hand it to us... it's very appetizing!
- Whenever daddy is outside weeding or doing other yard work, Parker loves to go out and help.
- Parker is so good at saying "thank-you" and "sorry" without even being prompted to do so. I love it!
- He loves his uncles, he calls out their names nice and loud at church when they're preparing the sacrament and it takes a bit of work for them not to smile too big in response as they're trying to be reverent.
- It's been very hard for Parker to leave both Steve and I lately, he breaks down and cries when he sees us walking out the door for work, or when we drop him off at nursery on Sundays. I wish I could be with him every minute of every day.
- Parker is very affectionate toward his little brother, he often kneels down beside Jaxon and kisses him on the forehead and cheeks.
- When Parker really likes something he's eating, he'll often try to share with Jaxon.
-This kid can talk! (He is like his daddy!) The other day he said, "Hi Buzz, I found you!" Unfortunately that is the only sentence I can remember right now......but seriously he talks and talks.
- Weight 27.5 pounds: 43rd percentile
- Height 37 inches: 96th percentile
- Parker was recently diagnosed with Pediatric Asthma, not fun. We usually don't see the symptoms unless he gets sick with a cold or something. Luckily it should go away by the time he is 6 years old.

I am sure there is so much more that I could put on here. This will do. :) I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing our family with Parker for two whole years so far. I look forward to the many years ahead that I have to love, teach and care for this sweet boy! I love you Parker Boy!
