Parker's Two

Wow! - I can't believe our little boy is officially two-years old now! He had a great birthday party and got lots of wonderful gifts. He's really enjoyed playing with all of the new stuff! We had his 2-yr checkup at the pediatrician's office...I can't believe that he doesn't go back for a checkup now until he's THREE!


Flashback: Parker at birth

And, today

More for my record - here are his current stats:

26 lbs (25%)
34" height (50%)

Vocabulary - short sentences (Where mommy go?, I want milk); more words than I can count - he can repeat almost any word in English and some in Spanish and Chinese that he picks up from television. :) He also remembers and understands associations between words and actions/objects. He will perform tasks when asked - go get your shoes, etc. He is disciplined with timeout (now 2 minutes long) and understands that is his consequence for bad behavior. He can walk, run and jump (although not gracefully) and climbs. He's not afraid of anything, which scares us more than it does him. He puts together puzzles and flips through books. We're working on identifying colors correctly - he knows that green, blue, red, etc are colors, but doesn't always match them up correctly. We're also working on shapes, letters and numbers. His favorite toys are his basketball hoop/basketball, tricycle, grill, train table and tools. His favorite cartoons are Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Elmo and Yo Gabba Gabba. I'm sure I've missed something. :)
