Parker's 2-Year Snapshot

Terrible two's? Not terrible yet, but we can see that Parker knows how to let us know if there's something he doesn't like! Luckily, he's pretty good at following directions. At his 2-year doctor appointment, we found that he is in the 75th percentile for weight (30 pounds) and the 75th percentile for height (35.5 inches). His eating habits, mostly snacking all day, is perfectly normal at this age. He's actually started to eat a lot more foods, and pizza is one of his favorite. Although he had no vaccines at this doctor visit, he still cried and cried when the doctor examined him. He really doesn't like unfamiliar people to mess with him! The doctor is not concerned about Parker not saying many recognizable words and thinks that within 6 months he'll be talking in full sentences. The important thing is that Parker understands what we're saying to him.

Parker loves bath time and when it's time to go bye-bye. He also loves to wave bye-bye to anyone who is leaving, and he's now pretty good at giving people kisses and hugs. We often find him barefoot - he's not too fond of socks even when his feet are chilly. Putting puzzles together and looking at books are two of his favorite activities. He also loves to sing and we typically hear him singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and We Are Young in his crib at bedtime.

Here are a few recent and really cute photos of Parker:

This seems like a cozy spot for a snack and tv time
