Parker is 2!

It has been a quick and busy 6 months and an even quicker but very enjoyable 2 years with the mini one!  He has finished his first semester of preschool and ow loves going every day!  He is slow to warm, even more than Hayden, but now he is getting more comfortable at a faster rate with new things.  He still loves playing outside any chance he gets.  He is also becoming a chatter box...putting several words together although not always clear to an outsider!  He caught back up, thankfully, on the growth chart and is back above the 50% in the weight area.  This is a good feat considering he has been battling chronic sinus infections since early fall!   

Stats: 27 lbs. 4 oz. (55%) 35.25 in. (70%)

A few new facts:
- jumps with both feet off the ground
