3!

How did this....

turn into this?

Parker turned 3 on September 17th!  

He has become very independent in everything he does. He recently surprised me by putting his own PJ's on with out help and got his shoes on and fastened today without help.  He loves his family and friends and (thankfully) still loves to cuddle.  He likes reading books, playing with cars, and has recently become interested in Batman, Superman, and Legos.  His favorite foods are macaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets.  He LOVES to tell stories.  I'm sure we will have many report cards that indicate he is "gifted" in socializing! :)  When Parker gets frustrated he puts his hands on his hips and says "I'm mad".  He likes to make silly faces with his daddy and wrestle with daddy.  He loves his brother and gives him kisses and hugs while saying "I love you so much".  He likes routine and predictability   He likes to keep his hands clean and doesn't like to paint with his fingers.  He has begun youth group at church and has learned Genesis 1 while participating in the whole church study of "The Story".  He likes to hear "Cow and Pig Stories" that mommy makes up, and enjoys spending time with his friends at Day Care. 

Our baby is becoming a big boy and it's sad, exciting, hopeful, challenging, and daily changing...and we LOVE every minute of it!

Parker:  We are so proud of what a big boy you are turning into and couldn't be happier to be your parents! We love you buddy!

Happy Belated Birthday!
