Parker turned 2! We had such a fun day celebrating him! Parker loves all things construction, as we've learned with the ongoing gym project in the backyard. So we made his two favorites- construction and chocolate.
Parker is the perfect caboose to our family. He is full of life and energy. He brings us so much joy and is constantly making us laugh. He loves his brothers, books, music, chocolate, construction, friends, and all things active. He loves jumping and wrestling with his brothers. Parker has the biggest grin and can bring a smile to anyone's face. He is joy. He has LOTS of personality. He is stubborn, opinionated, and determined. He is a very driven little boy and we know he will do great things. We keep reminding ourselves that Parker has many wonderful "adult" qualities- they just aren't always so great as a toddler. He keeps us on our toes and we just love him so much. He loves to be apart of everything and is up for anything as long as he can do it with friends or family.
Parker loves babies and other children. He is super social and friendly. He loves his cousins Tony and Emma and loves to give them hugs. He also loves his friend Benji. One of his favorite signs is "friend." He gest so excited when he sees his friends and loves playdates.
His speech has exploded and is transitioning out of speech. We are so thrilled with the progress he has made. It has been so fun to hear him using so many new words.
We learned how obsessed Parker is with construction. It provides great entertainment- he will sit in front of the window all day and watch the machines at work. He's found his bedroom window gives him the best view. He will pull up a ladder or chair so he can climb up and watch. It's not uncommon for me to find him like this in front of the window.
Parker has recently become obsessed with books- which has done wonders for his speech! He never could sit still enough to enjoy books but now he wants to be read to all the time. His brothers are great sports.
Parker loves jackets, especially with pockets. He is very opinionated about what he is wearing. He will bring me clothes he wants and take off the clothes I've chosen. He always has interesting outfits.
He is loved by his older brothers and he adores them all. 
Carter has always been exceptionally good with Parker, even as a little baby. Parker loves to be with Carter and insists sitting by him most days at meals.
Parker loves all things outside.
Parker has a new love- the massage gun. He will bring it to people and insist they massage him. It's hilarious. We sure love this boy and his big heart and personality.
