From mom or dad??

Here is Parker throwing some brand new tennis balls for my parent's dog, Duncan. He found the balls in their garage and then proceeded to dump them out and was throwing them somewhat haphazardly. (not unusual for him) My mom's a tennis player, so she likes to save the good tennis balls and not let the dog chew on them, or have her grandson lose them in the abyss of ivy. Makes sense. 

When Parker realized that nanna said she wanted to put some of the balls away, look what he did... ALL ON HIS OWN! no ideas from mom...

He threw his body over the balls as a shield from nanna taking them away! Where do they learn these things?? I had never seen him do this! nanna was nice and let him keep some that he was desperately trying to save. When I got home and told Brett about it, he thought Parker totalllllly get's it from me. And I think he get's it from Brett. I guess we'll never know! :)

so much fun

So much fun. Those are the 3 words I would use to describe this age right now. 2 years and 3 months old is so so fun. He's his own little person, but he's still learning and growing and learning so much from us. He's quite the character. 

He's a big "help" at Home Depot

 

Parker and 2 of his cousins are in a play group once a week, and they always seem to end up together. Whether it's snack time, or play time, they always seem to find each other, it's so cute!

He looks so grown up to me here- I can't believe how big he is. 

 He liked his new shirt I got for him. I guess he likes new clothes too, like mother like son ;)

 we are loving our trampoline! It was a steal on Craigslist! I love that it has a net to keep him safe, and it gives him some independence in the backyard, which he loves. Brett & him are constantly playing on it. I usually have to tell them 100 times to come in for dinner :)

 Some of Parker's favorite days are when we babysit these cute 6 year old twins. They play with him so well, and he feels like such a big boy.
