Parker is 2!!!

Parker is turning 2 this Saturday, but because of General Conference, we had his friend birthday party this past Saturday. It was a sports themed party, obviously. He had 8 friends over, so it got a little crazy, but we had fun.

This is what Parker has been up to lately:

• He sings his ABC and recognizes at least 8 letters (E, R, B, H, I, S, O, A).
• He can count to ten
• He has been going potty an average of 1 time a day
• He is loving and gives kisses and hugs freely
• He all of a sudden loves taking baths. He wants multiple ones a day.
• He loves, loves, loves to sing. His favorites are the Alphabet Song, Twinkle Twinkle (which he gets confused between the two songs), Once there was a snowman, and Old McDonald.
• He loves watching movies - I wish he didn't. His new favorite is Bolt.
• He loves stuffed animals. He sleeps with like 6 every night.
• He is starting to get pretty picky about what he eats
• He laughs LOUDLY especially at church during sacrament meeting
• I can't understand about 80% of what he is saying

For his party, I made a pinata shaped like a baseball. It took way too many hours, and my amazing husband helped me decorate it without even complaining.

• Parker is excited about his baseball pinata

  Can't have too many pictures of the pinata, can we?

  Parker was really happy about the cupcakes.
