Happy Birthday Parker!

Parker just loves Chuck E Cheese! He had been there a couple of times with his cousins and was excited when we told him we were going there for his birthday. (We decided to celebrate his birthday before our new little one came, so it wouldn't get overlooked. His birthday is actually on the 20th.) He had a lot of fun running around and collecting tickets. I think his favorite game was 'skee ball.' After a fun night of games and pizza, we all (Jill and Ron Fam and Kim and Lisa) went to Kim's house for cupcakes, ice cream and presents. Two years old is such a fun age! Parker had so much fun opening the presents and even commented on them as he opened them. He got a little blue striped collared shirt and the first thing he said when he saw it was "Daddy's!" I guess he thought it looked like one of Dad's shirts (which it does). He giggled when he opened his new stuffed dog from Kim. His favorite present had to be the little microwave that Jill and Family got for him. He couldn't stop 'cooking' things.

Parker also got to have another birthday celebration on his actual birthday, when my parents were in town. I can't believe how old he is! He stayed with Jill while we were in the hospital and when he came to see Autumn for the first time, he seemed so old. He was repeating everything anyone said and just looked and sounded so grown up.
