Parker 2 years

On April 22nd, Parker turned 2. I can't believe its been 2 years already! Time really does go faster and faster. For his party we went to Wichita to celebrate with his Post cousins. We all went the zoo for the morning, including Baby Mallory. And then went back to Mom and Dad's for lunch and cake. We got him a Woody and Buzz cake which he thought was the best thing ever.
Parker is doing amazing things at 2. He knows all his colors, the basic shapes, he can count to 12, he knows the words to Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy spider, and he knows the ABC song. I made a list of word he knew at Christmas and stopped at 80 because I couldn't keep up. And now he is talking in full sentences.
Just after his birthday he started getting interested in his Letters. He knows P for Parker. And then he knows S,M,R,A and C but he knows whose letter then are (S for Grandpa Scott, M for Madison, R for Rick, A for Amy, C for Colin). The letters started because he has a Woody and Buzz blanket he sleeps with at night that Space Cowboyz and somehow we started talking about the letters in Space.
On a funny note, he can't say Isaac so he calls him Psychic. Parker likes to see Baby Mallory but he does not like it when Mommy holds her. He is still very attached to Mommy but is starting to wonder more. And he is still really shy when he first meets new people or someone he hasn't seen for a while. He is also wants to do everything himself, except go potty. He thinks Madison and Daddy are the funniest thing ever and has an awesome belly laugh. And he loves to be outside playing as much as his older sister does. And he is the best hugger :)
We are really enjoying watching this little boy grow.
