Parker- The Life of the Party!

Oh Parker.  The title of the post says it all...."The Life of the Party!"  I'm not sure there are enough words to explain this little cutie!  He is stinkin' hilarious!  And mischievous, high energy, brave, daring, all boy, snugly, happy, a boundary pusher, and just all around fun to be with.  Our pediatrician one time said, "Parker is like a campfire.  I just find myself entranced watching him, like I can't take my eyes off of him!"  And answered by telling the doctor that right, we can't take our eyes off of him because who knows where he would go or what he would be in to!

Enough said.....
Parker does love to sit in laps and snuggle, but he doesn't sit still too long....unless he's sick.  While I feel bad for him, I just soak up these sweet moments!
No, he's not potty trained at two, but he sure thought it was fun to sit on the potty at the cabin!  Goof ball!
We found out at Parker's 18 month appointment that he couldn't see well (thanks for a new digital screening).  After meeting with a pediatric specialist, he's now sporting some cool glasses....when he'll keep them on!  We like to refer to him as "Harry Parker" when he's wearing the glasses. :)
Lovin' that shaggy, curly hair and the fact that he's a momma's boy!
Because his hair grown so fast and I don't know how to trim it without cutting off the curls, he gets to go to the "haircut store" often.  He loves it and the ladies love him!
Parker LOVES to be outside....winter, spring, summer, or fall!  We have to drag him inside!
Leave it to the third child to be the one to test all of the boundaries!  This was the result of him grabbing a hot pan right after we told him it was hot and no touch.  He handled it like a champ though and not anything that is possibly hot, Parker says, "No touch...hot, hot....owie!"
Sporting his cool hand wrap while keeping the blister clean and dry.
The family cabin....so much fun, so relaxing, and full of four-wheeling!  I love that this little man loves to ride on all the trails with his momma!  A boy after my own heart!
Again...need I say more?!  This was a camping weekend.  I turned around to see what Parker was up too, and this is what I found....using the air pump to pump up himself!  Never a dull moment!
And this is why he eats naked most of the time....unless we're in public. :)
My thrill seeker!  Riding his first "roller coaster" at the Bear Paw Festival.  I have no doubt this one will be riding all of the big coasters with me as soon as he's tall enough!
No, this was not his older brother and sister playing dress up.  Parker did this all by himself!  He found Payton's dress up tu-tu, put it on, and found me saying, "See Momma, look!"  He was so proud of himself.  And sadly, this happens at least once every week or so! :)

I'm so thankful we didn't stop with having two kids.  I'm so thankful God had another plan for us.  I can't imagine our lives without this little stinker in it!  He is so loved by everyone, especially his brother and sister.  It's amazing how much grace they give him!  Parker stands out in a crowd.  He's just naturally catches everyone's attention and he just goes with it.  God MUST have big plans for this boy one day....not sure what they will be....they will be BIG!
