July 13th, 2009 we were blessed with another healthy baby boy.  The funny thing is I really thought he would be a girl, I kind of wanted him to be a girl since we had Foster, Katie and Theodore.  It would have been so nice and orderly…boy, girl, boy, girl. I know, I’m a dork, but I really like things that are orderly.  However, God’s idea of order is much different than mine and He knew best when he added Parker to our family.

He is the sweetest little guy. He loves to cuddle on my lap, especially right after he first wakes up in the morning or from his afternoon nap. He is starting to talk and loves his Thomas trains. Foster and Katie enjoy playing with and taking care of him, Theodore will play with him but being closer in age they tend to end up screaming over the same toys.  He has a fairly laid back personality and hasn’t struggled with moving to his “big boy” bed or with going to time-out for hitting or disobeying (so far).  This age to me is difficult because of the chasing but so wonderful because of the new things he does and says every day! One of Parker’s claims to fame at this point is that he got to turn 2 before the next baby came along! None of the other kids can say that!

Yesterday, we just celebrated small with Chick-fil-A, friends and at the splash pad. His family dinner, cake and presents are coming up – so some fun cake pics are on the way!
