Parker: Year One

Here's Parker with a birthday card (from Uncle Al and Aunt Jean) and a birthday gift (from his pals Annabelle and Jack) that he received from members of the Massachusetts contingent. Yes, Parker turns ONE today! We're going to be doing a small family get-together on Saturday, which will probably be rained out. (I hear there's an 80% chance for rain and snow levels could reach 3000ft -- We live at 3500ft.) Well, keep your fingers crossed that the weather treats us kindly.

As for the first year in review for Parker, here are a few items of note:
- Remember when he would do those signature backbends? Well, now that he's crawling and **gasp** almost walking, he's given up on the move. I know. I know. "Oh mom! That's so three month's ago!" But I miss it nonetheless.
- Slowly we're transitioning to big people food and the sippy cup, which will mean Parker will have to end his current "signature move" -- when he's done with his bottle he likes to dramatically throw it to the ground. If he could, I'm sure he would holler "DONE!"
- Parker's still big on laughing and he finds the oddest things funny -- the dog shaking his head (it could be the funny sound that's created by his gums flapping back and forth), a fellow day care buddy banging on something, or someone going "Boo!"
- Fetch. (Need I say more?)

That's all that come to mind right now (as I type away a work). Feel free to comment with your own personal Parker moments.
