February - 2nd half

The second half of February involved lots of fun activity, indoor time, and some fun changes.  The biggest change was the boys starting a new part-time daycare.  With mom going back to work, we needed some help watching the kids.  So they are at a daycare across the street from mom's office a few days a week (they are still at Smyrna First on their normal schedule as well).

Parker
Parker is definitely growing up.  He will respond to requests accurately like taking a bowl to mom/dad, finding the cat or putting away his toys.  He has started being able to recognize animals by their sound.  And occasionally when you give him something he will say "Thank You" (or at least the general sounds).  He has also decided that he no longer needs a high chair.  He insists on eating all meals in a regular chair (which he must crawl in) next to his brother.

And on the humorous side of things.  Parker has developed a real interest in his male anatomy.  His latest trick when he's naked it to stand just in front of a chair push his hips out to make contact with the chair.  He thinks it is hilarious!

Here are some pictures of Parker

Carter
Carter is a ball on energy who never stops going!  He talks non-stop.  Lately his musical side has been coming out as he knows the words to almost every song on Toddler Radio.  And he is obsessed with singing the Ramblin Wreck song.

He is so funny because everything is very literal to him.  For example, at the zoo this week we were checking out the Komoto Dragon and he started walking towards the window where Carter was standing.  Dad told Carter that the dragon was coming to eat him because he tasted like chicken.  Carter replied, I'm not chicken I'm Carter.  He got a huge laugh out of some other visitors which he loved.

Activities
Here are some pictures from various activities over the past few weeks.  The boys went to a birthday party at Catch Air.

Parker LOVES bubbles lately
Getting in some Exercise
We took Carter to the circus for the first time.  Parker stayed home with Mimi so it was a special treat to hang out with just our little guy.

Pops and Emme came over for a visit and the boys had a blast.
