Late March

Parker (16 months)
Parker has a new favorite activities lately.  He adores reading books and talking.  The talking is really babbling but he makes all sorts of sounds and has a few new "words" each week.  His favorite words are animal sounds - woof, neigh, quack, moo, meow, etc.

Here are a few pictures of the little guy...

Never leave home without your blanket cape!

Snack time on the couch.  Now that he can climb on it, he loves to be up on it.

Tickle Monster Attack!

Riding in the wagon around the house

The wagon is a close second to P's favorite snack location

P is quite adventurous these days - he loves to play in crazy places like the dog crate

Carter (2 years, 10 months)
Carter is starting to hit a new phase.  He asks "Why" about everything and his favorite words seem to be "No" and "Never".  He has his moments of terrible 2 and terrific 2!

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks...

Memorized by the TV in the car - a very rare treat for good behavior

Brother Pictures

As Parker is getting older, the boys are able to play together more frequently.  

They both love nightly dance parties and playing with musical instruments.  

Outings

We typically have at least one fun family outing each weekend.  Here are pictures from a recent trip to the Children's Museum and the Zoo.

Carter was really into the show at the museum   He volunteered to answer all the questions (very politely by raising his hand) and he even got chosen to help demonstrate the 5 senses at the end.

What do you hear things with?

Other than that, the boys ran through every inch of the place 2 or 3 times!

Driving the Tractor

We checked out the Bird show at the zoo.  Parker loved everything and kept trying to pet the birds that were on the ground.  But their favorite part was probably the playground or Merry-go-round.

Ready for the ride to start!
