Fun times with grandparents and friends

It’s been a great couple of weeks with Parker. As usual, she is doing more and more every day. She is constantly trying to repeat everything we say and is doing a really good job! She is getting better at spoon-feeding herself and has now been using a regular cup (in addition to her sippy cup). She still loves to read all the time. We had our first parent-teacher conference and her teacher had only great things to say. She said Parker is a very easy kid to have in the class and is very easy-going. She is “motherly” and brings toys to her friends when they cry or gives them hugs. Sounds like she’s doing great:) Unfortunately we found out at her 15 month check up that she has her first ear infection. I’m happy we made it this long without one, but the first one is still hard.
Grammy and grandpa Schwartz came to visit when Jared went up to Michigan. We had a great time with them! Parker loved having them around and warmed right up to them, even though she hadn’t seen them since Christmas. There are some pictures of Parker having fun with them and opening her Easter gift from them. She wore her Tigers shirt on opening day even though she couldn’t be up there in Detroit with Jared.
There are also pictures from a Spring Brunch we went to at a friend’s house. It was nice to see everyone from the old playgroup again and for Parker to see her old friends.
Yesterday was beautiful and we went up to Birkdale to walk around. We ended up seeing Parker’s best friend from school, Julianna, so I tried to get some pictures of the 2 of them playing together. Parker was kind of off in her own world and Julianna followed her around a little bit. Not much playing. They were very cute, though.
Here are the videos and pictures from the last 2 weeks:
