Big girl

Parker is growing up so fast! She is saying so many colors and can at least correctly point to the ones she doesn’t say yet. She says more and more words every day. Her favorite color is blue and if we let her choose her own clothes she will always pick out something blue. She has finally started to put 2 words together and say a “sentence.” She has sort of done it in the past week, but was very slow and hesitant. Then today I took her to see the neighbor and when we walked out she confidently said “bye bye, daddy!” It was so cute. She also went potty on her little potty today!! Yesterday we converted her crib to a big girl bed. She did pretty well with it. First she thought it was pretty funny that she could get into bed all by herself. She slept until 5:30 this morning without waking up so that was better than I was expecting. During the day she is always working on some sort of project and it’s so funny to watch her work. She is so focused and it’s always hard to figure out exactly what she is trying to accomplish.
These pictures are from the last few days of my parent’s visit, Parker playing around a lot showing some of her new favorite games (like hiding in Jared’s shirt and hanging out in a diaper box), a little get-together we had, Grandma Jessop and Uncle Justin’s visit, and some other randoms. She is really starting to enjoy looking at pictures and videos on cameras and playing games on phones and iPods. I can already tell she is going to know a lot more about technology than us very soon! There are some cute ones of her watching Grandpa Schwartz fixing a chair and then finally going over to help. There are also some really cute ones of her and Uncle Justin looking at eachother on the couch. She has started to really like wearing my shirts that she normally just sleeps with like a stuffed animal. She looks so funny when she has them on.

The first 2 albums are our cameras and then the 3rd is from my parents. The videos are in the same order (although I’m sure it’s too hard to tell which is which)
