Catching Up!

Cooper and Parker are doing great! It's amazing how fast they are growing up. Parker had his 15 month checkup a few weeks ago and weighed 21 lbs 14 ozs and was 32.5 inches tall. The doctor said he's in the 85th percentile on height and 10th on weight, which is totally confusing because all he does is eat! He still loves to be outside and absolutely loves animals. He gets very excited when he sees the ducks behind our house and all the dogs outside. His Aunt Jill and Uncle Brad recently got a little puppy and Parker is crazy about her and doesn't even mind her jumping all over him. He's talking a lot now, but we are not exactly sure about everything he's saying. He says many words like ball, duck, up, go and ipad (yes, thanks to Grammy...Parker has his own ipad now..which he's obsessed with). But most of all, he's really into reading lots of books.

Cooper is coming up on 3 1/2 years old and doesn't stop talking! Well occasionally, he will say "I'm not talking to you right now" and he does stay quiet for a few minutes. But he's such a great kid and so smart! Finally, he loves to play with his brother. But his favorite thing is playing with his friends. He's cute though, he thinks everyone is his friend. If we go to the park and there are kids there that he doesn't know, he still asks "can I go play with my friend's"?

About a month ago, we went to Disney World with Bob's dad and family. The kids loved seeing their cousins from Michigan & Arizona and Meme and Papa from Michigan. Despite the freezing weather in Orlando, we had a great time. It was Parker's first time at the parks and I think his favorite was the night parade at Magic Kingdom!
