All about Parker

I've been wanting to this for weeks, maybe even months and finally snuck in enough time to get the shots and post it on my blog.  It's called Sunday snapshot and this week I'm doing it on my 8 year old son Parkercenter>

Parker where do I start???  There are so many words that describe you funny, energetic, caring, smart, sneaky and athletic.   You are the meaning of "All BOY"   Always full of lots of energy, loves the outdoors and hunting for bugs, not afraid to jump in a mud puddle, and always on the go.

We thought you would never loose your two front teeth and then you lost them both at the same time.

Always giving 110% in every game you play even if they won't pass when your open

Those big brown eye and those silly faces you make!

My bald little boy who didn't get hair until he was two years oldYou were the chubbiest of all my babies

A lover of anything that swims in water.

My second baby boy and time seemed to fly by and the next thing we knew you were a year old.

 You were such a big brother when Chase was born and grew up over night.

And then you met your sister and you were so excited to see her and kept calling her Mei Mei over and over.

Parker you are  such a special boy that is loved beyond words.  You've taught us so much as parents and have brought so much love to our family.   LOVE YOU PARKER!

2 months anniversary!

2 months ago we met you for the first time in a crowded room in China.  You have blossomed into such a special little girl in our 2 months together.  You bring so much happiness and laughter to our family and we love you so much!  We look forward to the months ahead.

My New TOY!

We finally broke down and bought a new washer and dryer.  10 years and three kids later it was about time!

Playing with Playdooh is FUN!

I was feeling pretty brave and brought the playdooh out for Zoe and Chase to play with.  First she tried to eat it and then she made a mess, but she had fun doing it!

Shots & blood work.

Today Zoe had her second doctor's appointment she had to get four more shots. mainly since they weren't done in the right time frame in China and a couple she never recieved.  She also had to get blood work drawn, my poor little girl was so pitiful it broke my heart to see her so upset.  We have to go back in a month for another few shots and more blood work and an xray.   She's fast asleep right now, I'm hoping she feels better when she wakes up.

Having fun with hair!

Zoe brought me a rubber band this morning and wanted me to put it in her hair.  Her hair is finally long enough and she loved it!  She got a hold of the marker today and added some nice little art work to her arms that you can see in the pictures!  Also she had her Early Intervention appointment today.  I was a little disappointed I felt like they were unorganized and didn't know how to test her.  They had an Interpreter there but he mainly just played with her.  She was terrified of him at first when he started talking Mandarin.  She eventually warmed up to him and started playing with toys.  They ended up qualifying her mainly because of her ear deformity.  Someone will come to our house a few times a month and work with her, after she turns three she will be evaluated again and then placed in a once a week speech program.
