One of these pictures actually go back to Chanukah, but most are much more recent.

This is Parker after having received his new camera for his birthday. He’s taking a picture of a new train grandpa got for his layout. Parker loves to take pictures – he’s quite the expert at having you pose or say “cheese!”.

As I think I’ve mentioned before, one of the few non-PBS shows we sometimes watch is Ni Hao Kai Lan – and, Parker quite likes it. So, he got a couple of play sets from the line. Here is Parker and I playing with the house/fort thing.

This is Parker An inventing fun, new ways to sit “in” a chair, literally. He’s eating a carrot, and apparently comfortable. What you don’t see if that 15 minutes later he’s yelling, “daddy, the chair is eating me, help. I’m stuck!” in a semi-panicky voice that perfectly lets you know things have gone from fun to frightening.

Parker with another one of his famous faces that he’s been practicing a lot lately, with no encouragement from me, of course!

This is Parker An this past weekend with a fully decked out outfit. Let’s see, we have the pajamas, the construction hat, sunglasses, a drill, and all while building a parking garage and populating it with matchbox cars. you can see the trail of other toys scattered all over, too – fun times!
