Parker Lawson » About Me

5 Years

parker — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:27:33 +0000

Age: 5 years
Height: inches
Weight: 39 pounds
Nicknames: Buddy, Parks
Likes: I love to play video games, especially Donkey Kong and Mario games. My favorite TV shows are Johnny Test, Magic School Bus, Wipeout, Good Luck Charlie, and Sid The Science Kid. I like diving to the bottom at Mema’s pool and going to the Children’s Museum to see the glass making and the dinosaurs. I discovered that I like to eat shrimp, plain pasta, broccoli, and steak. I love Snakey, my dinosaur.
Dislikes: Though I like lots of Super Heroes, I don’t like watching the movies or TV shows. I don’t like shopping at stores, unless it is a toy store. I don’t like eating apple sauce.
Notes: I no longer wear night time unders to bed because I’m a big boy. I’m getting pretty good on my scooter and bike, but not quite ready for the training wheels to come off. I can swing in a swing all by myself. I still sneak in to Mommy and Daddy’s room at night and like to sleep on their floor. I wear size 5T, size 11 shoes.

4 Years

parker — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:30:12 +0000

Age: 4 years
Height: inches
Weight: pounds
Nicknames: Doofy Head, Bud, Torpedo
Likes: I love swimming at Mema’s pool (and learned how to swim without my floaties!), all sorts of Super Heroes, Pirates, riding bikes, running around naked, stopping at the gas station in the morning to get coffee with Daddy or on weekends to get a Slushy (frezzy drink), playing games on the iPhone, iPad, or Wii, slumber parties in Momma’s bedroom, talking about “the falls,” being outside in the garden with Momma, Miss Rhonda, fast pants, quoting movie lines
Dislikes: Taking a bath (until I’m in there…then I don’t want to get out), cleaning up, eating lunch at school, car washes, having no snacks on hand
Notes: Since my 3rd birthday, I’ve added another international stamp to my passport…Canada! We went to Niagara Falls and Toronto last Fall Break. Other travels include another visit to awesome Ft. Myers & Orlando. We also got a membership to the Children’s Museum exactly one year ago and have really gotten our money’s worth! I have a new cousin, Baby Mitchell! He is a boy like me. I love doing anything outside…I’ve taken to playing baseball and riding my bike/scooter, but will even settle for messing around in Momma’s garden. I am now wearing 4T and size 9 or 10 shoes.

3 Years

parker — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:21:42 +0000

Age: 3 years
Height: 37 inches
Weight: 31 pounds
Nicknames: Dude, Dude Parker, Batman, Buddy Boy
Likes: I love both of my train sets, my big boy bed, dinosaurs (especially big ones that roar really loud), peeing outside, mooching everyone’s drinks and food, playing outside, watching TV and hanging out in Momma’s bed, spikey hair, chocolate milk, going potty in the big potty, bubbles, checking the pumpkins and watering the plants, kicking like Batman.
Dislikes: Kitty cat, being dropped off at school, eating my own food, any hat other than my Colts hat, sharing
Notes: I’m a pretty big boy…I have a big bed and I go in the potty. I wear size 3T and a 9 in shoes! I also had my first dentist appointment this year and got a bike for Christmas. I’m now an international travel having added Cozumel, Mexico to our map of destinations. I also visited Chicago for the first time and we made a couple of trips to Cincinnati. I can spell my name most of the time and I’m pretty good at all of my colors and shapes except for confusing purple and pink sometimes. I like to sing all of Una’s silly songs that she is learning in school and at Summer Camp. I like to dress myself and get my own shoes on (as best that I can). Mommy things I have a pretty good throwing arm and I love to bounce and jump around…I’m a boy!

2 years

parker — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:32:57 +0000

Age: 2 years
Height: 35 1/2 inches
Weight: 27 pounds 2 oz
Nicknames: Mr. Man, Buddy, Moochie
Likes: Outdide (outside), still love swimming in the pool (and now I jump in), Choo Choos, helicopters, airplanes (which I call Helicopters), and any sort of big truck, Mema’s fish pond (I call fish “lello”), brushing my teeth, books (finally!) and puzzles, hopping and jumping everywhere, bath time, touching everything in a store, Elmo, balls
Dislikes: I’m pretty picky about food…I don’t like trying new things. I still hate veggies, except for carrots. Being dropped off at school in the morning stinks.
Notes: I’m wearing 18 month/2T clothes and size 7 shoes…I’m getting big! I only have my binky at nap time. I got tubes in my ears in January to fix all of those nasty ear infection problems. I’ve moved up to the toddler room at school and sleep on a mat during nap time (no more crib!). The fish in Mema’s pond bit my toe, so whenever I’m at their house I point to the pond and yell “Lellow, toe!” (fish, toe). I’m learning my ABCs and counting to ten…I don’t quite have it down solo yet but I’ll sing along as best I can with other people. We’re also working on the potty and I get M&M treats if I go! I have to sit in Time Out if I’m in trouble and I get a big pouty face. I point out every bug and creppy crawley I see and call them all “Ant!”. Mommy thinks I have the most stinkiest feet of any little man ever. In the last year, I’ve been to St. Louis, Florida (again), and St. Joe Michigan. I’m now saying 2-3 word phrases

1 year

parker — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 02:53:20 +0000

Age: 1 year
Height: 30 inches
Weight: 21 pounds 7 oz
Nicknames: Parker-Parks, Little Man, Fat Head
Likes: Watching videos in the car, playtime upstairs after school, swimming in Mema’s pool (as long as I don’t have to be in a vest), animals (like the ones at the fair…and kitty!), putting things in and out of containers, sleeping, laughing, eating everything in sight and nonstop including Nutrigrain bars.
Dislikes: Not having more food, getting instructions or hearing “No!”, real veggies, books or reading.
Notes: No more bottle…it’s all sippy cup for me. I still only have two teeth, but that doesn’t stop me from eating like a horse. I’ve had some recurring ear infections, but my tummy is better and I don’t throw up anymore. I wear 12 to 18 month clothes and 3 shoe. Crawling is still my favorite mode of transportation, but I’m getting braver when letting go of things I’ve pulled up on. I know where my head is and like to put random objects atop it. I can clap, wave, high-five, sometimes sign for “more”. I can click my tongue and make sounds for a bear (grrrrr) and kitty (mmmmaaaaaa), and can say Uh Oh (ut ut), but my favorite is to chant “duck-a-duck-a-duck-a”.

10 months

parker — Sat, 26 May 2007 21:21:07 +0000

Age: 10 months
Height: 29.75 inches
Weight: 19 pounds 5 oz
Nicknames:
Likes: Crawling all over (especially chasing Kitty and Big Sis), laughing at silly faces, feeding myself (especially Puffs), playing upstairs in the loft with balloons, bath time in my seat.
Dislikes: Being hungry or tired, having my nose wiped, sitting still, sippy cup, when I can’t reach or do something myself.
Notes: I’m not spitting up nearly as much as I used to. I’m a crawling machine and am working on pulling up on stuff. I like to eat Stage 3 food…it makes me feel big. I still like my bottle more than my sippy cup, but I’m getting better. I got to celebrate my 8th monthaversary at Disney! I’m working on waving, but I’d rather flap my hand at my mouth or pound the table. I love swinging…I could sit there and chill all day.

6 Months

parker — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:56:04 +0000

Age: 6 months
Height: 28.5 inches
Weight: 17 pounds 3 oz
Nicknames: Buddy Boy, Russ
Likes: Sitting up, smiling, people talking to me, putting everything in my mouth, loud noises and people squeaking at me, whatever my sister is doing, watching Baby Einstein.
Dislikes: When Mommy leaves the room, peas, waiting for my bottle.
Notes: I’m rolling back and forth and I sit up really well on my own. I sit in a high chair at home and when we go out to restaurants. I’m still spitting up quite a bit. I like the ladies at my daycare and I smile and wiggle when I see them in the morning. My eyes are still blue…they haven’t changed, and I don’t have any teeth yet. I’ve had RSV, bronchitis, and two ear infections (its been a bad month or two for everyone!).

4 months

parker — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 00:10:22 +0000

Age: 4 months
Height: 26 inches
Weight: 16 pounds 4.5 oz
Nicknames: Parky, Nemo
Likes: Watching TV, stage 1 food, bath time, grabbing all of the new body parts I find (yes, even that)
Dislikes: Acid reflux medicine
Notes: I’m still a creature of habit and like swaddling, snuggling, and always being attached to someone. I still love to watch my big, funny sister sing and dance. The new things are really the carrots I mow down before bath time and my grand attempts at rolling over (I can’t quite make it, but I try pretty hard).

3 Months

Age: 3 months
Height:
Weight:
Nicknames: Meatball, Park, Fluffy Head, Chubby Cheeps
Likes: Faces, singing and music, standing up, snuggling, checking out everyone’s business.
Dislikes: Being alone, being bored, car rides.
Notes: Mommy and Daddy still work really hard to get me to smile and laugh because I’m so cute. I like to coo, squeak, and grunt back when you talk to me. I’m now taking 2 tbsp of rice cereal in every bottle because it helps things stay down in my growing belly. I’m sleeping really well, which makes everyone happy. I go down at about 7, then Daddy wakes me up for a bottle at 10 (which we’re thinking about dropping), and then I sleep until about 6. I started to go to day care because Mommy is back at work, so I come home pretty tired from all the activity there. I was a green and blue dinosaur for Halloween.

2 Months

parker — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:26:21 +0000

Age: 2 months
Height: 23 inches
Weight: 12 pounds 11 oz
Nicknames: Baby Pooch, Little man, Captain Crabbypants, Smiley
Likes: Being double swaddled really tight, my loud sound machine, playing binky bop, kicking and moving, smiling, the car toy with blinky lights that roars like a lion and sings songs, my star that has blinky lights and sings songs, my Big Sister Morgan that roars like a lion and has blinky eyes and sings songs.
Dislikes: Taking medicine, Momma picking my toenails, being strapped in to my car bucket, shots.
Notes: Iâ€™m taking medicine that helps my tummy feel better, and it has really started to help my mood and feedings.Â I really love to play and smile (I started smiling at about 5 weeks!).Â I can almost laugh, but it sounds more like a cough to everyone…which makes it funnier!Â I hit the bed at about 7 and Daddy feeds me my last bottle at 10, then I rack out for another 4-6 hours but I’ve been known to sleep for 8-10 hours on occasion.Â I’ve found my hands and I love to shove them in my mouth.Â I like to hold my head up and let it bob around while I take in the sights.Â I make the same poop face that my sister did.
