Activity Days - And Parker's Appt.

Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday I get together with the 8 and 9 year old girls from our ward for an activity up at the church. Greg and Parker usually come along as well just to get out of the house for awhile. This is a picture of Parker just before a HUGE thunderstorm came rolling in! It was a perfectly nice day and I had no idea that an hour later, we were going to be pelted with huge raindrops. 

Parker had his two-year old appointment at the doctor's office yesterday. Well, last time he went to the doctor he was 15 months old so let's just say he didn't remember anything about it. I told him he was going to get a shot and as we were walking up to the office he kept saying, "Shot! Shot!" I don't think he realized that shots weren't very fun. Well... he did great! They pricked his finger to take some blood and they gave him a shot in his leg. He literally watched the lady take blood from his finger without making a face and the only reaction from the shot was his eyes widening just a little bit. No tears or anything. What a tough guy! Alright, here are his stats:
Weight - 31.3 lbs (75th percentile)
Height - 34 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

and the infamous Head Circumference.....
20 1/4 inches (95th percentile)!!!!!!!!!

Well... he still has Stauffer in him, that's for sure! :)

He's getting so big. And what a great kid for being so brave. Audree sort of did the same thing. Except she told the nurse this in a calm but forceful voice, "OUCH that hurts....hey that's not very nice!" Kids are so cute sometimes, I think it took the nurse by surprise too. :)

Well Parker has one up on his uncles. They all passed out when they had their shots and they were adults.
Wait, I have the same sized head I had when I was a sophomore in high school. It is just all the weight I have gained the fat is starting to puff out. In my head and face. :)
