Parker LOVES basketball. Everytime we go to my parent's house (where they have a sport court) he whines and begs to be outside on the court the entire time we are there. Usually Papa gives into the puppy dog face and takes him out. Also, when we are in the car, Parker can spot every basketball hoop we pass and says, "ba-ball, ba-ball!". Brett picked up this little basketball hoop from craigslist and Parker has enjoyed it. For some reason he thinks it's really fun to be in the cat stroller, so here he is doing two things he enjoys!

The other day, Parker and I were playing on the deck and I brought Reese out in her stroller to enjoy the sun. Parker wanted to get inside with her but I wouldn't let him, so this is what he did.
Our little basketball player!
Parker tripped while we were at my parent's house a couple days ago. When he fell, he hit the leg of their side table in the family room. He hit it so hard that he cracked the table! We were worried that he would need stitches but my Aunt Anne came over who is an ER nurse and helicopter flight nurse. She thought it was a clean line and they rarely put stitches on the face. My mom ran to get some medical supplies (and ice cream, now that's a grandma!) and we had him fixed up in no time.
Right after he hit the table, Parker was screaming and didn't want to be held but Brett fought against him so he could stop the bleeding and put ice on his face. Once we started cleaning and dressing his face though, he sat perfectly still and fought very hard to stifle his cries. He was a brave little boy! These pictures were taken the next day.
Lately we've been finding Parker putting blankets on his face while he sleeps. He always has big bird in bed with him and will hold or cuddle him, but this was pretty cute and worth the risk of taking a picture!
