Happy Birthday Parks!

Tomorrow is our little boys' 2nd birthday. I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. I feel like it was yesterday that we were meeting him for the first time and holding him in our arms. Now he is so big and definitely not a baby anymore. He is full blown BOY toddler. He is full of energy, love and plenty of attitude at times. He knows what he wants when he wants it and is more than capable of communicating with us. He makes us laugh and smile every day and definitely keeps our life interesting. He is the biggest joy in our life right now and we are so excited for him to be a big brother. He is so sweet with his little cousin Rivers that we have no worries when it comes to how he will adjust with a new baby/addition to our family. He has a vocabulary that at times amazes us...on several occasions we have looked at each other and said "When did he start saying that?" or "Where did he learn that?". We love and cherish every moment with him and are so excited to watch him grow and learn more.
Just some of his favorite things...Monster's Inc., Shrek (all 4 videos in order of course), Barney (which is pretty funny to think about), Yo Gabba Gabba, Ni Hao Kai Lan, Go Diego Go, and Dora the Explorer. He loves to color. He has learned some shapes and even colors from all the coloring we have done. He can even draw a square and a circle. He loves fruit and vegetables, FRUIT SNACKS and CHOCOLATE MILK. He would live on those last two things alone if we would let him. Trucks and cars are his favorite toys to play with, other than his bouncy balls. He loves to play catch and kick a ball around, like his auntie Heather plays soccer. :) He absolutely LOVES his daddy and tries to do things and be just like him. He of course loves mommy as well but when daddy is home he wants to be with him. He is the spitting image of Jay and Jay's dad Mark. It is unreal to look at photos of them and see how much he truly is a "WISNIEWSKI". Parks loves cameras and getting his picture taken. If he gets his hands on the camera he asks to have his picture taken, says "cheese" and then wants to see himself. He loves to watch video of himself as well. It is too cute. He loves to say prayers and sing church songs, but he is still not so fond of nursery (his church class) mommy has to be with him or he cries almost the whole time. We are going to try to have daddy take him from now on and see how he does. He also enjoys digging in the sand at the beach. I think those are his favorite outings we go on with daddy...they build sand castles and then Parks kicks them, hits them, or squashes them. He laughs and laughs and thinks it is so much fun.
Some cute phrases... "Swiper no swiping...OH MAN", "OKAY", "Mommy, Daddy touched my head", "Baby Colton comes out, almost done...hold him, give hugs and kisses", "Mommy/Daddy, you comes with me, please", "I'm reading stories", "Mommy, where's my color crayons", "Mommy/Daddy, stop that, don't touch me/leave my alone" and my personal favorite..."Mommy, I farting like Daddy" (LOL). He is ALL BOY and we couldn't love that about him more. Happy 2nd Birthday to our amazing little man!
Here is a look back...the day he was born are the first 2 photos, then 3 photos of him on his 1st birthday and our family, then the last 4 are of our family and him now a 2 year old. :) My how he has grown!
