Something New Everyday!

Parker is to the age where it just seems like he's doing something new every day! Yesterday he finally signed "more"! James was feeding Parker and said that while he was feeding him, Parker repeatedly signed "more" followed by "please" instead of just signing "please" for more food like he normally does! Of course yesterday Parker would only show off his new skill for daddy. Today however, I got to see Parker sign "more" while he was eating! I don't know how it has taken him so long to get that sign but at least he finally got it. Hopefully "thank you" will be the next one he picks up on. :) That's not the only new thing Parker did yesterday...he also said "train"!! We have a pretty nice home, but we unfortunately live close enough to a set of railroad tracks that we hear the train whistle when a train comes through town. Parker always stops what he's doing and you can tell her hears the whistle when the train goes by. We say "train" to him and talk about the train as it goes by. Anyway, yesterday one time when a train went by and James was with Parker, he said to me, "Parker heard the train whistle and he said what sounded like "train"!" Parker apparently really wanted to show off to daddy yesterday since he got to hear both of these firsts before I did...not fair! Anyway, later a train went by when I was with Parker and sure enough, as soon as he heard that whistle, he stopped what he was doing, looked out the window and said "train"! (Well it was more like "tra", but we could tell it was train he was saying). I LOVE watching him learn new things but he is growing up SOOOO fast!!
