Everyday Parks seems to be saying more and more words, doing more and more for himself, and mimicking us at every moment - good, bad and ugly. Tonight at church dinner I asked Parks if he was ready to eat, and for the first time ever (that I have seen) he put his tiny balled fists up to his chin and said a melodic sentence that included the word food and them a proud "Amen". It was so unbelievably unexpected and cute. He never ceases to amaze me!
