Continuing on our flashback of Parker's first historic year (see post on July 6 on "Favorite Firsts - Nicknames") we turn to Parker's first fears. Though he is not afraid to fall out of a high chair or even fall off some steps every now and then, there are a few fear flaws that have been revealed:
Fear of Vacuum's. It's a good thing we don't do this too often. It makes for a good excuse anyway but you would think that a monster came alive when the vacuum is turned on.
Fear of Dogs that could eat him. He freezes the moment a dog even so much gets in his bubble and starts back tracking. I guess getting him a dog this year is out of the question.
Fear of pointy grass. This almost caused dad more fear than anything, worrying that golf, baseball, and anything grassy was out of the mix. These fears have since subsided but you would have thought that the grass were knives as he scrunched his legs into his chest any time grass attacked him.
Fear of lying on his stomach. Lets just say that he is a star gazer. The stomach is not his thing. Perhaps it is because he takes such great pride in it!
Fear of "momlessness". Mom has been there every waking and sleeping moment so it is no wonder that he goes into panic mode the minute mom is out of eye contact. Generous babysitters and family members are slowly eliminating this fear, though somehow it appears that he is going to be a mama's boy.
All in all though Parker has seemed to be fearless as he is always head-butting nearby walls and reaching over benches at church just to touch someone.

You should probably NEVER turn on the vacuum outside where a dog could get him while laying on his stomach alone. Just some parenting advice!
