This, or some variation of this, is what happens when I enter Parkers room every morning. This is one reason I love him so much!

LOL...I'm with Ms Gail here Parker...HI right back! :D

I dunno Chris...for some reason I just love that face of the Ekkie lol.. I would love to be owned by one but my hands are full with my kids.

On the greeting part..as soon as I walk in the house from work every morning BB says HELLO and it is only at this time does he say this. Boggles my mind on how He knows when to say it.

Hahaha! I love that gruff voice he uses to say hi. And the casual, "Oh, I didn't see you there," tone. Love it!

Kentuckienne, occasion for a second bird! An ekkie perhaps :)

Stephen, Iā€™ll often get a very exhuberant ā€œHEY BUD!ā€ Iā€™ll see if I get that this morning :)

Morning Parker! You're a lucky man, Chris, can't think of a nicer way to start the day.

Parker could do some kind of voice overs with that voice lol. What a sweetie saying good morning to his daddy:D

The vocal flexibility he has is amazing. For one phrase heā€™s got a few different voices, both male and female sounding. ā€œHi budā€ has a sweet, saccharine, breathy sound, and a more manly excited version.

I actually caught a ā€œhey budā€ greeting this morning. Will post it soon.

Jim, Parker says thank you! Heā€™s fracking lazy, so I often say hes smart when he wants to be.

You're a lucky guy Chris! Parker sounds like such a sweetie, I'll look forward to hearing more from your little green boy! :)
