Playing in the Rain

Inauguration

I had my TV on the inauguration all day long! The boys were awesome about it and really just played and never once asked me to change the channel so they could watch some of their shows. I enjoyed being able to keep it on all day! Becky came over and spent the afternoon with us and we made the boys a tent right in the middle of the room. I didn't care what I had to do but mama was watching the news! The house was a bit of a mess, but oh well. I love watching history being made! Fun day for all!

A couple of weeks ago we took Henry's crib down and got him a big boy bed. He had gotten to the point to where he was waking up in the middle of the night and just not sleeping well. You could hear his crib all through the night banging against the wall. So Eric and I thought that it was time to do the big switch. He has done pretty good but we still have some kinks that we are trying to get through. He was always a great sleeper and the easiest child to put down that I have ever seen! However, now he wants you to lay with him when he goes down. We are trying to work on that. He is 2 1/2 and we thought that it was just time. I just can't believe that my baby is not really a baby any longer. That just means that we need to have another right?

There's Nothing Better

Everyone loves Mommy's lap!

All Boy

Thank goodness he was in play clothes! Automatically when Henry goes outside he goes straight for the dirt!

Random pics

These are just some random pics. I just love the one of Henry and Georgia and how she is all layed out beside him. She is truly in whatever room we are in and usually trying to get close to someone to snuggle with. She is great! The pic of all the animals is what Henry does just about everyday, multiple times a day! His animals is by far his most favorite thing to play with! Too cute!

My Baby is 5!!!!!

Fifth Birthday

On December 30th my little baby, Walker turned 5. I cannot believe it! It really seems just like yesterday that he was born. He has truly added so much joy to our lives the past 5 years! I couldn't imagine life with out him. He is the sweetest little boy who has become very shy the older he gets! He gets that from his mommy! I am just going to tell you a little bit about him. He loves power rangers, spider-man, any super hero. He loves to play with his cousin JL and Mac. He has become such good friends with our neighbor's kids and loves to explore outside. This weekend they were trying to dig a hole to China. Who hasn't tried to do that as a kid? He is the best big brother and would do anything for Henry! He is such an intelligent little boy who thinks that he knows everything, and most of the time he is right. Eric and I just sit back and laugh at him. He has the brightest little face that I have ever seen! He has gorgeous eyes just like his daddy. I love how he takes up for his brother and cries when Henry gets in trouble. His favorite food is spaghetti o's and meatballs. He is very particular with the clothes that he wears. He has a head full of hair that is hard to maintain but one day when he is older he will be thankful for it! He loves to play sports and doesn't really have a favorite yet. I am sure that I could keep going on but I just wanted to hit a few highlights, especially for me to remember when I look back! These past 5 years have been the best years of our lives! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful son! We love you Walker!!!!!!!

His 5 year old check up stats:

Weight- 43.5 67%

Height- 45.5 91%

Walker grew a total of 4 inches in one year. The doctor couldn't believe it! She said that, that was a lot to grow in a year. No wonder he has been having growing pains. Also, I am taking him to a pediatric orthopedic tomorrow because he has had a little growth on the side of his foot. It appeared about a month ago and the doctor just wants to make sure that everything is ok. He had xrays done and nothing showed up but she still wants a specialist to take a look at it. So keep us in your prayers tomorrow.
