Happy Birthday Jules!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! 
Walker took his first ride in Bob over the weekend. He is loving his new "ride". Since he can hold his head up now he doesn't have to use the car seat/stroller. He is finally able to see somebody else besides Mommy's face:) He must be thrilled! He is able to look out and see the world. The Bob does make him look so tiny, but not for long. During our walk today he chatted most of the way. He is really into telling us all about his day. Now that he is cooing his little personality is really showing. He is sooooo happy! Walker wanted to especially thank his Uncle Doug and Aunt Patsy for his Bob. We are really enjoying it!
My has Walker had a very busy weekend. Let me tell you, Patrick and I are so proud of him. He was such a trooper this weekend. He totally went with the flow and loved being passed around to eveyone. On Saturday, Walker attended his very first tailgate party and CCU football game. We had so much fun with him. He was passed around the suite and was a huge hit with all the ladies. He even took a nap during the fireworks show at halftime:) He is learning to flirt and is so curious when we are around a larger group. I thought he was getting hungry after his nap so I tried to give him a bottle. He was definitely more interested in looking around, talking and smiling than eating. Since when does he ever turn down a chance to eat!! This game will be one of very many Walker will attend. He will have his choice of weekend sporting events his entire life. We did not get a picture with Daddy, because he was busy socializing...maybe next game!
Happy 3 months old Walker Leigh Ransdell! Boy have you changed so quickly and growing so fast. Your little personality has taken off! I have now figured out how to make you giggle. It is the sweetest sound, it actually brought tears in my eyes. The first time he giggled I got so excited and laughed so loud I scared him. I have noticed Walker prefers to stand stiff legged rather than sit most of the time. Mama P bought him a jumperoo today and he loves it. His toes are almost touching the floor, but not yet. He is going to take off when those feet finally touch the floor. He started grabbing for his froggy and ducky attached to his car seat last week. Almost every time we are in the car his little hands go to town playing with them. Patrick and I have noticed that most of his movement is coming from his left hand. Only time will tell if he will be a left handed pitcher. Patrick says he will be the happiest dad on the planet if Waker is left handed. He has started to recogonize me when I pick him up from school. Most everyday when he hears my voice he gets the biggest smile on his face. Mama P was amazed tonight that we can put Walker down for bed time and he falls right to sleep. All he needs is his humidifier and his sound machine and he is sound asleep. One last thing that I hope he grows out of SOON and I call it "Walkers Rut". Walker absolutely hates the car seat. He never fails to cry or to voice his opinion on my driving. I haven't figured out if he truly hates the car seat or if he is just hot. I guess we will wait and see once it gets a little cooler.
Thank you to Aunt Elaine and Uncle Harry for coming over to see me and taking good care of me while mommy and daddy were at the wedding. I had so much fun with you and can't wait to see you again soon. Aunt Elaine fed me and got me dressed in my cute outfit to meet all of mommy and daddys college friends!!
On Saturday night we all attended Jerry and Katie's wedding. Jerry and Katie are two very special people in our lives and we were so excited for Walker to meet them. Walker also met Baby Ty Fox. Ty is only a few days older than Walker, but Walker is by far twice his size:) Walker and Ty talked for a while at the reception and they both have decided to meet at WKU in 2030 and play baseball just like their daddy's. Walker at second base and Ty in the outfield. We were so glad all of our very special college friends finally got to meet Walker!!! Jules and Pops took Walker back to Moke and Becks, so Mommy and Daddy could have a little "party time" with their friends. Here are a few pictures from Jerry and Katies reception. Walker did not make it into any of the pictures because he was literally being carried around the entire reception meeting everyone. He was a huge hit!!
On Sunday night Jules and Pops invited friends over for dinner out on the patio. It was so nice to see everyone. Thank you to all for coming over and sharing such a special time with us. Walker got to meet two very special people in my life. Two very special friends who have made me the mom I am today. Thank you to Aunt Emily and Aunt Suzanne for coming over to meet me!!
