Our Happy Boy!!

I have created a new slideshow with our most recent pictures taken from our photographer at the beach and at Brookgreen Gardens.  I could hardly wait to share them with all of you.  I will admit it was much harder this time around getting Walker to smile and sit still long enough for Carol to shoot him.  The most important thing I need to remember is we had a great time both days!!  We actually took the pictures in the gardens on Mother's Day.  What a very special day for me to always cherish and remember.  We hope each of you enjoy watching the slideshow and we hope it brings a smile to your day just like Walker brings a smile to our face everyday:):)

Carol met us for two different photo sessions.  Thank you Carol for being so good to us over the last year.  We are really going to miss you, but we wish you lots of luck on your new adventure. Don't fret you haven't seen the last of us yet.

HAPPY 11 MONTHS OLD WALKER LEIGH!!

Happy 11 Months Old Walker Leigh!!

I can hardly say 11 months old without thinking I can't believe we are almost there.  We will be celebrating your 1st birthday in exactly one month.  The birthday plans are full swing ahead. Invitations are being sent out this weekend for the birthday bash.  I can hardly wait to celebrate one of the most exciting and most anticipated days of my life.  I am so proud to be your mom Walker. You make me the most happiest mommy in the entire world. Your personality gets better and better everyday.  You are such a little busy body and so mischievous.  You continue to torture Ribbie and she continues to take it.  I'm not sure if she will for much longer.  Poor Ribbie has know idea those two little legs are getting ready to take off and chase her:)

You point at things now.  You are so fascinated with lights.  You constantly point up at the ceiling.  You can now crawl up the stairs, but forget you don't know how to come down the stairs once you're up.  We have to be very careful because you usually end of slamming your head on the hardwoods.  Your new nasty habit is playing in the toilet water.  I try to keep all three bathroom doors shut, but if theres a chance we left one open (daddy) you will be in it.  You LOVE to wash your hands and brush your teeth.  This past Saturday you finished your last class of swimming lessons.  We hope to pick up another class in the fall.  It is so much fun to watch your eyes light up when you're swimming in the pool. Daddy and I think you have put on a few pounds.  We are estimating you weigh about 25pds now.  Finally you have two teeth on the top. That makes a total of four.  You also have started sleeping on your knees in your crib. 

Just call him a tadpole learning how to blow bubbles in the water.  He loves to kick his legs and arms.  Doesn't really like to float on his back.  We also dunk him under the water. 

Thank you buddy for a wonderful first Mother's Day.  You and Daddy were so good to me.  We had a photo session at Brookgreen Gardens on Sunday morning.  After visiting with Carol, we decided to walk around.  We visited the zoo and walked on the trails.  You enjoyed seeing the horses, sheep, bulls and birds.  Mommy's not an outdoor type of girl, but I stuck it out for you buddy, especially when a snake falls from a tree right in front of me.  I hope you won't make me go camping with you one day.  After visiting the gardens we had dinner and relaxed together.  I will never forget my first Mother's Day.  I have the best little boy and a wonderful husband. Thanks guys....I love you!!!

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!

Brooke has done 11 months of blogging, so its only fitting that Dad takes a turn and gives Mommy a rest on Mother's Day.  Today we meet our wonderful photographer Carol for the second round of our latest photo shoot for Walker.  We decided that we would use Brookgreen Gardens in Pawley's Island as the backdrop.  We had a wonderful mother's day walking around the beautiful grounds and Walker got to see plenty of wildlife.    

Walker doesn't realize it yet but he is the luckiest kid in the whole world to have a mother that cares so much about him.  Over the last 11 months Brooke has done an amazing job - but i don't have to tell everyone because she does such a great job of keeping all of you informed of our weekly adventures.  

Thanks again Mommy for all that you do - both Walker and I love you so much.  Thank you for giving me the greatest son in the world and being the best wife a man could ever ask for.  I love you - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Walker would also like to send out a happy Mother's Day to Jules and Moppy - he is looking forward to seeing both of you soon.

-- Walker and Patrick

Lovin' the Girls!!

Boy, do we have a problem already.  The girls are coming in two's and Walker is loving every minute of it.  

My boss, his wife, daughter and friend came over tonight to see Mr. Peacock.  Some of you may remember an earlier post about our neighborhood peacock...well Mr. Peacock is still here. The girls wanted to come over and see him.  I just had to post these two pictures, because Walker had so much fun playing with Kayla and Whitney outside.  I think they had so much fun playing with him. They played with him in the grass and especially made sure he wasn't eating anything he wasn't suppose too.  I told them they needed to come over more often and help me.  I don't think Walker stopped smiling when they were here.  He LOVED all the attention from two cute blonde girls:) They will be freshmen in high school in the fall.  Thank you girls for stopping by. Walker enjoyed playing with you both!!
