Not Much Lately......


Yes, that's what we have been doing lately...not much! It's always amazing when you have so many plans for the weekend and it changes in a second. Walker started feeling under the weather on Saturday and continued to get worse through the weekend. We spent most of Sunday morning in our weekend pediatrician's office. Walker has an ear infection. He is finally feeling better today with NO fever. I'm so glad he is feeling better, because I'm not sure if we can stay couped up in the house another weekend. I will admit is was fun staying in our pj's all weekend and spending quality time together, but it's hard to stay inside with a 18 month old:)

On Tuesday, Walker had his 18 month check up. He weighs 29 pounds and 33 inches tall. He is growing like a weed and taking in everything. He is so much fun and its getting easier communicating with him. He says everything lately...most of the time when you ask him to say a word he will repeat you. It doesn't always sound like it should, but it's so sweet to hear him try to say it. The funniest lately is the word, "Wow". He also is very good at saying, "Snowman" and for Santa he says, "Ho, Ho".

He loves to play with the snowmen that sing from Hallmark. He turns them on one by one and dances to the music. I've already had to change the batteries:) He has done very well with the Christmas tree. We decided this year to go with a smaller tree with less ornaments. He goes over and looks, but doesn't show any interest in messing with the ornaments. I hope next year he can have his very own tree to decorate.

It's that time a year again when Dairy Queen makes Patrick's favorite blizzard...."Candy Cane Chill". This is actually very terrible, but Patrick has gone there every night this week. His excuse is....Walker loves it too:) Walker definitely takes after his Daddy and LOVES eating ice cream.

Check out my shirt......Mom's favorite gift. I recently celebrated my birthday and both my boys made my day extra special. Patrick and Walker gave me a really cool camera for my birthday/X-Mas and I'm enjoying taking photos with it. I can't wait to get to Moppy and Papa's this weekend to practice more.
