Walker's 1st Easter!!

Walker's first Easter was great!! Bella was here to celebrate with us, and we went to Tomball for lunch with Gramm and Gump and Uncle Jake.  The sermon at church was fantastic, as usual, and the weather was beautiful!!  It was a great day!!  Little Man looked so handsome in his easter clothes, here are a few photos....

The Easter Bunny came to visit Walker THREE times!!  He got some new clothes, a new toy to chew on, a beach towel, some bubbles, some money for his piggy bank, and a new book!!

JESUS IS RISEN!! XoXoXo

SiX MoNtHs aLrEaDy?!?

Where does the time go?!?! My little man is already over 6 months old, with two teefs coming in on the bottom, and not being swaddled at night to sleep anymore!!  Goodness, I don't want time to go by so fast....

Last Friday was Walker's 6 month checkup, and as expected, he's a big boy.  19lb 13oz, so 90% in weight, and 28.25in long, 95% in height.  The doc said everything looked good!!  Munckin was a trooper when it came to his shots, crying for literally 3 seconds until I picked him up and then nothin.  He makes me so proud every day!! :)

We also had photos done of him Friday and he was in the best mood ever.  The photographer said babies like Walker make his job easy. :)  Of course, it helped that somehow I managed to plan it out perfectly that he ate and had a 30 minute nap right before we went in for his photos.  So of course he was happy.  Go Mom, if I must say so myself!!  Here are some of the photos....(altho I know you have already seen all of them since I plastered them all over facebook, hehe)

 

Walker is getting dedicated at church on June 26th, so that's exciting!!  I wish we could do it sooner, but there are only certain days throughout the year that they do baby baptisms, so June 26th it is.

I'll have some Easter pictures after this weekend!!  Happy Easter everyone!

Shhhh, he's sleeping!!

I figured I have a few minutes while the big boy is napping so I would put a few pictures up.  He is not on a nap schedule that I can count on because we are always coming and going at different times.  Do other moms not make plans if they are going to interfere with the baby's regular nap time?!?  I would never be able to leave my house if I did that because Walker is still eating every three hours and napping intermittently in between those!!  Forget that!!

I am boiling some carrots to feed him tonight for the first time!!  His first food!!  We tried cereal two times and it went horribly, he wanted NOTHING to do with it.  So we quickly gave that up and I am giving in to feeding him some carrots to start off his solid foods.  I don't know why I am so against starting him on solids, but I am really sad about it!!  It's not like he is still eating off of me and I am sad to lose that, because he realized very quickly when I went back to work that the bottle was much easier.  So now I just give him breastmilk in a bottle.  So I will continue to do that when he starts solid food.  Maybe it just makes me sad because I feel like he is getting so big and growing too fast!!  Who knows!!

I cleaned my house yesterday and today for the first time since quitting work and I will admit, IT SUCKS!!  I miss my housekeeper BIG TIME, but it was totally worth giving her up to stay home with the little munchkin.  But still, cleaning house sucksssssssssssssssssssssss............

I don't know about you, but I never knew that eczema in babies was such a HUGE problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had no clue that so many babies have it and I never heard parents talk about what a horrible pain it is!  Maybe Walker just has it alot worse than most.  His cheeks are always red and oozing from his eczema, and behind his knees is pretty scary lookin.  You can't tell too bad in the pictures below.  He has good days and bad days and it can change in an hour.  We have tried just about everything we know of, but if anyone has any miracle cure or suggestions, we would realllllllllllllly appreciate any help we can get!!

So here are a few new pictures from recently.

 



6 month checkup is next Monday, so I will update then!!  We might be in the 100% on height and weight, we'll see!
