Walker William - 9 Months

Last week we celebrated 9 months...
9 months ago you changed our lives sweet boy! I just can't believe that I am already planning your first birthday party! Yes, you have a crazy momma that goes all out for birthday parties and start planning months in advance! Maybe by the time you are reading this, I have started a party planning business!
We love the 9 month check up because...
#NOSHOTS
Weight: 20lbs 11oz (75%)

Height: 29" (75-90%)

Head:  18 3/4"(95%)

Walker pulls himself up on anything and everything. Although he does a great job at furniture surfing, he crawls so fast that I am not sure he has any desire to walk at this point!

Walker enjoyed his first Christmas! 

He was more than thankful for all his new toys as he has been playing with pink things for the last 8 months!

My two handsomes! Walker is the biggest mommy's boy, but he reaches for Kevin once and a while! lol I couldn't resist this picture! 

Watch out world! He loves being pushed around in this car. We chase Brooke and he just laughs!

I could not of asked for a better sister for Walker. She has replaced me as mom and does a pretty darn good job! She is constantly checking on him, playing with him, and tells him everything is going to be ok when he is crying. Just look at the way he looks at her! This momma's heart melts!

Walker still only eats pouches, but he is the King of puffs!

Walker is really into Lola and will look for her if you say "Where's Lola". Unfortunately if your name is not Kevin, Lola is not a fan!

I love this boy more than I could of ever imagined!

Milkshake at 9 months?!? Sure! Sorry Brooke, I would of NEVER let you have this at 9 months!

He is too cute for words!

Walker cut 2 teeth this month and this is the face I got every time I tried to take a picture of them!

Brooke's monitor sat on the top of her crib everyday until she got her big girl bed... fast forward to 3 years later, Walker can spot this monitor wherever I put it! He know exactly what is it and will laugh when I say "NO WALKER"! We have resorted to putting it on top of his basketball hoop - out of reach!

I can already tell Walker is going to be a hard worker! He learns from the best!

Here are a few more randoms:

Eating: Now that you are eating more solid food, I am only nursing you 4 times a day. When you wake up, noon, 4pm, and again at 8pm. You are continuing your high maintenance self and prefer pouches. You love yogurt, and puffs!

Sleeping: 8p-6-7am

Diapers: last box of size 3 before moving up to 4

Clothes: 12-18 month

Milestones/Firsts: Another big month for our big boy! He cut his first tooth (bottom left) on Jan 2, and the bottom right on Jan 10th. You are furniture surfing, and are EVERYWHERE! We joke that we already need a leash for you! 

Life Lately

Life has been pretty uneventful since Christmas! Not too much on the calendar, and winter is in full swing. Side note, speaking of winter... Brooke has become obsessed with Dolphin Tale. Winter is the dolphin, and she has begged to take a trip to Florida to see her. Thank you Clearwater Marina as we can see live video on the internet!

Here is what life has consisted of over the past couple of weeks!

They make the same face!

 Could she be any more like her momma?!?

 I could not of asked for a better sissy for Walker. I should probably say "mother"!

 Walker shenanigans! He is everywhere, all the time!

 The other day I caught her on my computer... Her response... "Mom, I am just blogging"

 Walk man now knows where the monitor is all the time. We had to put it on top of his basketball hoop - out of reach. 

 Friday pizza night at our favorite!

 Someday he will be pumping her gas!

 Showing off their lunch winnings!

I can't help but thank Jesus everyday for these two precious kiddos! 

 We have been spending a lot of time with granny and paw paw because they are headed to FL soon!

Walker got to try sissy's milkshake! I would NEVER of let B have a milkshake at 9 months! ha

#secondchildwin

I now understand why my brother gets everything he wants!

 We got to shower this beautiful momma and baby Kate!

Swing back by later this week for Walker's 9 month post!

Happy MLK Day!

XOXO,

NYE 2016

Very thankful that the Lord has brought us another year!

We went to an early dinner Saturday night with some of our besties, picked up the kiddos #thanksmomanddad, and headed home to ring in the new year. 

So fancy and without kids! We didn't know what to do!

Kevin has been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before, but the rest of us haven't. Let me tell you it was AMAZING! We had so much fun, and ate until we could hardly stand up!

 Girls side

 and our handsomes!

Kevin and I are so blessed by these friends! We can't wait for friends trip 2017!

I pray 2017 is an amazing year for us all!

XOXO,

Christina
