Easter 2015

I say it all the time but these special holidays keep getting more special as the boys get older. Easter was no different as the first one where Walker really knew what was going on. And let me tell you, he was FUNNY. He knew how to run after those eggs! No one had to tell him that there were tasty treats inside. :) Grayson had a great weekend too. With the exception of getting into a fire ant bed at our annual MOPS Easter Egg Hut.

MOPS Easter Egg Hut

Ready to begin!

Grayson's foot hurt pretty badly so he almost missed the hunt! Fortunately, we set it up to where each kid hunted a dozen eggs and stopped there. It went really well and there were still eggs left for him and the younger kids who weren't as fast. :)

Poor baby was in pain from the fire ant bites.

Easter morning - couldn't wait for Walker to awake!

Walker's turn

Easter church - they looked SO adorable!

This is more like it :)

A special bond - these two have.

OPEN!

Walker does everything that Grayson does!

We enjoyed the day with Ma and Charmaine also.

Walker's 2nd Birthday Party!

Since Walker's birthday fell on Super Bowl Weekend yet again and I couldn't go a second year with a football theme, I decided to go with another seasonal favorite: Mardi Gras! And because he won't let me decorate in purple and gold forever ;) We scaled down the party quite a bit from the year before and had a small group of family and friends over to the house to celebrate our boy. Here are some photos - enjoy!

Walker turns 2!

I'm so sad that I haven't captured more of this little BIG personality on this blog! I feel like time and memories are escaping me! Walker managed to chew on the camera cord so another year, another event where I can't access the birthday pictures. Anyway, here are some things that our boy is up to...

Height: 36in (85th percentile)
Weight: 30lbs
Size 6 shoe
Size 5 diaper (He's pushing me to potty train but I'm not having it until after Disney World!)

Words: About 20
- Num num = vitamin
- Ning ning = candy
- Oosh = shoes (just like Grayson used to say!)

SLEEP: This boy sleeps like a champ still. Still one 3 hour nap on non-school days and about 12 hours a night. He still goes right into his crib without crying. both at night and waking up, he just plays and talks to himself. When he's ready to get out (about 20-30 minutes after waking up), he sweetly (and LOUDLY) calls out DAADAAAAA? If he doesn't get an answer to that after 10 or so times, he switches to MAMAAAAA? So cute. He never gets frustrated or impatient. Just keeps calling until we go up there. Very different than Grayson's impatient cries every time he woke up ;)

EATING: Still so, so picky. The sweeter and more processed the better. He has started to eat a tad more meat than usual. He's always loved a good cheeseburger but has added in some of his Daddy's BBQ from time to time. He doesn't eat fruit or veggies. Only fruit/veggie packets.

CLOTHES: Walker love, love, loves all things accessories! He loves to wear a hat, changes them out regularly, and shoes are no different! He has now started "telling" me what he wants to wear by refusing what I pick out and going over to his closet or dresser and picking out something else. Even with PJs. It's pretty cute actually :) He has quite the reputation for this. We even had a sweet friend leave a surprise fedora on our doorstep for him.

His personality is so big and he has been SO FUN to watch grow up! When people say that littles do everything like their older sibling, they aren't kidding. EVERYTHING. Every. last thing. The good, the bad, the funny! Poor Grayson hears us say "set a good example!" a hundred times a day. Walker just idolizes his big brother. That said, he does plenty on his own. Like the clothes for one. Grayson couldn't care less about clothes! But also dancing. Wow, does Walker like to dance!
