Playing under his jungle gym..

Walker is changing so much on a daily basis. He is staying awake more and beginning to "talk". This week we pulled out the jungle gym mat and put him under it. He loved it!

We also went back to the doctor on Thursday (he was 3 weeks old) to weigh him. He now weighs 8lbs. 3oz. He is a growing boy!!

Home photo session

Walker and I had a home photo shoot this am so I though I would share some of the photos.

Our first trip out of the house

Last Thursday we had Walker's first doctor's appointment. Daddy meet us at the doctor's office and Walker and I drove from the house. He didn't seem to mind being in his car seat at all as you can see from the picture below. He slept the entire way there!

Walker's current statistics:

7lbs. 6oz.

21 1/2 inches long

This is just a picture I liked and thought I would share!

Walker Brent Daniel has arrived

Brent and I welcomed Walker Brent Daniel on Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 1245 am. He weighed 7lbs. 13oz and was 21 inches long. He is our pride and joy and we can't believe he is finally here. We are loving every minute of him. He overall is a great baby! We couldn't ask for any better! He sleeps at night and only gets up to eat and for a diaper change and then he is right back to sleep in his cradle! Daddy and him play during the day for as long as he will stay awake! He and Brent are already little buddies. He loves to hear Brent's voice. I will post more pictures as he grows! We had his newborn pictures taken yesterday, so I will have some really cute ones soon!

On the way home! In his car seat for the first time!

One week old TODAY!

So far behind...........

So I am a little behind on the whole blogging thing. To make things easy on myself I am going to catch up in one post and just tell the really fun and exciting things!!

First, we had a great Christmas. This was Ellison's first Christmas and she was such a blast to spend it with. It is funny how children make everything so much more fun. I can't remember what it was like when she wasn't around! What did we do for entertainment??

Ellison playing with her new tea set!

Ellison in her new wagon Mini bought for her! She loved it!

Next came Ellison's FIRST BIRTHDAY! I can't believe she is already 1 year old. It seems like just yesterday I was driving as fast as I could to get to Knoxville before she arrived. That was the fastest trip I have ever made and will never forget it. I think about it every time I drive up now. How many cm was Kriston when I was here on the interstate? What was going on when I was at mile marker 286? I can remember certain songs that were playing when I was driving like crazy.

I took a trip to Knoxville for Ellison's birthday even though I was 35 weeks pregnant with Walker. I wouldn't have missed her birthday for anything in the world. She is such a blessing and I love that little girl so much! Her birthday was a blast and I am glad I was able to make the trip with no complications or scares of labor.

The adorable BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Next the girls from work threw my a baby shower. It took place at Whitney Tolbert's and everything was great! We really enjoyed it and had a great time. Walker and I received lots of great gifts. Next, we are planning a Baby Shower for Whitney Tolbert!! Can't wait to find out if its a boy or girl!!! Only a few more weeks or sooner hopefully!!

Walker Update

Today we had our 30 week doctors appt. We did not see Dr. Harper due to an emergancy at the hospital but, we did have the ultrasound we were scheduled for to weight Walker.

He currently weighs 3 lbs. 15 oz. Which is about a week and a half ahead of what he should be, however, they are not worried at all. They said he is just going to be a healthy boy! We are very glad to hear this!

Is it really December already?

Sorry it has been a little while since I posted anything. The past few weeks have been very busy. We had a great Thanksgiving day. We started out with lunch at my Aunt Dawn and Pat's house. The food was great and we really enjoyed the time spent with them. Next, we headed home to have some family and a few friends at our house for Thanksgiving dinner. This was my first attempt at Thanksgiving dinner. With the help of my mom walking me through (over the phone) how to make dressing, it turned out horrible. Everything except the dressing was good. I don't know what I did wrong, but the I put too much of something in the dressing. Needless to say, we threw it all away!

The next day, we headed out for a little shopping. Not at the crack of dawn, around lunch time. We didn't get much except for a few little things. Then we headed back home to get out the Christmas decorations. After I had a minor meltdown about some of our decorations, we headed back out to get new ones. We got a new tree and tree skirt and by now it was too late to continue with the decorating so we relaxed and went to bed and finished the decorations the next day!

A little update on Walker! Today we are 30 weeks pregnant! Wow! I can't believe this is all going by so fast! Walker has been measuring 3 weeks ahead of what he should be at this point in weight! Today, we have a doctors appt. and they are going to do an ultrasound to get another weight on him and see where is falls this week! I will keep everyone updated after the appt. He moves all the time and it just makes me smiles everytime I feel him move. I love to lay on the couch and watch his movements on my stomach. I can definately tell he is getting bigger in there. His movements are getting bigger and the places I feel him move are much more spread out!

Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season!
