Mini's Birthday and Visit with Pops

This past weekend was my mom's (Mini) birthday! We had her over to our house for Mexican (her request) to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time and enjoyed spending her birthday with her. Then on Saturday Pops and Nancy came into town for a visit with Walker. Spending time with them was great and Walker really enjoyed being spoiled by his Pops. On Sunday, Walker and I went for his first walk outside. He really enjoyed being outside and was just looking around at everything. I am so thankful for warmer weather lately, because Walker and I really needed to get our of the house!

This is what my days consist of now.......

Walker is growing so fast!! He loves to sit in his Boppy bouncer and is slowing growing to like his swing. He also likes to play under his jungle mat. He really just loves to be held by Mommy or Daddy (we are working on this daily). His favorite time of the day is bath time. He gets a bath every night at 6:30pm and he really loves the water. He knows the sound of the water running and if he is crying he stops when he hears the water running.

Walker sitting in his Boppy bouncer at 4 weeks 5 days. Such a sweet baby boy!

Getting ready to take a nap in his cradle. Loving on his Hippo from Aunt Kriston, Uncle Jason, and Cousin Ellison!

We are looking forward to a great weekend! Mini's birthday is Friday and she is coming over for Mexican dinner and Pops and Nancy are coming for a visit on Saturday!

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!

After his first bath!

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!!
