Today we had a very low key day, which was very nice for a change. We hung around the house this morning and Walker got to feed the bunnies carrots and bread then we went out to find him some shoes and mail Josh's tools. I found 2 at Target but there is not a good selection of boy sandals out there. We went to payless first and they had nothing in his size(6W) So after going to Target and digging I finally found one pair for $2.50 & the other pair for $3.30. When we left Target we decided to ride around some because Walker feel asleep in the car and we didn't want to wake him. We looked at all the over priced houses for sell around us. We both hope they get what they are asking for so we can sell high also. Josh cooked us dinner while Walker and I cleaned his toys up but he wasn't much help. After dinner it was still early so we decided to take Walker to Barnes&Noble and let him pick out a new book while Josh and I got a coffee drink. Josh got to see how much Walker loves the book store and now that he can walk he enjoys it even more. When we got back Josh gave Walker his bath and read his new book to him so I snapped the picture. As you can see from the picture Josh needed the coffee. P.S. I felt the baby move for the first time last night, and this time I am sure it wasn't gas because I felt it again today. :)

Doctor Visit - 15 mths


Walker had a well check with the Dr. Hodel Friday where we found out that she will no longer be his doctor. She is moving to Illinois to be with her husband. Walker's report was very good like always and now he can have egg whites and peanut butter. At first she said shy away from the nuts until I told her I fed Walker chick-fil-a without thinking it was fried in peanut oil. She said if he did fine with that he should be able to start eating nuts. We still aren't going to go crazy with the nuts but it is nice to have more options for lunch. The doctor said to still not give him chocolate until he is two. Josh and I were so excited about giving him scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning but Walker wanted no part of them. He spit them out faster then Josh could move his hand away. Oh well, I don't care to much for eggs myself. Oh Walker's head size 19.21(90%) weight 26.7 (76%) & height 2' 8"(92%) She said that he was at perfect proportion and that he was going to be a pretty tall boy. He also had to get two shots but he did very good with them and only cried when she stuck him. As soon as she finished and I picked him up he quit crying. I can not say enough what a perfect(for the most part) baby he has been. :) The picture of Walker is on the ways home from the doctor's office.

We are down one more member of our family. Grace the rabbit died some time yesturday. We don't know if it was the heat or old age. We never knew how old she was because we got her at a sale barn. She looked old when we got her, so I'm think she was at least 7 years old. Long life for a rabbit. Now we have 2 rabbits, 1 cat, & 5 dogs.

Sorry no pictures this weekend. I had the camera the whole time with me but always forget to take it out. Saturday we went to my uncle's 50th birthday party at Grandmom's. It was so hot because all the people there but we had fun. Walker has fun anywhere he has people watching him. Sunday was Grandma Roach's surprise birthday party and boy was that hot. Just about everyone in the family was there. That was the surprise for me. I love seeing everyone but that seems like all I get to do is just see everyone, because it is to crazy to talk. After the party Josh and I went to his warehouse to clean up a little but I wasn't much help because I got hot and had to sit in the tool truck with the air. Helping Josh made me realize that we cannot put moving off much longer. It would help so much if he could park at home and store his tools at home. Our house here is way to small for something like that. We decided to wait until after the baby is born and all the holidays to put our house on the market. We are looking at spring time.
Walker is walking almost running at times everywhere. I can't believe how fast he caught on to the whole walking thing. He also got to new molars on both sides of his bottom teeth this week. I didn't even know until Josh saw them while eating dinner.
