Walker 2 year checkup

We had Walker's 2 year check up this morning (only about a month late!). He had mid-night a visit to the urgent care earlier this week so his appointment fell at just the right time. Walker woke up Tuesday night coughing and crying and wheezing, and couldn't catch his breath. His coughing sounded like a seal, and we could tell his breathing was really labored. I took him in to the urgent care by our house and they immediately hooked him up to a breathing treatment and gave him steroids. They also did an x-ray to make sure there was nothing obstructing his breathing. Turns out he had croup, and the breathing treatment/steroids helped tremendously. He's been coughing quite a bit this week but nothing too crazy. The doctor today also found that he has an ear infection, so we'll get him started on antibiotics and get that taken care of!



Practicing writing his name, getting those little eyes as close to the paper as possible! 



And just for kicks, a comparison of Walker (left) and Brady (right) at 2 years old:

Carmel 2017

Blake and I recently took a trip to Carmel by the Sea in California. It was one of my favorite vacations we've ever been on! This place is absolutely gorgeous, and there are so many fun outdoor activities to do. We spent our days hiking the state parks: Big Sur, Garrapata and Point Lobos; and our evenings dining at some of the best restaurants we've been to: Mission Ranch Inn, Demetra, and Casanova. Our Bed & Breakfast (The Hideaway) was in town so we were able to walk the streets and stop in the art galleries after dinner each night. The town is adorable and has such a cool, relaxing atmosphere. We cannot wait to go back!




Watching the whales at Point Lobos.



We stopped at Pebble Beach to check out the golf course!


















Made it to the top of the Big Sur mountain: a total hike of 6 miles!


















Our last dinner was at Mission Ranch Inn, where you can watch the sheep grazing in the pasture as the sun goes down. What a dream!

My oh-so-fun travel buddy!!
