Walker - 10 months!

Some things to note about Walker this month:

-He weighs 25 pounds and is still in size 4 diapers. He's in 12-18 month clothes and is quickly outgrowing clothes that Brady was wearing when he was about 15 months old.

-He started clapping this month. So cute!

-He is trying to talk and pretty much has Mama and Dada down. We were riding in the car yesterday and Walker was saying "Mama mama mama" and Brady goes, "Hey! Did you hear that? Walker said Mama! I didn't know he could talk!"

-He is cruising around our furniture and climbs up to standing on pretty much anything! He's really trying to walk, and has perfected walking behind his toy walker. Not much longer, I think.

-He sleeps great, from about 6:30/7 until 7ish.

-He loves people and revels in attention from strangers. He will smile at anyone if they give him a little attention.

-He is very active and adventurous. I was helping Brady with something in our room earlier and walked out to find Walker halfway up the stairs. Guess it's time for the baby gate!

Walker's Baptism

Walker's Baptism Day

September 25, 2016 (9 months old)

MDUMC: The Journey, Houston, TX

Walker had a beautiful baptism day. Both sets of grandparents, as well as Andrew and Ashlee, were able to be here for it, which was really special. When the preacher took the stage to give the morning announcements Brady said loudly, "Is that the guy that's gonna put water on Walker's head?"

Walker did great and several people told us how cute he was up there. He stared at the water the whole time then when people started cheering he looked out at the crowd and smiled real big!

Here are some pictures we took before and after the service....

Look how grown up this one looks!!

His smile just gets me... those eyes... he smiles with his whole face!

Walker opening his baptism gift from Uncle Levi and Aunt Ashlee:

Here is a picture of Brady on his baptism day: September 21, 2014 at one year old; and Walker on his baptism day: September 25, 2016 at 9 months old.

When Ashlee and Andrew loaded up their car to get ready to leave both dogs jumped in Mox's little kennel, and then turned around and stared at us with these huge smiles. It was hilarious!
