It Never Fails

Our nights go something like this: dinner, bath, milk, put the dogs in their kennel, drag Walker out of their kennel and put him in bed. He LOVES Tie Bear so much, it's unreal!

He seems pretty happy with sleeping with the dogs. 

Weekend Gardening Project

Walker had so much fun playing outside while we finished the garden.

He played with the pots:

 He even thought to turn them over and play them like bongos:

 He ate soil:

Tried to make excuses on how he didn't eat soil. Evidence is clear, Walkie:

Our youngest pup, Buddy always manages to get stung by a wasp in the spring. One morning he came in and we found his whole face swollen. Today he came in and they got him good on his face. It doesn't bother him but does make him look like Alf.

When we were at the store R had asked me if I thought we needed to get a gardening sheet to keep weeds from growing. I said that I found this pin on Pinterest that said that newspaper killed weeds. He had this glazed look over his face and asked the question again. The next morning I hear him talking with our neighbor who has a beautiful yard and come out to find this happening:

R said that he asked him what he used and he told him that he usually used newspaper. WHAT! My husband doubted my all sacred Pinterest?! He sure hasn't doubted Pinterest dinners that I've made. 

And here's the final product. We love it!

Random Pictures of Walker

Yeah, good ole Sissy putting the baby to bed again. 

Looking super cute in his red hoodie.

Such a precious boy!

Chewing on a piece of turkey meat. 

Great Grandma Mo made Walker his stocking. 

Super cute! 

Wordless Wednesday has a lot of words!

Walker has really been fighting bed time. He says he's old and doesn't need one. Wrong little baby! You are so wrong!

We first pretend to want to go to sleep for the night:

 And then he cries and cries because he wanted more time with us. Sissy really put her foot down and came over to snuggle with him. He was content.

 Sissy has the touch! Walkie was out for the count!

 Mrs K sent this adorable little backpack to Walker. I LOVE it!

A Boy and His Dog

Walker LOVES our dogs and they love him too. Tie Bear has started this new thing where he jumps on the jumper and watched Walker. Walker will pet him and Tie will kiss him. Then Walker gets really excited and starts jumping and Tie gets scared and falls off. The everyday play of a boy and his dog.

GI Appointment

"Why is Donna mad at David?"

"What does forged checks means?"

Sometimes when Walker is fussy I put him in his Pack n' Play napper and put him in our bed. He falls right to sleep and wakes up so happy! We usually watch reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. There's something about Tori Spelling that makes Walker smile.

He's so damn cute! I couldn't help it!

Today we went to see Dr. Carter and Mrs. Laura. They were very happy with Walker's weight gain. He's 13.2 pounds and averaging 36 grams a day. We get to lower the TPN to 8 hours next shipment and we get to start solids! We are super excited! Protein and vegetables but no sugars. One tablespoon two times a day, I'll be making his food and can't wait to get started! He's also allowed to go up to 100ml for every bottle and then of course his snack of 20ml.

Since Walker is still on the study drug Omegavan they like to draw blood and record his levels. So after his appointment we were sent down to pathology. We had a nice room with this picture on the wall and I thought it was a sign that this was going to go pretty fast.

I was wrong.

These two idiots, seen below, could NOT find Walker's vein. They were digging the needle into his precious skin and he was not having it. She called in another woman who did the exact same thing but more forceful to the other arm. R was not happy and said, "Take it out. We're leaving". Clearly these women don't know how to draw blood.

Walker's little arm is so sensitive because of the second lady. I'll refrain from letting y'all know exactly how I feel about this lady.

Walker and Tie Bear BFF's!

Tie Bear is my dog. I say "my" because he's the first dog that I ever solely took care of. He lived with me a short time in College Station while I lived with Walker's Auntie A. I've always been partial to him. When he's hurt, the world is ending. I was never scared of sharing my love between my dog and my baby. I still love my dog like I love my baby. I have enough love in my heart to give animals and babies.




When I was pregnant, my boy dogs, Tie and Buddy started to fight. A LOT! They have to go in shifts on who is out. We knew Buddy wasn't going to pay any attention to the baby because, well, he was our baby. But I knew Tie would love him. He loves babies. He's very protective of me and now W.









He walks with me in W's room in the morning to make sure everything is okay. When he cries he pulls his ears up and looks at me like "You hear him?". Before we put him in his kennel for the night he goes into his room. He loves him! And loves his bottles. He also tries to break the bathroom door down when I'm giving W a bath.

The picture below is hilarious! I gave W a bath and changed his poopy diaper in the bathroom. I guess I left it in there because while R was showering I hear Tie slowly walking around the house. Now usually this isn't good but when I looked up he had his eyes centered on me, gently holding the diaper in his mouth. He dropped it at my feet and cleared his throat. Then he jumped on the couch and went to sleep. I was dying with laughter! 

I'm so happy my boys love each other. I can't wait for Walker to chase Tie around the house. I'm sure Tie will lead Walker to places he's not supposed to be.

Wordless Wednesday

"Ahh!"

"Why don't he want to play with me?"

"Kisses from my brudder"

"Hims a funny guy"

"Brudders for life!"

"Night night"
