9 Months

admin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:57:15 +0000

Walker Nash is 9 months old today. WHAT? That means in 3 short months he will be 1 year old. He is still our dream baby!

Walker is a lot more talkative than Griff was at this age. He will talk all day and try to mimic what I say.

Independent. Walker prefers to feed himself, and figure things out on his own, just like Griffin. He doesn’t look to Mom for help much anymore.

He regularly eats his portion of food and finishes off Griff’s plate too.

He also does the “hands up” dance, and I will update this post with that video soon.

Happy 9 months Walky!

Happy EARLY Valentine’s Day

Hands up, Baby, Hands up… give me your heart!

Favorite Things

These are a few of my favorite things that my boys do lately.

Walker loves to stand by the windows to see outside.. and to wait for Dad to come home.

I countdown until I get to watch his little hands caress his bottle.

Look at those little dimples for knuckles…LOVE!

On our walks now, Griff insists on pushing Walker.

He takes good care of him!

After we read books at night, we leave the lamp on for Griff to fall asleep. I also look forward to going in a few hours later to turn off the light and check on my little bug in a rug.

Here and There

I guess riding a plasma car can get pretty dangerous… Griff made sure he had proper head protection for all the donuts he spins out of!

It honestly amazes me what Griff can come up with on his own. He is naturally curious and not scared to try anything… and he doesn’t want help!

It will be very interesting to see what he does as his skill levels improve!

This + This = This

Walker started getting a good “pincer grasp” a few weeks ago. Once he figured how to do it, it is his preferred method. He will eat baby food if I have something on his tray that he can feed himself with too.

Walker also doesn’t stop moving. Diaper changing and dressing have become magic tricks over here. He is trying to keep up with his brother Griffy and wants to be in on all the action.

I love this busy stage we are in!

Griffy’s Goals

We have a few routines that we are turning into charts so we can recognize Griff’s accomplishments.

Hopefully there will be a potty chart soon.

30 Balloons

Parker and Hali, Tillman and Penny brought over 30 balloons to celebrate Landon’s 30 years of life.

The next 30 minutes were non stop running, giggles and fun!

Thank you young Turks… We love you!

Happy Birthday Darling

Today Landon turns 30!

A stunning wife, two amazing kids, a great job… what more could you ask for?!

Oh, a massage you say? Perfect. You deserve it after traveling to Peru and back to spend Christmas with your in-laws.

You are scheduled Wednesday night at 7:00 pm.

Happy Birthday to my one and only!

Since We’ve Been Home

Walker has started clapping and signing “more.” He pulls up on everything and gets frustrated if he can’t stand up. He is the happiest guy in town. Even with a cold, teething and running on very little naps he doesn’t make a fuss. We call him Angel Baby or Perfect Child. What a fun age!

And we bought big boy underwear…. notice I said bought…. we are testing the waters and will officially start potty training soon!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Peru!

We are having an amazing time in Peru with Mama and Papa T and all the missionaries. The boys are loving all the extra attention and their new Peruvian National Soccer jerseys.

Christmas is Coming

We had a very festive Saturday. Tillman and Griffin were able to decorate gingerbread houses. The boys probably ate more than what they put on the house. Griff took a nice big bite of green fondant first thing, so I was watching him like a hawk.

Tillman on the other hand had a sly approach. While he was waiting for his mom to put the frosting on, he would cram in as many pieces of candy while he could, and then place one on the house.

The finished product.

Walker and Penny Girl always happy to be apart of the festivities.

If you look closely, you can see Walker’s snaggle tooth coming in. He started to get his left fang last week, and this week he has turned into a vampire with the right fang popping through. We LOVE it.

Then we met up with the Turks at the Temple… Parker’s pole to be precise. He was in charge of putting up the lights on a particular pole and it will forever be known as Parker’s Pole from here on out.

What a beautiful site… and an even more beautiful blessing to live so close.
