I'm going to start with Becca's first dance recital LAST May!<br />
She took the Preschool tap/ballet class with Mrs. Roddey at Dance Department, and she absolutely LOVED it! Anyone who knows her, knows what a perfectionist she is, so she practiced her dances so she knew them perfectly! I was a little worried she would be overwhelmed on stage (it was at the Koger Center), but she did great! Here are some of her pictures from the big day!<br />

week. We began with Becca starting 4K kindergarten. She has been looking
forward to this moment for over a year. Last Friday, we got to go visit her
teacher and her classroom. Her and Hayes are not in the same class, but they
right next door to each other.<br />

Monday was Labor Day, so we went to the parade in Chapin. We met up with a

Finally, it was Tuesday and time for preschool. Becca has been waiting so long
for this day to come, and then the night before, she got really nervous and
started crying. I was already a little sad simply because 4k meant my little
girl was growing up, but this really did me in. We said a prayer together that
night and the next morning on the way to school, and by the time we got there,
she was ready!<br />

The last picture is Becca with her teacher, Mrs. Beth.<br />
<br />
She had a great first week, and we couldn’t be happier. After this momentous
occasion, the bottom dropped out. Jack, our oldest black lab, has had a rough
summer. We knew the end was quickly approaching, but after Monday night, we
knew if was here. We made the decision Tuesday evening to put him to sleep.
This was quite possibly one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make, but
we also knew we didn’t want him to suffer. We spent our last night with him,
told B we were taking him to the doctor so she could tell him goodbye, and then
waited 3 agonizing hours until our 10:00 appointment Wednesday morning. Our hearts are crushed.
There are no other words to describe it. Jack was Jeremy’s dog, he was part of
Jeremy’s life before me, and he was Jeremy’s best friend. That was the hardest
part for me – watching my husband tell him goodbye. They had a bond that not
many people experience, and I know there will never be another Jack.<br />

Some of you may remember, but I had some pictures taken of Jack and Becca for
Jeremy as a Christmas present one year. Becca was about 7 months old, and
Jessica Edenfield of Hatton’s Photography came to our house one Saturday morning
while Jeremy was hunting to take these pictures. I had no idea how incredibly
amazing they would be! 6 of them are currently hanging in our house, and we
will always cherish them. Jessica was kind enough to post a few of them on FB
yesterday, and I love being able to share them with all of you. They are
priceless!<br />

Well, life has to go on, and I had a first birthday party to finish planning.
My BABY was turning 1 on Saturday, and I had a lot to do. Our theme was <u>The
Very Hungry Caterpillar</u>, and I think it turned out well (other than the fact
he got sick that night). I want to do a separate post on his party, but I will
share a few pictures with you to show that at least my week ended on a high
note!</div>

I'm not sure about his height and weight, but I have a feeling he was still around 20 pounds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Foods: still homemade baby food - and he's still not crazy about green vegetables. Squash, sweet potatoes, and fruits are his favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Diapers: Size 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Clothes: mostly 9-12 months, but definitely fitting in some 12-18</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Milk: some breastmilk, but he has started on formula</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sleeping: ALL night. I'm blessed with good sleeping babies. He also still takes 2 naps a day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Milestone: Really sits up well, and he's finally able to sit (unassisted) in the tub.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's what he has been up to: </div>

As you can see, Walker is still a really happy baby! His big sister still adores him, and he things she hung the moon and stars! We love how much joy this little boy has brought to our lives! We look forward to what comes next, although, if I could, I'd pause him where he is. He's growing up way too fast! </div>

I guess at 4 you're no longer a toddler. You're officially a kid. Becca has brought so much to our lives. She is an incredible little girl, and we have enjoyed watching her grow up. Here's a look back at her year!<br />

She had a mermaid themed 4th birthday party. We got a bounce house, and all of her friends from Nat's, dance, church, and other places came over. We had a great time. Instead of getting presents for herself, she asked all of her friends to bring donations for Pets Inc. We want to teach her that she doesn't 'need' everything she sees on tv. We also want her to appreciate what she does have. She really enjoyed seeing what all everyone brought for the dogs, and she really enjoyed taking the donations (minus the fact that she got bit by a dog while we were there). I know I'll probably spend the rest of my life saying this, but I cannot believe how fast she's growing up. I truly wish I had a pause button! I try to soak in every sassy minute I spend with her. I know it won't be like this forever.<br />
In an attempt to help me capture who she is at 4, I decided to do an interview with her. Here's what she had to say (verbatim and without any prompting!)<br />
And to start you off, as I was explaining to Becca that I was going to ask her questions so I could type them on my blog, she asked what kind. I told her it would be about things she liked. She said, "Oh, like my favorite color and animal? Anything I say you'll put on there?'<br />
I told her yes, and she quickly followed it up with, "Except no bad words. You won't type dumb on there because that's bad."<br />
<br />
What's your favorite color? PINK, BLUE, & GREEN<br />
What's your favorite toy? BARBIE DOLL, RACE CAR, AND A TRAIN<br />
What's your favorite food? CHEESE<br />
What's your favorite thing to wear? DRESSES & SKIRTS<br />
What's your favorite animal? A GIRAFFE<br />
What's your favorite song? SPEAK LIGHT (Speak Life by Toby Mac)<br />
What's your favorite book? Big Sister<br />
Who's your best friend? MARIANNE, HANNA, & HAYES<br />
What's your favorite thing to do outside? RIDE ON MY RED BIKE<br />
What's your favorite stuffed animal? CAMO<br />
What do you want to be when you grow up? A CHEERLEADER<br />

weight: 19 lbs 9 oz<br />
height: ??<br />
diapers: size 3<br />
clothes: 12-18 months tops & 9-12 months pants<br />
food: he's eating all fruits & vegetables now. He's not a big fan of green veggies, but we're working on that! He's still only getting breastmilk, but he is no longer nursing. He got to the point where he didn't like to nurse - I think mainly because he couldn't watch what was going on around him and because it took more effort. I just recently stopped pumping as well since my milk supply decreased once he stopped nursing, but we've got a lot of frozen milk, so we'll see how long that lasts.<br />
milestone: he can totally sit up by himself!<br />
word: Mama!!!! I was his 1st word!!! He's also said Dada a few times.<br />
sleeping: ALL night. He is ready for bed around 7 pm, and he sleeps until 6 or 7. He still takes 2 naps a day, but those vary depending on our schedule. He's pretty flexible.<br />
And here's a look at what he's been up to:<br />

Here are some 6 months stats on our <strike>little</strike> big man!<br />
<br />weight: 18 lbs 13 oz (70th percentile)<br />
height: I can't remember, but I do know he was off the charts! Dr. Geurkink's response was, "He obviously doesn't get that from mom or dad!"<br />
clothes: 9-12 months (mostly)<br />
diapers: size 3<br />
eye color: hazel<br />
hair: getting a lot more, and it's still blonde with a little red<br />
food: breastmilk (5 oz. bottles) and we started some baby food. He doesn't care much about it. I was shocked - I thought he would love it, but he could care less. At this point, we've only tried vegetables.<br />
personality: He is still the happiest baby in the world. People comment on it all the time, and it makes me smile. He lights up when he sees Daddy or me, but he really lights up when he sees Sissy:) She's his favorite person.<br />
milestone: he can sit up by himself for a few seconds<br />
Here are a few pictures from the month:<br />

I don’t know why – maybe because that would make it final, make it real. Maybe because I would just get so overwhelmed, so sad. But tonight I want to share this with everyone. I don’t want anyone to ever forget her, but most importantly, I want everyone to know how much she meant to me.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VxKL-e0yzNU/Uuh2N571U4I/AAAAAAAAD6I/DEEGhhM1T5s/s1600-h/1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="1" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Y370rfsjMZY/Uuh2OnvVdoI/AAAAAAAAD6Q/ztPxnO6xHiI/1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="170" height="244"></a></p> <p>Vickie and I were what most would call the unlikeliest of friends. Now for those of you who don’t know our past, Vickie and JP dated for several years. Things obviously didn’t work out for them, but I’m glad they dated. Now I realize most wives don’t feel that way about their husband’s ex, but had they not dated, our paths may never have crossed. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7xr7pUuzUh0/Uuh2PevzEMI/AAAAAAAAD6Y/BcshoSmqFA8/s1600-h/5%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="5" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="5" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YeAcQCWDp7E/Uuh2QJcvBJI/AAAAAAAAD6c/cNZHb1f3AAo/5_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>I’ll never forget the first time I met Vickie. We were at a Super Bowl party in 2004. JP and I had only been dating a few months. She was upset when she got to the party because the food she had brought had spilled all over her car. And true to Vickie, she wasn’t upset about the spill in her car, she was upset that she no longer had any food to contribute. You see, that’s how Vickie was. It was never about her – it was always about others.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GVst22U-s2c/Uuh2Qw-QEDI/AAAAAAAAD6o/QwO4hapHXNo/s1600-h/DSC05072%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSC05072" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="DSC05072" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXrf832M-hOI4bBzxkWQx5ibEDNeVkQ1cQdFNcRFmtxv3h0bZ9BF_XLFU_pZwDwGds6up5A5cl8yAjRkivqYypNgsaxHr8-H2Id-uPcbP5XB6PL7_JV-Q21AK50dK9F7t59AVfEl6aula_/?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184"></a></p> <p>Vickie and I didn’t become best friends over night, but over the years, we grew close. We were at each other’s weddings, we spent most weekends together, and we helped throw each other’s parties and showers.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EgvkLywqLP0/Uuh2SvEWgRI/AAAAAAAAD64/YH37Akz1YbU/s1600-h/IMG_4391%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_4391" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_4391" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Z-I7K1kf5Rc/Uuh2T4dFLiI/AAAAAAAAD7A/iKz2Qn-lttM/IMG_4391_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>Speaking of parties and showers, Vickie had a talent in party planning like no other. She did everything from designing invitations to planning and making the food. She always gave 110%, and everything she was a part of was magnificent. She just had a knack. There’s definitely been a void in this area.

It was at church, the Sunday before she passed away. I will always carry this with me - I will always find peace in this.</p> <p>I don’t know that you ever ‘get over’ the loss of someone so special, I think you just learn a new normal, and we’ve all definitely had to find a new normal. I still find myself picking up the phone to call her – to ask her something, to invite her to something, or just to tell her something that’s going on. I haven’t been able to take her number out of my phone. I don’t know that I ever will. </p> <p>To my Vickie -</p> <p>I miss you more than you can imagine. This world is not the same without you. I know many hearts were broken the day we lost you, but my prayer is that through your loss, people have realized how short life is – how we are never guaranteed tomorrow. I had the privilege of watching your relationship with God grow so much, and that is what gives me comfort in all of this. I have prayed a lot for your family the past year. I cannot imagine the hurt they are still dealing with. You ARE definitely loved by so many. So, goodbye for now. My prayer is that we’ll meet again someday. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--bRFaxD86OU/Uuh2d1lY0QI/AAAAAAAAD8o/CdNPlDtsQIk/s1600-h/6%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="6" style="border-top: 0px;

I really feel like I just found out I was pregnant – but that was a year ago New Year’s Eve. Here’s the latest on our sweet boy:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IFLo8RY1EWY/UuG8Zna5r8I/AAAAAAAAD04/HQ9FDs_FE-E/s1600-h/IMG_79023.jpg"><img title="IMG_7902" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7902" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qNupQ2V7iQ0/UuG8a4hrQ0I/AAAAAAAAD1A/6XoD2V7Ekas/IMG_7902_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>weight: 16 pounds 1 ounce (75th%)</p> <p>length: 26.5 inches (93rd%)</p> <p>clothes: size 6-9 months</p> <p>diapers: size 2 & 3 (He can still wear 2’s, but I went ahead and bought 3’s so he wouldn’t outgrow them.)</p> <p>personality: THE happiest baby. He smiles all of the time. He’s even started laughing out loud. He definitely recognizes us, but his favorite person is Becca. He lights up every time he sees her.</p> <p>food: breastmilk – He’s taking 5 ounce bottles when he doesn’t nurse. </p> <p>eye color: gray</p> <p>hair color: dirty blonde with a hint of red</p> <p>sleep: ALL night! I was definitely blessed with good sleepers. He usually goes down about 8:00 and gets up between 5:30 & 6:00.</p> <p>naps: He isn’t on a schedule with naps yet. He just cat naps throughout the day. I’m sure Nat will have him on a schedule in no time.</p> <p>talking: He ‘talks’ all of the time. He just babbles and coos. I love to listen to him.</p> <p>Favorites:</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHb8IEpGQZURBM21b0nECEudE-wvbioep26Ay-jerZ63pDr1b4LV0gSZbsjwgVKFzt64vjeg158i5bopCFhi60_hK0PDB_7SvsqjbFItzMny9Zg7Kyx47_yrWuA5R6AI0lSaMvWnCftbH/s1600-h/sophie%252520giraffe%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="sophie giraffe" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="sophie giraffe" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VfyzEaOHxNo/UuG8cVLmNRI/AAAAAAAAD1Q/J1nAROgnWo4/sophie%252520giraffe_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a></p> <p>This is his new favorite thing.

He kicks and splashes the whole time.</p> <p>We love having our family of 4. It hasn’t been as hard of an adjustment as I thought it would be (at least not yet, anyways).

He is also extremely long/tall. Not sure where that comes from. Ha! Here are some facts about Walker:</p> <p>* wears size 2 diapers</p> <p>* wears 3-6 months clothes</p> <p>* sleeps all night in his crib – between 10 & 12 hours</p> <p>* naps a lot during the day still</p> <p>* is so happy – he smiles all of the time</p> <p>* still only breastfeeding</p> <p>* when he’s not with me, he takes 4 ounce bottles</p> <p>* I went back to work on Dec. 2nd, so he’s not with me all day anymore. He stayed with GG and Grandmomma though, so he got lots of loving.</p> <p>* He talks – A LOT! Just like sissy!</p> <p>* Speaking of Sissy, she’s still completely in love with him. She hugs and kisses him every chance she gets. He loves her too!</p> <p>* He’s still a Mama’s boy and I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-y5ck6fyzyMI/Ur2UntS40WI/AAAAAAAAD0M/TzgkZi8Zado/s1600-h/IMG_7522%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7522" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7522" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OkYS6biXp2k/Ur2UpM2aTFI/AAAAAAAAD0U/wZMej6rscEg/IMG_7522_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTnbKBryqDyGz_mdoZ2KsfYK_6YnlDcgmS377GvQxmDA4N3nFlmBI6C5zkZLrjF527VBogitt-89v3GVTdOW7a56ULY6ixmD9FJOAUaM0UY3ISTS9URtxkGOktwu3I4b_V2aIP0kv90Iis/s1600-h/IMG_7527%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7527" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7527" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvN_Ym6u9yxx6maqLNJjx8uL4DlbtYAuUy8QQf1pg2jZ4eNv8BYbP5-zIYHAVmtnPhuMJMxQlDlbyOAs_bQoc9OBZB2j4bgmSeeU1ZYZAE6m7RYgq0nkem6-CX0Wb5cRbbzUiKG0AZWiO/?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>He’s doing a lot of slobbering and chewing on his fingers, so I think he may be getting ready to cut teeth soon!</p> amanda pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07880553134365203842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771029424468700500.post-28495263644339300982013-11-09T11:42:00.000-05:002013-11-09T11:42:00.646-05:00Becca the Big Sister<p>Don’t have a heart attack. Two blogs in less than 24 hours is a record for me, I know, but I realized how little I’ve posted about Becca since Walker’s been born. She’s hands down the BEST big sister. She loves him more than I ever thought possible. Anytime she’s in the same building as him, she has to kiss him or hug him or talk to him or something. She never acts jealous (which shocks me) – she absolutely thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread! I love watching her with him. She definitely emulates how I speak to him, and it’s quite funny. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-T7xi7BV8qkg/Un3I9qXkN9I/AAAAAAAADrU/4YbLmwywSnc/s1600-h/photo%2525202%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img title="photo 2" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="photo 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uaekjqB1Xbg/Un3I-TebWrI/AAAAAAAADrY/BCkP-TKHrAI/photo%2525202_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BNznd_4C1uY/Un3I-1pHUQI/AAAAAAAADrk/2rtFUJR4tH0/s1600-h/photo%2525205%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="photo 5" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="photo 5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-l-PekJ738FY/Un3I_QceXFI/AAAAAAAADrs/Xwzpk6w4_BM/photo%2525205_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a></p> <p>Other than the big sister gig, she’s been quite busy herself.

I love watching her grow and learn. She’s so inquisitive about EVERYTHING! Right now she’s obsessed with learning what your internal organs look like – not sure why, but we do a lot of googling. She’s also very active in church. She loves bible class, and we are currently working on her memorizing the books of the new testament. She’s almost done and then we’ll start working on the old testament. I still can’t believe she’s 3. I often wonder where the time has gone. People are constantly telling me she’ll be graduating high school before I know it, and I totally get it! I want to hit the pause button. I want to keep her like this for as long as I can. I want her to stay the innocent little girl who thinks her mommy and daddy are the best (most of the time). </p> amanda pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07880553134365203842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771029424468700500.post-90605443235314699722013-11-08T23:00:00.002-05:002013-11-09T00:54:49.754-05:00Walker - 2 monthsYes, I know what you're thinking. 2 months already? I feel like Walker is growing up even faster than Becca. Maybe it's because with 2 you don't have as much time to relax. Whatever it may be, he's here. He's 2 months old, and we love him to the moon and back. Here's his current stats (as of his checkup Wednesday):<br />
* weight - 13 lbs 1 oz<br />
* height - 24 inches<br />
* head circumference - 16 inches<br />
* size 2 diapers<br />
* mostly 0-3 clothes, but moving up to 3-6 months because he's so long<br />
* he's still nursing so I'm not sure how much he's drinking - they suggest 3-4 oz, so we'll go with that.<br />
* he sleeps between 7-10 hours at night:)<br />
* he naps most of the day still<br />
* he's home with Mommy - but only for a few more weeks:(<br />
* he is a happy baby unless he has a poopy diaper or gas.<br />
* he smiles and 'talks' when you talk to him - and it is THE sweetest smile<br />
* he loves being in his swing - especially when he sleeps<br />
* he does NOT like to be swaddled, but he does love his sound machine.<br />
* he's growing some hair and eyelashes - finally! <br />
* we just made the transition to the crib - it's going ok. He slept through the night the first night, but it's gone downhill since then.<br />
* he got his first boo boo when I was pulling something out of the top of his closet, and a wooden sign fell and hit him on the side of his head. Yes, I felt like Mother-of-the-Year, and yes, I called our friend Lindsay who is a nurse in the pediatric ER, and yes, I called the pediatrician's office at 10:30 at night. Turns out he was fine - I was just extremely paranoid since it was his head.<br />
* Becca is still completely in love with him. She talks to him and loves on him ALL.OF.THE.TIME! Bless his heart - he can't catch a break when she's around:)<br />
* He's a total mama's boy - and I love it! <br />
* I could eat him! <br />

October was a busy month, but we've had a lot of fun! It's definitely different having 2 children, but it hasn't slowed us down. We're enjoying every minute of it with our two blessings from God!</div>

He has been such a blessing to us. I can't imagine life without him. He's a great sleeper, a great eater (surprise, surprise), and a very calm baby. He just fits right in with us, and we love him to the moon and back.<br />

He is a very healthy baby. At about 3 weeks, I took him in to the doctor because we thought he had reflux. He was spitting up large amounts of milk every time he ate. Dr. G is out on medical leave, so we saw the nurse practitioner (who is wonderful), and come to find out, it's not reflux - he was eating too much. Because I'm nursing, I don't know how many ounces he's getting. All I can do is time how long he eats. The recommendation is they feed 10 minutes on each side (which is what he was doing), but evidently he was getting too much. We cut back to him feeding five minutes on each side, and that did it. No more spitting up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing we haven't had to worry about is his weight. This boy likes to eat, and obviously he's getting enough! Here are his stats:</div>

He loves his sound machine (just like big sissy). If he's fussy and you turn it on, he'll usually go right to sleep. We have a portable one that is on his car seat - BEST INVENTION EVER! He also loves the Woombie (again, just like big sister).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is a happy baby. If he cries, something is wrong. He's got such a good disposition - I pray he stays this way.</div>

It was a little different this time around since we knew the day we were going to have our baby. I wasn’t AS nervous as I thought I would be – I think I was just THAT miserable that I didn’t care what they had to do as long as he came out of me! </p> <p>I packed the car the night before in order to make that morning as stress free as possible. We had to be at the hospital at 7:30 AM, so we weren’t too rushed.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PHhb3qEdPak/Uk4wCtggEVI/AAAAAAAADaw/168FBZcvf3o/s1600-h/IMG_7215%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7215" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7215" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ESMJ8bhwFZI/Uk4wDfPoyBI/AAAAAAAADa0/F95QJjw21_M/IMG_7215_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>To say Becca was excited would be the understatement of the year. This is the only morning that she has ever been ready and waiting on us! This sweet girl was ready to meet her baby brother!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--7LXIV4edU8/Uk4wD4_O8PI/AAAAAAAADbA/_D2O5vm3eGY/s1600-h/IMG_7217%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7217" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7217" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-OMxB66stiBk/Uk4wEXvdk5I/AAAAAAAADbE/KKOZ2Yt0CBQ/IMG_7217_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kTbW4pBU24w/Uk4wFGOQLRI/AAAAAAAADbQ/sYVfrAWTwdM/s1600-h/IMG_7218%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7218" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7218" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4tMqKHIFag4/Uk4wFr3Zq5I/AAAAAAAADbU/liKGjBcVYQ0/IMG_7218_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>We each took a picture with B right before we left (swollen face and all!) </p> <p>We headed for the hospital with big sister in tow. My mom met us there so she could take her once I went back for my C-section. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjWV8_6jvW3g1jmXr_3bBA5DIE_lirdFJd_T1XkzvlNwY5lDIhiHI7EvBGFQ9GA6Ud1Okmu8H7_rlOgUb2Tn_4UXpq3cTJB7sjOhSCfZHCLgYDcM_niR8wifJoep9Gxlet7PsH-qweG7q/s1600-h/IMG_7219%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7219" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7219" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YG1PbosrWtY/Uk4wGgBKE1I/AAAAAAAADbk/NJFUFYqWIWY/IMG_7219_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>Big sister led the way into the hospital. </p> <p>As soon as we got to labor & delivery, they put us in our post-partum room. It was THE smallest room on the floor. Evidently everybody in the greater Columbia area decided to have babies in the days prior to this. I was a little upset by this, but tried not to get too worked up. They immediately got me changed, hooked up to my I.V., and then the waiting began.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoEguIh49VnicysYdA6M_sINnSDuyybm15Zq6DdHORe-vkXUVYQHqiDB-jRveXKyWILLgoSqrOkbbsOXH8LSkMk8xK_vhsYDxAMTzCp6InnM4g0WgVougVnQE80p9Ncs2a9Pp7tQby___C/s1600-h/IMG_7222%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7222" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7222" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-h6AX_9lBiq8/Uk4wIfktBYI/AAAAAAAADb0/N24nBJX1Pks/IMG_7222_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>We took one last picture as a family of three. I’m pretty sure it was this point that I started to get nervous. The whole ‘having your stomach cut open while you’re awake’ was really getting to me! </p> <p>Around 8:30 they took me back to pre-op. I was shocked at how fast everything was happening. We met with the anesthesiologist, the nurse anesthetist, and Dr. Estes. Everything was right on time, until about 5 minutes before they were supposed to take me back. Dr. Estes got called in to deliver another baby, and then he had to do another surgery. No worries – JP and I took horrible pictures of each other!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMD_gAuI0tcgCnWiaRmG8RrdGy101RZIXsXjG6l3LdR9Ub0b_h8lisM46ENbTuH3GskDAbxxPEmemHq8OKyn3DMEuJIocCT4OXNyHvGYf6_8O-ucU5S9UK05c6KHnmuipq5k3kv_fPfhrb/s1600-h/IMG_7223%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7223" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7223" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3kIOa2O7IYo/Uk4wJd8QqCI/AAAAAAAADcE/Njx7p0cyCvo/IMG_7223_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1Az91zIqKtCNjHYn_CKgGMdR0rJrkWePHegVQs1uSm1vL6MnwPhZyZevunbft_ieOkZSF2jvLc2iYibR3R7xQ4gr5uaxOUSvceDOIgs4Jb8uKgMhyZCDlvYKoCt7zZP8bJVoqEfe4_ML/s1600-h/IMG_7225%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7225" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7225" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7iXFkDryoj4/Uk4wKcD9TOI/AAAAAAAADcU/J3VjsVoHhqA/IMG_7225_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>Finally, about 9:45, it was our turn! They took me back to the OR. JP had to wait outside while they did the spinal. This was probably the worst part because it took a little while for the anesthesiologist to get it. Without going in to too much detail, it’s not a whole lot of fun having someone continuously sticking you in the spine with a needle, and then wiggling it around trying to numb you. Once that was over, I wasn’t even worried about the C-section anymore!</p> <p>Dr. Estes and Dr. Brown-Price were the doctors, and they were great. As soon as the spinal was done, everything went really fast.

Not because of Walker, but because I was itching beyond belief. They put pain medicine in with the spinal, and it caused itching like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. While the pain was under control, I couldn’t sleep because I was miserable. Finally, around 4 AM, they gave me something that reversed the effects of the medicine. I finally got some relief and some sleep. After that, everything went well. On Saturday, they moved us to a larger room – thanks to one of the cleaning lady’s. When I tell you the room was the size of a large closet is in no way exaggerating!</p> <p>My pain was pretty manageable - until Monday – so I really got to enjoy my time with my family. We had more visitors, and we got to love on our sweet boy!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HTBTk_1nbpo/Uk4wmVmVvjI/AAAAAAAADjQ/4R7HL2EFh5A/s1600-h/IMG_7323%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7323" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7323" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-TkqOgrrA2FA/Uk4wm_4VEnI/AAAAAAAADjU/Wf4xnWf3mtc/IMG_7323_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p>(STILL swollen!)</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-XUuzFlCSGpc/Uk4wneRWowI/AAAAAAAADjg/wdoQuy8EqII/s1600-h/IMG_7336%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7336" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7336" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iNERGsbC4Go/Uk4wn2z8DoI/AAAAAAAADjk/yb_qZU_Nl9o/IMG_7336_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBaAtl06d4h3tJ_7VAkV8B4_XaNowO_c_kVeu9wiTDezYZEjVsiR3zr4XsGlmkIy0L6v6bfo-VSlMoOL9v3h9ELslDIu54GntYtHLuR_pmYYcH7c52f17p2DwJmqFj6vKzBO4ER7Mpco7-/s1600-h/IMG_7337%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7337" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7337" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-l-bH0Hv6SQo/Uk4wpKh7UuI/AAAAAAAADj0/I32uldEsfM0/IMG_7337_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-42FmO1UDME0/Uk4wpr_u36I/AAAAAAAADkA/yJn9h3pveJQ/s1600-h/IMG_7334%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7334" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbpV87_34vyOrq1Fqf5-PIuSSPyuh8x07fOqR9ZNLUsKZFh01jYnpIL8KXtmPQvusEXSi-JD77mtsZ_GvMA_kZP_w92pzZUbZ7vfUuYDUlfX6xSgP6PyGSe6oLXVRrYOwt2voq7TOcNgj3/?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hSWWE859XUQ/Uk4wqaxGX6I/AAAAAAAADkQ/1UBfyV6c89o/s1600-h/IMG_7340%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="IMG_7340" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="IMG_7340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzM_rPb7C0sbDszP688hQkKVf63QQBkpyIjy29HbUIdxMFD39Xc9nHCxQqhYYrkApXymK5ncSS58zzZn1CQeVCzOiAYPmc4gAUdsBARr3ZM-TuKNmDZvHhTRJAQ03nOyPRI5inSVm4OUiF/?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a></p> <p>Lala, Jason, Hayes & Griffin finally got to come meet Walker on Sunday.

Not to make excuses, but this pregnancy has really taken it out of me. <br />
Our sweet girl is full of life and sassiness and lots of personality. Here are her stats:<br />
weight: 38 pounds<br />
<ul>
<li>height: 37 inches</li>
<li>size clothes: 3T (mostly), but some 4T</li>
<li>childcare: Nat - she'll go to preschool next year</li>
<li>she is really smart - she knows ABC's, she can count to 20, she can recognize #'s 1-9, she has a HUGE vocabulary with words such as skyscraper and magenta:)</li>
<li>her current favorite tv shows are Sophia the First, Special Agent Oso, and Doc McStuffins</li>
<li> she loves to have books read to her - her favorite is <u>The Very Hungry Caterpillar</u></li>
<li>she has developed quite the imagination and loves to play with her dolls and stuffed animals with her stroller; she also loves to play with her kitchen and play food; the iPad is her absolute favorite</li>
<li>she loves to play outside; she has gone to the movies a few times and did pretty well; she also still loves the zoo and feeding the giraffes</li>
<li>she likes to ride her scooter, bike, and most importantly, the 4-wheeler with her Daddy</li>
<li>she has moved upstairs to her 'big girl room' and she LOVES it; that transition went very smooth</li>
<li>she loves music and will get her Daddy's iPad and play all different songs</li>
<li>she loves to dance and has quite the moves - she will begin tap and ballet at Dance Dept. in September</li>
<li>we are constantly working on manners, but I have faith that one day she will get it</li>
<li>she loves going to Bible class</li>
<li>she got to go to 2 different VBS's this summer and she loved them</li>
<li> </li>
</ul>
In June, our friends Josh & Aaron with <a href="http://joshuaaaronphotography.com/" target="_blank">Joshua Aaron Photography</a> did Becca's 3 year old pictures/family pictures/maternity session. They did a phenomenal job! Here are a few of our favorites:<br />

I am amazed at the little girl Becca has become. Three has definitely proven to be challenging, but as frustrating as it can be, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love her inquisitiveness and her love for learning. She keeps us laughing all the time! She is very excited about becoming a big sister. She kisses my belly and talks to Walker all of the time. JP and I both agree that we are most looking forward to seeing Becca meet Walker for the first time. I thank God for the miracle of our sweet girl, and I just pray that we will be the parents He wants us to be.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

To catch everyone up, at my 29 week appointment, my stomach was measuring 32 weeks, so they were a little concerned about his size. At my 31 week appointment, they did an ultrasound to get his measurements. They said he weighed 4 pounds 7 ounces at that point which put him in the 76%. Definitely NOT small, but they weren’t concerned. They said he may not continue to grow at the same rate, so there’s still a chance he will be average sized. </font></p> <p><font size="3">Today, we went to Wee See to get some pictures of our big boy. It was great to see him and how much he’s changed. It’s been about a week and a half since our last ultrasound, and according to the tech, he weighs 5 lbs 1 oz. He wasn’t very cooperative today – he kept his face turned towards my spine, and when he would turn his head, he kept his hands up. But we were still able to get some sweet shots:)</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lxvtjtMUjXw/Ue3TVXwT9dI/AAAAAAAADWU/sBOFmkik7sI/s1600-h/BABY%2525202013_8%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="BABY 2013_8" style="border-top: 0px;

Everything is going well except Walker is now measuring 3 WEEKS ahead of schedule. Yes, you read that right - 3 weeks. I feel like he is enormous, but I have to admit I was a little shocked when I found out he was measuring that far ahead. It looks like I'll be having another ultrasound at my next appointment in 2 weeks so they can check out just how big he is. I'm thinking he's going to be well over 9 pounds when he's born, but we'll see. I definitely am more miserable than I was with Becca at this point, but that could be because it's the end of June and HOT! Here's my current stats:<br />
<br />
<b>How far along?</b> 29 weeks<br />
<b>Weight Gain:</b> 15 pounds total<br />
<b>Sleep:</b> Not good - getting up at least 4 times a night to go to the bathroom. I'm also really uncomfortable laying down, so that poses a problem. He also likes to push on my lungs making me feel like I can' breathe. Let's just say sleeping could be better!<br />
<b>Best Moment this Week:</b> Hearing Becca talk to him. It seems like everytime I tell her he's moving, he stops as soon as she puts her hand on my stomach, but she still talks to him. It is so sweet to hear her tell him she loves him. I hope that doesn't change once he's here and doesn't leave:)<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> They have come back full force. I'm still wanting a lot of fruit like watermelon and peaches, but I still crave salt. I've also added sweets to the cravings (which is all I craved with Becca). Oh, and sweet tea!<br />
<b>Size:</b> According to my weekly emails he should weigh a little less than 3 pounds and be about the size of a cabbage, but according to my doctor he's a lot larger. We'll get back to this in two weeks when I go back.<br />
<b>Movement:</b> A LOT! He doesn't just kick and jerk, this child flips. His movements are so much stronger than Becca. It still amazes me! He also moves all day. There is not really a certain time that he moves, except when I lay down. It never fails - I lay down, he goes crazy! At least those 'kick counts' that the doctor asks me to do are easy. I just have to make sure he moves 5 times in an hour each day - I can usually cross this off my list before I get out of the bed in the mornings:)<br />
<b>Randoms:</b> We are down to 10 weeks before we meet this little guy! That doesn't seem like very long. We really need to get ready for this little guy. With Becca I had her nursery DONE by this point, but poor Walker, I just haven't been on the ball. I guess it's just how you are with number two! We are very excited to meet him - I still can't believe we have a little boy on the way!<br />
<br />
Here's a picture of my stomach, and yes I'm aware it's huge! I also cut my head off because I feel like my face is swelling. JP says it's not, but bless his heart, he has to say that. Right? <br />

I MAY have drank 1/2 a Coke prior to the appointment in an attempt to make sure Walker was 'up and moving' - bad idea. He was so active, the ultrasound took an hour because the ultrasound tech couldn't get him to be still long enough to look at and measure everything she needed to. Oops. We did get a good look at him though, and it really never gets old. I'm still amazed that there's a real baby in there. I mean I know there is because he moves ALL THE TIME, but seeing him just took my breath away.
The first thing I wanted to know (after hearing the heartbeat) was if we were 100% sure he was still a he!<br />

Well thank goodness he's not shy:) It's definitely a BOY!<br />
<br />
And despite him moving so much and constantly facing away from the camera OR covering his face, we were able to get a few other good shots! Here's our handsome man:<br />

Here's my current pregnancy stats:<br />
<b>How far along (at time of this ultrasound 2 weeks ago):</b> 23 weeks<br />
<b>Weight gain: </b>9 pounds since my first doctor's appointment, but I'm back at my original weight that I started at the day I found out I was pregnant.<br />
<b>Maternity Clothes?</b> Absolutely, although I have found that I can wear some of my summer dresses:)<br />
<b>Sleep:</b> I can't complain. It's not great, but at least I can still breathe when I lay down.<br />
<b>Best Moment this week:</b> Seeing our baby boy:)<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> These are really going away. Every now and then I'll crave something salty, but for the most part, I just eat like normal.<br />
<b>Gender:</b> It's still a BOY! Walker Brice Pyle<br />
<b>Size of the Baby:</b> At the ultrasound he was measuring 1 lb 7 oz.<br />
<b>Movement:</b> ALL THE TIME! This child is an acrobat. I think he likes to see how many ways he can flip and turn.<br />
<b>Randoms:</b> While doing the ultrasound, the tech kept going back to look at the stomach. I noticed that there were two black areas - one was his stomach because she had already pointed that out. I started to get nervous, but I try really hard not to be 'one of those'. The tech finally said she <i>thought</i> she knew what the other dark area was, but she wanted to get the opinion of another tech. She left the room for what seemed like an hour (although I'm pretty sure it was less than a minute), and she was smiling as she said it was all nothing to worry about. It was just his GALLBLADDER! Really! What are the chances. This poor child doesn't stand a chance. Evidently you don't normally see the gallbladder of a baby in utero. Only my child:)<br />
<br />
And just for fun, here are some comparisons of Becca and Walker. Becca's ultrasound was done at 21 weeks and Walker's was done at 23 weeks, but they were close enough. <br />

I'm definitely thinking they don't look alike, but I guess we won't really know until he's here.amanda pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07880553134365203842noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771029424468700500.post-21201996712901894822013-05-07T18:26:00.000-04:002013-05-07T18:26:00.794-04:0020 weeks and countingSo, this post is 2 weeks late, but that's mostly because I can't figure out how to blog from my iPad. O'well, better late than never. Here's a comparison shot of me at 20 weeks with Walker (on the left) and at 21 weeks with Becca (on the right).<br />

<br />
I feel like my stomach is huge, and this picture just reiterates my thinking. <br />
Anyways, Dr. Estes said everything looks great. I'm measuring right on time, and we'll do our next ultrasound at 23 weeks (next week) to check on everything. Overall, I'm feeling MUCH better! Thanks to everyone who's prayed for me - for a while there I didn't think I was going to make it. Here are my stats:<br />
<b>How far along?</b> 20 weeks (at least I was in the picture)<br />
<b>Weight gain/loss?</b> I've gained 6 pounds since my 1st doctor's appointment, but I'm still down about 6 or 7 pounds from the day we found out. YAY! I'm pretty sure with Becca I had already passed the 20 pound mark!<br />
<b>Maternity clothes?</b> Yes - About 16 weeks I hit the point of no return. I needed them much earlier in this pregnancy.<br />
<b>Sleep?</b> I'm sleeping, but it's not great. I'm a stomach sleeper, so I struggle with that during pregnancy.<br />
<b>Best Moment This Week?</b> hearing that heartbeat - it was in the 140's. That sound never ceases to be amazing!<br />
<b>Cravings?</b> Red meat (especially steak), vegetables, and salt:) Totally opposite from my cravings with Becca.<br />
<b>Gender?</b> It's a BOY! At least it had better be:)<br />
<b>Size of Baby? </b>the size of a banana (at 20 weeks)<br />
<b>Movement?</b> This child moves like crazy!!!! JP was able to feel him at 17 weeks, and Becca a few days later. He moves a lot when I first lay down at night - so much that you can watch my stomach move. He also kicks a lot if I sit in certain positions. He definitely prefers for me to be standing or laying. <br />
<b>Randoms:</b> I haven't actually thrown up in a few weeks, so that's definitely a positive. I had an ultrasound done of my gallbladder at 12 weeks, and we found out that while I don't have gallstones, I do have 'sludge'. Yuck! For those of you who aren't aware, gallbladder problems run rampant on my Mom's side of the family. I knew it was just a matter of time before they hit me, I just wish it wasn't while I was pregnant since there's not much they can do. Thankfully they've started me on a fantastic reflux medicine that seems to help a lot. I just have to be really careful what I eat.<br />
Check back next week - I'll be sure to post pictures of what Walker looks like now:)amanda pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07880553134365203842noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771029424468700500.post-90381638808372847722013-05-03T23:01:00.001-04:002013-05-05T20:45:57.238-04:00Now I lay me down to sleepI'm writing this tonight because I want to remember sweet moments like this forever.
Tonight, while putting Becca to bed, we ended our nightly routine. I always begin our prayers with the ever popular:
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Angels guard me through the night,
and keep me safe til morning light.
I will then begin thanking God for various blessings in our life, and that's when Becca will begin interjecting her prayer requests. Tonight, this is what she prayed:
"Thank you God for airplanes and skyscrapers."
(side note - I had to stop and ask her what she thought skyscrapers were)
"Thank you God for dogs. Thanks you for Molly Brown, Jack, and Grace. Thank you for our baby in Mommy's tummy."
(She stops at this point to talk to Walker for a few seconds.)
"Thank you for our tummies and our pants. Mommy, is baby Walker trying to get out of your belly button?"
Me - No baby. Let's keep praying.
"Ok, thank you God for baby Walker growing big in Mommy's tummy. Don't come out until you get big! Ok, Mommy! Now you pray."
My heart melts when I hear her talking to God through prayer. I've prayed since I found out I was pregnant with her that she would know God and have a relationship with Him. While many of her 'thank you God for...' are silly, it reminds me of her innocence and how much we take for granted. When was the last time you thanked God for your pants?amanda pylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07880553134365203842noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771029424468700500.post-25588444601638190002013-04-16T22:08:00.000-04:002013-04-16T22:08:34.198-04:00Kids say the darndest things...Now that we officially have a 3 year old in our house, we are constantly laughing. Laughing at what she says, what she does, and the looks on her face. Sometimes I have to laugh to keep from crying, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Since JP and I live with the comedian, I thought I would share some of our conversations from tonight in attempt to share the humor with the rest of the world.
Dinner conversation:
Let me set the scene: Becca was quite full of herself and wasn't really acting appropriately at the dinner table. If it must be known, she was being quite the smart aleck, so JP made an attempt to correct this:
JP: "Becca, you need to sit in your seat and watch your mouth!"
Becca: "When you talk like that, you make God sad. You need to tell Him sorry!"
Nothing like having the "God" card pulled by the 3 year old!
Conversation 5 minutes later when we realized Becca had stepped in dog poop and had it on her shoe:
JP (in all of his maturity): "Ewww, you have poop on your shoe!"
Becca (with her arms crossed): "Daddy, that's not very nice! You need to say sorry to your little girl!"
I'm not sure where she gets this stuff!
And then to end on a sweet note, below is our conversation after I read her the story 'God Gave Us You.'
Me: "God gave you to us."
Becca: "Yeah, because you and Daddy didn't have a little girl and you needed one."
Me: "That's right. And you'll always be our little girl."
Becca: "Yes, and I'm never going to leave you!"
Be still my heart! It's moments like these that make the sassy mouth bearable!

<span style="font-size: large;">J<span style="font-size: large;">P</span> and I chose to wait and find out the sex of the baby with our families, so we had to keep our eyes closed for several minutes during the ultrasound. Our sweet Lala went with us, so she was the only one who knew what this baby was for the first few hours. I thought all along that this baby was a boy, but JP felt just as <span style="font-size: large;">strong that</span> it was a girl<span style="font-size: large;">. We <span style="font-size: large;">chose to<span style="font-size: large;"> do a balloon release so we could all find out <span style="font-size: large;">together, and it was a lot of fun. Below are the pictures from that day, and also the video of the th<span style="font-size: large;">e families' reaction! Too funny!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
