Circus

On Sunday, we took Will and Walker to the circus. Will loved it and was still the whole time. He found a pair of old sunglasses in his pocket and wore them for the first part of the show. We were at the ticket booth buying our tickets when this couple came up to us and gave us 2 free tickets. They were right there on the floor so we had really good seats. We bought the ridiculous $12 cotton candy and snow cones but it was worth every minute. Will's favorite part was the elephants and I thought I was going to have a heart attack watching the trapeze artists without nets.

Will is so funny!

Will loves an audience and loves to make funny faces and do anything for a laugh. We have so much fun together. I just really understand him and his motive in everything he does because I am goofy just like he is. Do you ever feel that way about your child?

My Curious, Accident Prone Baby

Here are a few pictures of our week. The boys are really starting to play together and it just brings so much joy to my heart to watch them.



I love this picture of Walker and Len. I love how he has his hand wrapped around this finger.


This past week Walker has jumped out of his crib, gotten his thigh stuck in the crib, learned how to crawl up the stairs, gotten into the toilet (with his hands swishing the water), and taken a complete nose dive-front flip and landing on his back off his changing table. I feel like a terrible mother!!! Will never did anything like this! To say that I have to watch him every second is an understatement. He is so curious about everything. He is going to have so many bruises on his head. Will never even hardly had a scratch on his body as a baby and toddler. I can only remember 2 times that he has ever even had a bruise/black eye. He's never even scraped his knee, but I think things are going to be different with my little Walker.
On to my other child~ poo poo is his absolute favorite new word. He has said it at least 200 times today. When his says it, it sounds like pew pew. Sometimes I wish someone could record my life for a day. Fun times~but I wouldn't trade it for anything!!! One thing that Will said this week that was just the sweetest thing I think I've ever heard from him. I babysit my neighbors little girl a couple days a week and I was changing her diaper and Will said, Mommy does L have a heart? and I said, yes she does and he said, Mommy, is God in her heart? and I said, yes he is and he said, I'm so glad God is in her heart. It was just so sweet to hear his thoughts. I know I talk about Walker all the time (it seems) because he is doing new things constantly, but Will has the sweetest most caring heart and I just love him so much for it, even when he thanks God for "poo poo" and bottoms.

Bath time

I hesitated on whether or not I should post this video. It does show a little bit of Walker's "naked" but it's just to cute not to post.

This is Walker's cheesy smile. It COMPLETELY melts my heart every time he smiles at us this way. He makes a little sound with it like he is blowing his nose. (That sounds gross, but it's the only way I can describe the sound).


I took this picture of the boys yesterday when they were both napping in our bed.

Christmas in Montgomery

Walker always thinks Allison is me and reaches for her. He figures it out once she is holding him, but I think this is hilarious. We really do look alike, although we didn't when we were little.

I treasure all of the sweet pictures my sister captures! I love this picture of Walker.

Uncle Edward and cousin Ford playing the Wii. Len got his fair share of playing time. I was a good little wifie and let him play a ton!

AW got a Barbie Jeep from Santa and buddy, this girl is he-l on wheels! She is not kidding around when she drives this thing and it scared Will to death. He made sure to buckle his seat belt and he finally wised up and decided it wasn't safe to ride with her anymore! ;)

Another sweet moment captured by Allison. Will has some great expressions with his eyebrows and she always captures them.

This is the way Walker eats cheerios or anything that he can get his hands on. It is so cute. Half the time he misses his mouth, but he has discovered the joys of food!

Will and AW sitting on my parents front porch in their matching outfits. Since we are both reps for the same children's clothes, my sister and I are always able to dress them alike. I know my time is almost numbered with Will, but we still have Walker!

My dad has the magic touch! These two pictures are my favorite.


We left for Montgomery on Christmas Eve. For some reason, every time we go to Montgomery something disastrous happens on the interstate. It drives me crazy! What should have been a four our trip took us almost 6! For the first 2 hours, we drove in a torrential downpour of rain and Len could hardly even see to drive. Then, we sat in stand still traffic for what seemed like an hour because a tree had fallen down in the road. When you have kids, a normal road trip is never normal. We had to stop a few times for different reasons and Walker was NOT happy most of the way down there. I was really excited about taking a little nap on the way but it's hard to nap with a crying baby. We finally made it to Montgomery and had a great time. I didn't take a single picture with my camera while I was down there, but my sister did so I am stealing some of her pictures to put in this post. We brought Will's bike down and he had so much fun riding it. It was 80 degrees the day after Christmas so we spent a lot of time outdoors. I ate entirely too much! My mom always gets a friend's mother to make a red velvet cake and it is so delicious!! I think I ate half the cake and I'm paying for it now. As always, we had a great time with the cousins. Ann Welch (We elch) as Will calls her now and Will fought like brother and sister the whole time, but were so sad when they had to leave each other. I even talked Ann Welch into spending the night with us one night. She thought she was getting to go back to Nashville with us and when she found out we weren't going to Nashville, she said " I fink I might need to go back home to my mommy." I just acted like I didn't hear her and she did pretty good. Will got the movie Walle for Christmas and they watched it several times.

Christmas Morning

Our "Christmas morning" was actually Christmas eve, but Will and Walker were none the wiser. When we woke up, our power was out and we were a little worried about how we were going to handle that, but when Will woke up, he didn't even mention Santa or presents. I was pretty surprised after everything we had done the night before, but he didn't even remember. How strange!! but it worked for us because it bought us a little bit of time, hoping the power would come back on. We stayed upstairs for awhile and didn't mention Santa and I finally asked Will if he remembered who came to our house last night and he still didn't think about Santa. When we told him, he was ready to go downstairs so Len went ahead and opened all of the blinds so we would at least have a little bit of light. Will loved his new bike and train set. It took him awhile to really start opening his gifts, but we had a fun morning and he was so happy with his new toys. Walker loved playing with the wrapping paper. Here are a few pictures of our morning.

Our "Christmas Eve"

Tonight is our "Christmas Eve." Santa will be making a special early delivery at the Adcock house since we are going to Montgomery tomorrow afternoon and Santa just couldn't load Will's toys up to go to his grandparent's house. We ate our family Christmas dinner in the dining room, which was Will's request and he got to pick out which Christmas plate he would like to eat off of. He chose the Santa Claus plate. We gave the boys a bath and put on their Christmas PJs and let them open their present from their Aunt Heather, Uncle Ward and cousins, Gage, Davis and Tru. They loved their presents!! Walker especially liked eating the wrapping paper and Will played and played with his new tool set. Thank you! After we opened presents, we put reindeer food outside and baked Santa some chocolate chip cookies. What a fun night! Will is still awake watching his favorite show, Wow Wow Wubbzy (he is obsessed) and eating popcorn. I have a feeling it is going to be hard getting him to go to sleep. I can still remember being so excited the night before Christmas that I couldn't sleep. My sister and I would plan to stay awake all night and try to "catch" Santa in the act, but we never made it. We would always wake up at the crack of dawn and beg my parents to go see what we got. It is so much fun to have children and this is the first year that Will really understands and is excited about Christmas. I know there are a lot of pictures but I just couldn't help it!

Walker is spoiled by daddy

This is why my children won't sleep in their beds! HA HA Len has really spoiled Walker by holding him while he naps. I always put him down, but Len got off early today and held Walker while I made dinner and I walked in and thought this was the sweetest picture of him with his arms up by his ears. He is getting his second tooth and it has really been hard on him. He has gotten the worst case of diaper rash from this teething business and he is not handling it well. We have tried every remedy before calling the pediatrician and she told us to by Lotriman (which is for athlete's foot). I never would have thought of that but it seems to be working. She also told me to blow dry his bottom with a hair dryer every time I change his diaper, which has also been pretty comical. We have had a week this past week! Will had an ear infection (his first ever), I had pink eye and a cold, and Walker has had yucky eyes, runny nose and all of the above. This always seems to happen over the holidays, but we are all better now!

Walker is 8 months

Another month has flown by and that puts us closer and closer to Walker's first birthday! This child is a BUSY bee.

He is in to EVERYTHING and crawling EVERYWHERE! He has been crawling for a month now and I sure wasn't expecting that. It's funny, because I just assumed he would do everything around the same time as Will, but he is his own self and has had his own timing for everything. I LOVE IT!
Here are a few things that he is doing and getting into. This is for me to remember one day.
cords
pieces of paper on the floor
drawers
cabinets and crawling into small places
Will's toys
wants to be standing up ALL the time
pulling himself up anywhere he can
typing on the computer
has his first tooth
wanting bites of our food
wanting big brother's popsicles
wiggling so much that we can barely change his diaper or clothes
loving his bath and pulling up in the bathtub
saying what sounds like "hey"
loving real sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, bananas, cantaloupe, avacado, bananas, crackers and bread. He loves them all, but he won't eat babyfood
only wants his paci for sleeping and the car
crying a horrible, sad, pitiful cry when his big brother takes a toy away from him, knowing he will get it back when he cries that way
is reaching out for us
doesn't cry in the car anymore-Yeah!!
is spoiled rotten with lots of hugs, love and kisses.
pats me on the back several times when I get him out of his bed
likes to eat paper or put anything in his mouth that he can get his hands on
grunts and kind of whimpers when he wants something
likes to stand at Will's train table and play
is feeding himself foods that he can grab. It is so cute because he always misses his mouth when he's trying to put the food in there.
Is rolling over from stomach to back now.
has had a horrible cough and cold for a few weeks now, along with the teething, and it hasn't been much fun!
We just love this baby boy to death and he just makes life so wonderful!

Will's Christmas Program and video

No need for words with this!

Sunday Pics

Here are a few pictures of the boys after church on Sunday. I thought they turned out pretty cute. Walker just got his first tooth so he is drooling pretty bad. He loves to stand up against the couch. Our couch is starting to look BAD!

Gingerbread Houses at BHCC

Last Sunday we had a great time making gingerbread houses at church. We let Will design his project completely on his own, much to his father's dismay! Ha ha
Will and his buddy Lawton. Doesn't that just make you want a glass of milk right now?

Will admiring his work.

Walker ate so many of the graham crackers that were meant for the gingerbread houses. He loved them! It was his first taste of graham crackers and they did not disappoint.

Making a house with Brooke.

Working hard with daddy.
