Two Months Old!

I am not sure how that is even possible. Time is really flying! I only have about 3 weeks left until I have to head back to work and I am trying to soak up every second I can with Walker between now and then. We found out last week that we got into our #1 choice for childcare after spending 12 weeks on the waiting list. I was very excited. After working in the business, I have seen what can go on in childcare. I was very picky and and asked a ton of questions, but the place we found seems to have when we are looking for! It is a family run business (VERY important to me) with strong christian values, low employee turnover and it is very close to my office. Walker will start there three days a week the Monday after Thanksgiving. He will spend every Wednesday and Friday home with his Daddy.

Walker is starting to become quite the entertainer. He coos and squeals and smiles constantly. We are still doing our song time as often as we can and he still loves it. Sometimes he even tries to sing along. He loves baths and getting his diaper changed. Honestly, I think he just likes to be naked!

Walker had quite a few adventures during his second month of life. First his Grandma Susie can to visit, then he visited a dairy farm and pumpkin patch. We also took his first road trip to meet his grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins in Iowa. We also stopped and visited with Aunt Diane and Uncle Craig and met Colin and Rachel in Moline and drove out to Des Moines to meet some very good friends of ours. It was so much fun showing off our little man, and he was wonderful. He was a trooper in the car and handled the change in schedule like a pro. We had a very good time and look forward to more trips out west next year.

Ryan and I have so much fun with Walker. He is an absolute joy. I can't wait to see what new adventures lie ahead!

Here are a few highlights from the past month
