Go AWAY!!!

Not you...ha..ha...the VIRUS needs to evacuate my house pronto! Whit came down with "something" on Sunday. He has run a pretty high fever everyday this week. At times, he has been just pitiful. Then at others he is is crawling (and half walking) around the house laughing. A sick baby is so sad. He has been to the doctor and they said it was a virus. I called today and we decided it was still a virus, maybe the flu. In August? Seriously, we get croup in July and the flu in August? Such is life I guess....hopefully we are in the homestretch. I know poor Whit is ready to feel better. We miss our little boy full of smiles! Although I did get a lot of those today! :) Here are a few pics of one night this week in between fevers. Thank you God for baby motrin. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Where's Kennedy? Who shut this door in my face?

Try to keep a 2 year old and a one year old apart when one is sick. Seriously, that is a task that cannot be done around here!

My sweet boy and those "sick" eyes...poor thing! Go AWAY VIRUS!!

Whit's first steps!!

Finally got some on video!! :) Here he is taking his first steps! I know I am posting a lot on Whit tonight...he is just changing so fast. I want to remember these moments. They fly by too fast!!!

Daddy's Home!

I was attempting to get a video of Whit walking last night and caught this moment. It makes my heart happy. This is all for you Greg. Can you imagine that pure joy? mmmmmm.....sweet, sweet baby!

Taking steps!!

This is bitter sweet for me. I have these images of my two children playing in the backyard this fall. They can run and play....mmmm...sounds so nice. Then I have the thought of my BABY not being a baby anymore but a toddler. Most of the time I feel like Whit might be my last baby. (Sorry to my future baby if you come one day.....mommy loves you too. ) So, I think about letting go of babyhood forever which is sad, yet exciting as well. All this to say, Whit is taking lots and lots of steps lately!! I went into K's room tonight with him like this....

Playing...

And he's up....pusing the grocery cart across the room. I take the cart and he walks across the room to get it from me. ACROSS THE ROOM!!!!
My big boy...growing up too fast. I yelled for Greg to get the video camera. Disc full, it says. Seriously? So all I have are these pics and my moment. You are growing up too fast Whit. I am so, so proud of you. Keep stepping...you'll get it!!

I'll keep you updated on the walking status. I give him a month and he'll be running!! :)

My girls

In case you were wondering if Riley is still around, here she is! :) The girls were snuggled up watching Cinderella tonight. I have a soft spot in my heart again for Riley. She loves my children. I should really be nicer to her. If she would stop getting on top of my kitchen table I might stop yelling at her. :)

His FIRST hair cut!!! :)

Bye, bye rat tail! Bye, bye hair in the face!! Whit went in for his very first hair cut yesterday. Mrs. Pat had the honor of giving both my babies their first hair cuts. Or, I guess we should say we are honored...it is not everyone that gives kisses and haircuts. It is very special to have someone that loves your babies be a part of a first for them. So, thanks Mrs. Pat!!! :) Here are a few pics. Whit was not super excited about it at all. I held him the whole time. Scissors and a baby are a dangerous combo. Kennedy was a little older for her first cut...a one year old is hard to hold still!

Are you really ready for a hair cut when you still need a paci? :)

This one is my favorite...bribery with his paci...such a Whit thing!

Not so sure about this...

Precious...doesn't it look precious?!!!

Almost done! We didn't get a final one at the salon. Why is that Greg? Never give a man a camera at important moments!

The finished product!!! Doesn't he look like such a big boy?

And not to forget my little vain princess....she had a little trim as well. She sat still and enjoyed the entire experience. My little high maintenance child.....and she talked about how beautiful she was. Am I creating a monster here? :)

Enjoying every minute!
