I just had to share this sweet picture!

Protective Puppy

Walker is almost 12 weeks old and our sweet puppy still isn't sure what to make of him. For more than six years Remy was the only "baby" and she isn't coping well with having to share her time.

BUT, I do think she might be coming around.

Most of you have heard the stories of Remy and thunder. It scares her to death. In fact, she once tried to eat an entire door during a storm. She literally shredded the bottom of my bedroom door in Tyler during a storm while I was at work.

Well, she still has those reactions, so she was in quite a state on Friday and Saturday. But something new happened during the storms over the weekend. She was in my lap and Walker was napping in his crib, when a huge clap of thunder shook the house. In the past Remy would just sit there and shake. Not this time, she jumped down and ran into Walker's room. I swear, she was trying to protect him! I thought it was so sweet.

Here's the crazy part... she stayed in there. She was able to situate herself where she could still see me in the living room, but she could also keep a watchful eye on her baby.

So, she might not actually like him, but she does feel the need to protect him. Progress!

Here's a picture of our little princess... have you ever seen a more spoiled dog!?

High Tech?

So, there's a question mark in the title... that's because I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing! I'm learning to take videos with the camera and trying to figure out if I can get them on the blog!

Hopefully this works!

Just had to Share

I love blogging and I love sharing about what's going on in the Wood House, but I have to admit... I didn't want this blog to be only about Walker.

That said, I have to share the new pictures I took today. I mean, who am I kidding... Walker is, by far, the most interesting thing in our lives!







Walker has such a precious personality! He's so happy. We gets tons of smiles and coos these days and we are loving every minute of it!!!

Happy Easter

Our little Easter bunny got to spend Easter weekend with lots of family! Walker got to hang out with his cousins at the farm in Lufkin and attend his first egg hunt.

He's already thinking about next year... he can't wait to run around and grab those eggs!

He had fun watching the older kids check out what was inside the eggs.


But his favorite part of the day... hanging out with the big Easter ducky.


Here are a few more pictures from our fun day!

Finally!

It took almost 10 weeks, but we finally got Walker's name on the wall! The "little man" room is complete!

Is That a Salad in Your Bra?

So, go ahead and file this blog under "Did I really need to know that?". I couldn't decide if I should even bring this topic up because it's so bizarre, but it's because it's so bizarre that I feel I should blog.

I have a salad in my bra. Well, not exactly a salad. Unless you consider green cabbage a salad.

There are so many things about pregnancy and motherhood that you don't really expect. Strange things start happening, but somehow you just roll with it. But, I'm having a hard time "rolling with" trying to dry up my milk.

Here's the deal... Walker is taking his formula so well, that we are done breastfeeding. While it's a very liberating feeling for me(can someone pass the champagne), it is also VERY painful.

Nobody told me how painful it would be. So, what can you do to ease the discomfort, you ask? Put some cold green cabbage in your bra, of course! Who knows why, but this is supposed to help. I will admit, when it's nice and cold it really does feel better, but I would think an ice pack would do the same thing. But, an ice pack isn't near as fun as pulling cabbage leaves off and figuring out how to place them!

Wow. I'm sure none of you will look at me the same again.
