Bed Head

This is what we found when Walker woke up from his nap this evening:



That's what you call wild hair.

And, to make it even more funny.... I swear, I think this is only picture I have in Walker's 11 months where he looks unhappy:



I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that one... it's like he's saying, "Mommy, please don't take my picture right now." But, only a few seconds later, his usual smile was back:

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can't believe today is 2010! Time flies when you're having fun.

2009 was such an amazing year for the Woods. I can't believe we are about to have Walker's first birthday. Like I said, time flies.

Walker has brought us more joy than we can even imagine. We find ourselves saying things like "we have the best baby in the world", "is there a cuter kid out there?", and "what did we do before he was around" each and every day.

And, just think... come June we will feel even more blessed with another addition to our family.

We will always look back at 2009 as one of the best years of our lives and I'm hopeful that we will feel exactly the same way about 2010!

Happy New Year to all our friends and family!

Walker's First Christmas Part 2

It's time to continue with our fun Christmas festivities! We went to Lufkin on Christmas Day to celebrate with the Wood side.

Walker was adorable, as usual:



He got lots of really fun presents and had a great time playing with all his cousins:



And, playing with Bubba:



And, playing basketball:



And, learning to walk:



And, being a little elf with Nanna:



On my side, Walker ends up with TCU gear... on Clark's side, he ends up reading about Texas tailgating food!



More fun with Aidan... showing off his touchdown trick:



Nanna and Bubba and most of the grandkids:



Walker with his great-grandmother, Mama Ru:


Again, I find myself loading tons of pictures with very little commentary... not my favorite thing to do, but with events as big and exciting as Walker's first Christmas, I guess it's better to let the pictures tell the story!

I think he loved every minute of it! And, we definitely did. Like I said before... Christmas with a child is so much more fun!!!!!

Walker's First Christmas

Two apologies... #1, sorry for the lack of blogging. #2, sorry for the huge number of pictures today. #2 explains #1. We've been busy.

This holiday season has been a whirlwind. Lots of family time and lots of fun. And, it's official... Christmas is more fun with a child!



Our first family Christmas was at our house with the Snow side:







Walker had a great time with his cousins Savannah, Carson and Ryder.

And, he enjoyed a few laughs with his great-grandmother, Memaw.



Then, the next day we went to Bentwater to celebrate with Bunny and RayRay.









I think Walker is ready for the Fiesta Bowl! And, so is his cousin, Ryder! Go Frogs.



Okay, next celebration... back to our house for Christmas Eve with Bunny and RayRay and Frosty and Linda.





And, of course, Walker's first Christmas morning!





I really don't like to add so many pictures with such little commentary to one blog, but oh well! And, get this... I'm not even done yet. We are in Lufkin right now, so I'll add another blog with the Wood side celebration soon!

(oh, and a side note... Clark and I got a new camera and it is fantastic, therefore I have lots more pictures to go through because we can't stop taking pictures!!!)

Touchdown!

As we all know this college football season has been FABULOUS for the Wood house. The Longhorns and Horned Frogs are undefeated, one team is playing for the national championship and the other still gets a good bowl. (Not a good opponent, but I won't get into that right now)

Anyway, I attribute this fabulous football season to our amazing son. I mean seriously, he's only been alive for one season and look what has happened!

So, today is a day of mourning in our house... a Saturday with no college football. Distressing. The bowls are great, but we have to wait for them... and, we don't get 20 games in one day. That's what we like around here.

But, here's a video of Walker to cheer us up and prove that he is our son.

Mr. Silly

Walker cracks us up. Seriously, his little personality grows each and every day and he just makes us laugh!

I'm not sure where this came from:



Tonight he decided he'd rather have his socks in his mouth instead of on his feet. He thought he was pretty hilarious.

What else does he find hilarious? Rolling over and crawling away while getting his diaper changed. It has become a two person job... one has to hold him down while the other attempts to get a new diaper on. Well, Clark and I did our best tonight, but this is what it looked like:



Have you ever seen a cuter little butt cheek?!?! The shocking thing... he actually stayed dry!

Walker's First Snow

I figured Walker wouldn't see snow until we decided to take him to Colorado or Utah or some other exotic ski place. But, our little 10-month old got to see snow... in Conroe... in early December! So fun.



You can't tell because the camera didn't seem to pick it up, but it was really coming down. I figured Walker would be indifferent to it, but he loved it! He kept sticking out his tongue to eat it!





We'll see how long it lasts... if we get more good pictures, I'll posted Walker's First Snow Part 2!
