Someone is having a very serious conversation with himself!

Army Crawler

A look back on our little army crawler from a few weeks ago. Now he is a speed demon at regular crawling!

8 months and counting!

Life is busy in the Walker house! Karson started with army crawling and has now graduated to full one speed crawling! Conan is afraid. Very afraid. Now that Karson has some (2 and 1 on the way) teeth, he is also eating TONS of food.  

This is the perfect size dump truck for me! Thanks Cousin Cory!

I'm so happy to be out of Buffalo and in sunny Florida!

What was that Uncle Adam? You want tno babysit for a whole week?

Ella is showing Karson what how real babies move.

Another JetBlue fan. Those TVs are amazing.

Yeah! Easter Basket!

Looking classy in my bowtie. I know you're thinking that I look cool with my sleeves rolled up, but this is really a shirt for a 3 month old that my mom jammed me into.

Easter morning family photo (minus Conan)

I mustache you a question: will you ever be as cool as me?

If you ever give me peaches again, it is over between us.

I love to eat so much that I can't contain my excitement! I might just fly away. (See video below).

La La Land...

Having a 6 month old that hasn't transitioned to food yet means you take him (and your mom) with you on a business trip...even if that means it is 3000+ miles away.

Rob and I both work at Fisher Price and for the first time in almost 5 years we had to travel at the same time. Luckily it was to the same place...and a gorgeous place at that! See below for pics from our trip to lovely Terrenea Resort located just outside of LA in Palos Verdes.

For my 6 month birthday I will be taking myself to LA.

I'm pretty sure he's thinking "did you really have to make my first flight a 5 hour flight to Phoenix?"

Hey you, look at me!

                                                          The walking trail at the resort.

                                                 Getting ready for my first day with Gammy!

                                     What's the male word for "diva"...because that's what I am.

Best lunch break ever!

Hey where's my margarita?

                                                     The view from one of the many walks with Gammy.

                                                                           Free time!

                                              I'm pretty sure Rob is telling me not to slip.

The trip ended up not being as bad as we thought. Big shout out to Gammy for being on duty for 5 days and nights straight! And to Grandma & Gramps who babysat the unruly brother. (Conan)

Cristmastime!

I know it's now February and I am just now posting Christmas pictures, but I figure there's never a bad time for Christmas pics, right?

Thanksgiving to Christmas as a 4 month old pretty much means you get dressed up in as many ridiculous outfits as possible. I think we all enjoyed this.

A baby that doesn't sleep isn't on the naughty list because Santa found Karson in Rochetser and SPOILED him!

But first, the outfits...

The perfect pair of pajamas for the month of December.

Day Care loved dressing him up as an elf!

"Mom this is so embarassing. I'm pretty sure you put this on the dog last year."

A little toy soldier!

Reindeer outfit #1! (And evidence that he sleeps.)

                                                 He learned to tolerate the Santa outfit.

Following the Sokolowski tradition of Christmas Eve pajamas.

A sylish argyle sweater for Christmas Eve.

The ULTMIATE reindeer outfit for Christmas Eve day.

A trendy red bow tie, button down shirt and black velvet jacket (removed because of fussiness) for Christmas day. (You HAVE to dress up for Christmas!)

And of course the cutest bib!

Someone loved looking at the tree and ornaments!

Conan also was spoiled with a new dog bed the size of Montana.

Merry Christmas morning!!

The adorable outfit made by Grandma Walker!

This years version of Christmas dinner. (I think he's trying to steal a piece of Rob's prime rib.)

Merry Christmas!

I think someone likes opening presents...

Sophisticated in my monogrammed sweater...(thanks Gammy Sokolowski!)

His first Christmas was so fun! We didn't think it would be as exciting as it was at 4 months, but we were wrong! Santa and the Walkers made it special! There are about 4000 other presents pictures I want to post so you might see another Christmas post in March.

5 months and growing!

Month 5 has made everything a little more fun. There's rolling over, trying to fit entire footballs in our mouths and LOTS of laughter. Here's a few pics of what has been going on!

                                   Ooooo! My fingers are good! Now where is my thumb?



Nice and warm on our outing!

Look who's sitting in the big boy chair!

 

Everything is SO funny now!

 

                                       5 months and I can't stop sticking out my tongue!

                                                   All wrapped up for my ride to day care!

Making Christmas cookies for the first time! (after Christmas) :-)

 

2 viruses and an ear infection = antibotics that I DON'T like.

Omg a flying cow!

Thanksgiving in Kansas

I think the fact that there hasn't been a blog update since Erika went back to work pretty much explains how our lives have been...BUSY! We had Thanksgiving in Kansas, Christmas in Rochester and 2 viruses inbetween. Here's a few photos of our Thanksgiving in Kansas!

The start of our 17 hour journey...experienced Conan is awake because he knows what's ahead.

A happy baby for the entire 17 hours all because he woke up and saw his cow! (Thanks Ella!)


 

Karson gets baptized by the Pastor who married us! Of course he was perfect all through church until 10 seconds before we went up for the baptism when he pooped. Luckily cousin Ella was so entertaining from the audience that all of us ignored the smell.

We also had a Sokolowski family photo taken and of course the babies did not feel like smiling!

 

 

Uncle Adam is having way too much fun with Ella & Karson!

As you can see we tried SO hard to get him to smile!

"You all look foolish with your funny faces and sounds. I will not smile."

Photo shoots are EXH

"Is the photographer gone? Ok, then I'll smile."

 

Karson and Ella hanigng out...

 

Karson got fussy at dinner, so Dad put him on his head. The smirk on Karson's face pretty much says "Sucker! I got you to entertain me!"

 

"We know how dumb we look in these outfits!"

 

 

So that was Thanksgiving. Christmas is next!
