Good. Better. Best.

I have the worlds best husband. No, really. He may be thousands of miles away from me, but he still knows how to melt my heart. (Cheesy, huh?)

David has been a beast. He has been sick, so it's not his fault. But the poor thing is having a hard time eating/drinking his bottle. He wants to feed himself, and doesn't. What are some good finger foods for babies? He absolutely hates the bugger sucker...and I hate having to use it on him.

Anyways, I put David down for his nap and was just lying on my big empty bed when the door bell rang. I came down the stairs, Dana was opening the door and there was a flower delivery lady standing there saying "I have a delivery for Rachel." Yes, of course they are gorgeous flowers, but the note is what got me:

Thanks mom for taking care of me while I was sick.

I may cry a lot at you but, I just love you.

I love you mommy.

Thanks for being her with me, mommy.

Love David (& Dad)

Precious. Perfect. Just what I needed. Thank you Mark for the sweet note and beautiful flowers! See you in just 3 short months! Love you!

I like Dr. Seuss

Back in November when Mark was in Kuwait he was able to go to the USO (which I love by the way!) and record himself reading a Dr. Seuss book and mail the DVD as well as the actual book to us. This is probably the least weird Daddy thing (along with Daddy doll)...and David loves it. I call it his Daddy movie and we watch up frequently.

Random side note: I am back to taking pictures of my little pants less man!

Never ceases to amaze me

I wonder if David knows how he is sleeping, or plans it out just to give me a good laugh.

Of course, minutes after this was taken, he was in a more "normal" sleeping position. But I am glad I was able to capture it!

Love of all things

David has not been eating his "normal" amounts since he has been sick. I decided to try cereal with him...the krispies were too small to pick up, but the box was just right :-)

Sick

We like to share in our family...especially extended family. Randy & Kennedy had colds...which they were so gracious to pass on to us. I told Amy last night that our relationship wasn't going the way I had planned :-) Anyways, David and I both got colds, but to make matters worse, David also has an ear infection. It is just so sad. Hopefully in just a few more days he will be feeling better and no one else gets sick...uh, Walker clan, I hope you survive the stomach bug and also get feeling better and maybe we can just skip sharing this?

David is a pretty funny kid, especially when he is sick. It's almost like he is slap happy. Nonetheless, we'll keep him and try to keep him healthy.

3 more months! Love you!

Where'd that come from?

David loveslittle crunchies. They are a still in our house, something I have had to stock up on because he will eat them at every meal if allowed. Sometimes when he is playing in the kitchen, he will see the container on the counter and start whinning andmoving his arms like a mad man. I really need to be better about putting them out of sight.

Anyways, I went in to get David from his nap the other day, and there it was:

I have absolutely no clue how it got there, and it wasn't there when I put him down. Some people say I starve him, so maybe he was just storing it for a quick snack when he got up. Don't worry, it went to its rightful place...in the mouth

Spring is around the corner...?

We have been loving this warm weather! It gives me some hope that spring is not to far away. Because it has been so nice out, we have been going on daily walks. David is happy and content sitting in the stroller, looking all around, twisting, with some noises here and there.

Remember my post about my stroller seat being broken? Well, apparently, the Abbington color has been discontinued. I now have a total of 3 different seat backs and 2 different (matching) canopy/basket. I think I am going to stick with the second one I received. Guess I need to get more serious about finding a jogging stroller.

David and I have nasty colds, but I think Davids might be something else, so its back to the doctor.

Hope you all have fabulous week! Hug your family and enjoy the simple things in life.

We love you!!!
