January through April!

It's been sooo busy! We are adjusting our "new normal" with three kiddos! Wow! What a kick in the pants! Aric was such an easy baby and Avery was such an easy toddler that the timing there was flawless! However, with Addy in the newborn stage and Aric at the toddler stage, it took some major adjusting to these adorable, but demanding kiddos! Here are some updates of our past couple months as a family of five!

Addyson is 4 months old! Crazy how time flies! I'll be honest...she is quite the change from having Aric (baby stage). Addyson thinks she is either the first child or was meant to be the ONLY child. She wants to be held 24/7, and still doesn't understand that Mommy has two other demands during the day:) The newborn stage was difficult with Addyson...she really wanted to be loved all the time and had some belly problems. After going on a non-dairy diet with nursing, we finally realized her belly would just need time to adjust since nothing seemed to really calm her belly pains. As she has grown, her belly is adjusting as well. She has been a MUCH happier baby, and has a smile that melts hearts. She looks soo much like her sister as a baby. Sometimes I wonder why Addyson looks so familiar to me, and the features she shares with her sister make me feel like I'm raising Avery...again! I feel soooo connected to Addyson. it's like we have had her our entire lives. Daddy loves that Addy is maturing and able to respond to him! We are so in love with her. I can't imagine our family without this little love. She's a little baby (1st percentile for weight, 27th for height), but like all the Walker children, mighty in spirit. They think she may crawl early (really?! not ready for that!), but we'll see. We hope she gets to meet more of you soon!

I LOVE her smile! She is soo expressive!

Ready for church!

Happy girl!

Her doctor thinks her eyes will go brown! Crazy with all of our light eyed kiddos!

Love you Addyson!

 Avery is the BEST big sister! I don't know what I would do without her! She helps me feed, entertain, and bathe Addyson every day. She is getting to be such a big girl, and has taken on her "role" as big sister beautifully. Avery is doing sooo well in preschool, and has lots of new little friends that are special to her. She loves to have sleep overs with "Bepa" and pretty much manipulates him into getting anything she desires. I can't believe how responsible Avery is. She really is like parenting a 16 year old without the attitude. I know things can always change, but we are really enjoying our precious little girl and her sweet little heart!

She looks sooo much older when she has me straighten her hair. I want my blonde curly haired little girl forever!

On our way to Bella's princess party!

 

My sweet girls!

Avery and Aric are sooo good with Addy!

Aric is sooo much work, and worth every minute of craziness! He makes us laugh so many moments of the day, and has so much personality I sometimes think there is something wrong! He is SUCH a boy! Everything, and I mean everything, is a weapon of some sort. He shoots everything...if there's a stick...it's a gun. I think in his world he truly believes he is a super hero. The other day he jumped from the top of the playground at the park instead of sliding down the slide. After, he turned to me and said, "See dat mom? I got stwong muscles!" He also took on an eight year old at the park swinging at the kids belly with his tiny fists. If he is disciplined, he really thinks he can blow me away like Iron man. However, with all of that crazy energy and roughness, he is such a sweet boy. He begs me to "lay wif (with) him" every night. He is so attached to his Daddy, and LOVES to have attention from either of us. He begs us to scratch his back at night, and if he thinks he hurt my feelings, he's quick to give me "mooches". He is talking, talking, talking ALL the time. He is so verbal and says the funniest things. Though he tends to annoy Avery 50% of the time, he totally adores her and they play so well together (and fight well too!). He also ADORES his little sister, Addy, and often squeezes her cheeks and kisses all over her to remind her constantly (too much love for Addy sometimes). We love our little man!

Easter!

Aric LOVES his DADDY!

He loves his sister!

He looks so cute with his backpack!

On our way to a party! Smiling normal is NOT an option!

"CHEESE!"

Aric will never smile "normal"

 

Our little man on his Easter egg hunt...love him!

   Easter was so much fun! We had family up to our house and a wonderful dinner at my parent's house!
