Walker's Favorite Chair

Done with the chair and onto a book.

Gymnastics Class

Walker is now in his fourth week of gymnastics class. He loves all the gym apparatuses and he especially likes his instructor, Coach Joe. Here are some shots from today's class!


Walker's favorite part of class is getting star stamps on his feet when instruction is over.

"Please Hold it?"

Walker's words today when asking that he be allowed to hold Mackey. Love it!

Soda Fountain

Walker, Jack and I stepped into an old pharmacy on Knox the other day. The Highland Park Pharmacy still has the old soda fountain lining the east wall. Walker had a water and Jack ordered a Lemonade. Aren't they a couple of cutie-patooties?

Rain and Penguins

Happy Friday! Walker and I started our morning sitting in the parking lot of the Dallas Zoo. Why were we in the car? We were waiting. Waiting for the crazy downpour to abate! 25 minutes later, we're still in the car. So - we got bored, took our pants off and shot some photos.





Finally, the rain gave way and we headed into the zoo to meet our friends. Here's Walker with James Charles - Walker calls him Jay-Cee. Later, driving home from the zoo, Walker pretended his shoe was a phone and kept saying, "Alrighty Jay-Cee" followed by a fake-ish laugh that went something like, "ha ha ha". Here they are watching the flamingos.


And our little penguin friends: by far Walker's favorite animal at the zoo today. It was feeding time and they were all out in full force.

Guy Noir

FYI: Any of these photos can be made larger by clicking on the image.

It was a dark and muggy day and Guy Starr Noir was on the scene.

Then back to the office for some "research".

I'm having so much fun with our new camera. All of these black and whites were taken on the "grain film" setting. Gotta love a groovy digital camera!

Blocks

Walker and I have always been good buds. Sure, there have been moments when he was unhappy with me, but they always passed quickly because frankly, he was a baby. But today - really for the first time - Walker was mad at me. I was feeding Mackey a bottle and he was not happy that I wouldn't let him try some of her milk. I tried to explain to him that Mackey's milk was precious stuff and there was only so much of it. I tried to explain that if Mackey's mama were to sell her breast milk to a milk bank, she could get 16 dollars an ounce! For some reason, none of this mattered to Walker. He was mad because Mackey was doing something he couldn't and to top it all off, this feeding thing required all of Walker's mama's attention. Double whammy. Don't worry... we're friends again. I snapped this shot of Mr. Pout after he stomped off to the corner. "Fine", he seems to say, "I'm going to go sit in a pile of blocks."

As a peace offering, Mackey let Walker sit in her infant car seat.
