It's raining it's pouring....

Well what better to do on a rainy day, but go out and play in the puddles! Davis and I left the gym this am with our rain boots on (I carried my tennis shoes in so I wouldn't squeak the entire workout) and decided the puddles were too big and too exciting to not stomp in them. We headed home and continued the fun in our lake of a yard. Davis loved jumping like a rabbit and a frog in all the puddles. Davis was really cooperative with the camera until the end and he decided that he needed to take some pics. Bet you can't guess which ones he took. (the ones of us!) We were covered in leaves, mud, sand and water so we headed in after our splash fest for a nice hot bath. Davis got some pill looking things that turned into trucks for his birthday and we decided it was the perfect time to let our trucks grow! He had a blast screaming "grow trucks grow" and loved deciding what kind of trucks they all were. What a fabulous friday! Can't go out in rain without our truck!

All smiles about being out in the rain and making messes!

Who loves the rain? I do!

BATH TIME! Who said getting clean was no fun?

2 yr old dr. visit

Well it was the dreaded "Doctor Day" today and for the most part we made it! It's funny it's like kids know what is going on and where they are even if it's a new place. We drove in to the Dr.'s office and Davis said "new doctors home." We walked in with our truck and gum in our mouth showing off how big we were and to keep the tears away...didn't work. The receptionist ladies were so sweet and were talking to Davis about how cute he was and how big he was chewing gum and he broke down. He was NOT happy to be there and he wanted to make sure they knew it. They handed me the booklet of new paperwork and we headed to the fun waiting area with slides and toys. Davis chose mommy instead of all the FUN stuff so we filled out all 19 papers together!! When we went to turn our book in we recognized some friends we had just met this weekend...Maddox and his parents! Lucky for us Maddox was happy and showed D it was an OK place. They called us back together and wanted them naked and back out to be weighed and measured. Neither of them dug that and BOTH of them hated the weighing/measuring process. Davis weighed in at 31 lbs 4 oz and was 34 inches tall! That's my big strong boy! We hung out in the hall and played with Maddox until the sweet finger poking lady came in! Ugh! Not fun! She was great with Davis though and he ended up counting the droplets of blood for her. There were 5 if you don't believe me! He got a band aid and said "all done momma, home" Poor guy had no idea we were just getting started! About the time I told him we were close Dr. Blake walked in. YES, more tears more crying to go home. He explained it was all very normal and most kids do this until they are 3 or 4 (good thing you only go back once a year!!). He was fabulous and Davis really started to warm up to him. He let him listen to his breathing, look in his ears, eyes, mouth, etc all without crying and then started telling him random facts. You see before the visit Walker and I had really talked to Davis about talking to the doctor and showing him how smart he was. Davis took the opportunity and began spouting off information like his name, favorite color, favorite toy, how old he was, his favorite food, his favorite show until finally he ran out of favorites and said "doctor all done, bye bye!" Dr. Blake thought that was pretty fitting and allowed him to get dressed and prepare for home! We got a good report on the ears (PRAISE GOD!) and Dr. Blake said he is a very smart healthy little boy who knows what he wants! Not anything I wasn't already aware of but good to hear nonetheless. Davis was never so glad to get out of the doctors house and go "bye bye in daddy's car. " He never ceasing to amaze me and cracks me up with his two year old intuition. The rest of the morning we spent some much needed time at Kroger, Walgreens and Target doing some extreme couponing! YAY Mommy! On the way home we talked about all the places we had been and how good Davis had acted and he spoke and said "finger broke momma." I told him baby your finger is not broke it's just a band aid they used to stop the bleeding. He said "K daddy fix it." Loving the days when we can still fix everything for our little man, praying for the days when we can't FIX things anymore. Children sure do bring out the prayers in a momma and daddy.

Easter Egg Hunt

This weekend we had a special treat...we got to visit with the Butler's. Erin is about four weeks from her due date and it was time to have a shower for Jordan's arrival so we went to Huntington to see our buddies. Murray's family is so sweet and kid friendly and they had an Easter egg hunt for the boys before the shower. They all had a really great time and got way too much candy! Davis could not believe there was candy in all of the eggs! He had a blast and Erin and I enjoyed remembering back to last year when all he and Cole did was sit and smile amongst the eggs! Oh what a difference a year makes!

those are some happy boys...Can you say CANDY?

Notice how Davis has on a different shirt and shorts...he was the lucky one that fell in the pool! Boys will be boys, in this case Davis will be Davis!

Thanks Butler's for such a sweet shower for Erin and such wonderful fellowship! We had a great time and can't wait to come back and visit! Oh and I have to think Erin for sending me the pics, somehow my camera got left at home!!!

Take me out to the ballgame

Walker joined the church league coed softball team to relive some of his glory days as a baseball player and we got to see his first game friday night! Davis was so proud of his daddy and loved screaming for him. He would yell "go daddy!" whenever Walker was up to bat and I am confident that is why he hit so well! haha! Nothing like hearing your two year old yell for you! Between yelling for daddy, chasing Wyatt, playing sweetly with Marley, reading books with mimi and playing in the dirt with Pawpaw Davis had a FABULOUS time at the ball field. Next Friday night couldn't arrive soon enough...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...Davis' first haircut!!!

After 24 months and 6 days Davis Walker Dow Wellington FINALLY got his first hair cut. It wasn't a huge necessity, but I was anxious to get a couple of pieces trimmed up and just decided to go ahead and do the first official haircut. He held SO still while Meagan cut his hair, it was really quite amazing. He went mute and just hunkered down until she was done. When she took the cape off he went right back to normal and started flashing his smile and telling the ladies hello. He was very proud of himself and I am pretty sure he thought he was a cutie! He's so modest! We will see how long it is before our next trim! haha!
