Things I'll miss one day

This afternoon Walker was helping me to set up Ivey's feeding pump. He loves pushing buttons. And more importantly, he loves to be the big brother in charge, which does not happen as often as he would like whenever Knox is around. Obviously Knox was not here. Anyway, we got the pump set up, I was carrying the pump; Walker was carrying the feeding bag -

he stopped suddenly, looked at the bag and asked "Mommy, aren't we going to make Ivey chocolate milk now?" Big brother looking out for his baby sister.

I wonder what Doctor M. would think about chocolate formula in a j-tube?

Not so much.

Then later in the day the door bell rang. And who should be at our door? In Walker's world, the PBS man! What he really means is the UPS man, but who am I to correct him?

And guess what? The PBS man brought him a Buzz Light Year suit.....

Never mind that some one had to order it.

My kiddos love ToyStory. Why is that?

Remember Knox sang "You've Got A Friend In Me" to Ivey when she was still in the NICU.

So today as we made our way down the isles at Kroger, I had Walker in Buzz Light Year wings. Can you imagine? The grocery store is wild enough on its own -

try it with a four year old in wings who thinks that he can fly.

Buzz may not be so happy come Friday. He is going in to get his tonsils out.

Poor Buzz.

Knox has been lying low this week, which this momma truly appreciates. He is on a mission to earn something he realllllly wants, before Christmas.

Here he is with one of his bestest friends. Two Georgia fans. We start em young around here.

And then there is this wild child.

Can you see the problem in the picture? Notice the location of the feeding pump in the left side of the picture. Now follow the feeding tube to the baby. Not good.

Most of the time Ivey sits in her bouncy seat while she eats. And this is why. She started out under her toy playing with the tin bread pan. Tin pans are one of her favorite things..bread pans...pie pans...etc. She loves them. Anyway, I sat her down, walked to get a diaper and this is what I found. Don't forget she knows that her mickey button can be pulled out. She is not crawling yet, but she can maneuver herself however she likes by rolling, sitting up, rolling again.

And her she is in action. This girl is ready to crawl. It is just a matter of her figuring out that there are things out there for her to get into. We are working on it diligently-who out there thinks this girl will crawl by Christmas? Then again, if she keeps pushing up like that, she might just skip crawling and go straight to running.
