Dearest Davis

This little boy melts my heart. I took these pictures of him back in February. I swear he gets cuter everyday.

My sweet boy

Davis loves to climb up onto our tall stools and sit by Campbell at the kitchen bar but recently he fell a few times and so now we put a chair behind him to catch him if he falls.
He is such a sweet little boy and today when I sat up the the bar he looked at me like he was concerned then he climbed down from his stool and walked over to the kitchen table and got a chair and pushed it up behind me. He climbed back up onto his stool and said to me, "You don't fall mom. You don't bonk your head."
I'm so lucky to have little Davis looking out for me.

Davis turns 2!

Our little Davis turned 2 yesterday. I cannot say enough about this little boy.

He is such a joy in our family.

We call him our "lil' lover" because that is just what he is. He just loves everybody.

Davis is so laid back and easy going. He is pretty much always happy and content.

He is talking more and more. Sometimes I can't tell from the other room if it is him or Campbell talking. He loves to follow his big brother around and copy him.

Can't believe he is 2 now. It is so fun to watch him grow and learn everyday.

Happy Birthday Davis!

We LOVE you!!!

Pictures of our life

This sweet little giant makes me smile every day. He recently learned how to say, "hold you" and loves to rest his head on your shoulder. He is such a lover.

We closed on our house in KY and so now I am busy packing. I'm trying to get excited about the move (what can I say, I'm happy here) so I've been sketching some plans for the new house. It is fun to dream.

Campbell insisted on a mayo and honey sandwich the other day. I would have never made it for him (because of course he wouldn't eat it, YUCK) but Trevor is nicer than me and made the sandwich for him and surprisingly Campbell scarfed it down. That boy always keeps me guessing. ;)

Hallie is loving Harry Potter these days.

Campbell insisted on sitting like this and reading one of "Hallie's books". He is always watching his big sister.

Trying on mommy's boots. I don't think Trev will appreciate this picture... it's okay honey, he is a normal 3 year old boy... I think.

We had a few chilly days last week and I kept seeing the girls going out the back door with blankets so I thought I'd investigate and this is what I found.

I love moments like these. :)

Davis gets a haircut

We have bald babies... what can I say.

Davis is almost 18 months old and last week Trevor gave him his first ever haircut.

He did pretty good.... at first.

But, Trevor got it done without too many tears (a few from Davis and the majority from me).
My baby is growing up.

Doesn't he look dashing?!

p.s. I forgot to save a lock of his baby hair... what kind of mother am I???

A Rough Day for Davis

Davis had surgery yesterday... don't worry, nothing life threatening.

The day started early and we dropped the other kids off at Kristine's house at 6:30am (bless you Kristine) then headed to the Children's Hospital.

I was glad Davis didn't know what was about to happen. He smiled and waved and flirted with the nurses. They put on his cute little gown but then he broke out in a rash so we took it off.

We waited for a while and then it was time for the "Happy Medicine".

Davis was hilarious. He got really sleepy but then out of no where he would laugh and do this goofy grin.

It was seriously so cute.
They whisked him off to the OR and we waited in the waiting room for about 3 hours.

It felt like forever.

Finally he was done and the Surgeon told us everything went great.

Davis woke up very unhappy and VERY hungry. He hadn't eaten for 12 hours and this is a steak and potatoes kind of guy... no skipping meals for him.

He screamed and thrashed unless we were feeding him something so we kept feeding him knowing that it was probably all going to come back up.

Anyway, it was a busy and draining day but we were so grateful that everything went smoothly and although I was little freaked out when they showed me the 4 incision sites (I thought they would be a lot smaller) I know they did a great job.

Glad it's over with!

(Thanks to my dear friends Kristine and Christina for helping us. What would I do without these amazing people in my life... I'm just so grateful.)

Our little monkey

I can't even tell you how much fun this little guy is.

I took these pictures the other day of Davis examining Trevor.

Too Cute!

This week at our house

Campbell found a new hiding place and invited Davis to join him inside.
Today he said to me, "Let's go to space mommy! But... but, where is my rocket ship??"
Megan decided she wanted a haircut and insisted on "bangs". I was nervous about cutting bangs on her but in the end I think she made a good choice... she looks so cute with bangs. :)



Hallie is learning how to play the recorder and loves it. She practices faithfully and learns so quickly. She also started "STOMP" this week.

Campbell is always doing something to keep himself (and me) busy. He is a sweet boy and LOVES to be funny. He will do something silly and then ask, "I funny Mommy??" and of course I say, "YES, you ARE funny!" and he grins from ear to ear.

The other day I was working out and he walked in the room with a little cup of water and asked, "You firsty mommy? You need a drink?" What a sweet boy. :)

I just love this little... er... big guy.

Davis loves to eat and to talk on the cell phone. If I am on the phone he grunts and moans and cries until I give in and let him have it then he holds it up to his ear and kisses it (i.e. sucks on it).

Oh, he also loves purses. ;0

Trevor has had a great month of elective and his schedule has been more flexible in January. He is studying ultrasound and has to do 100-300 ultrasounds this month which is a lot but he is getting them done.

Davis likes to jump on daddy when he is studying... daddy just loves it. ;)

Found Davis like this

Davis loves to wrap things (coats, towels, etc.) around his head and neck.

I found him like this the other day...

Davis turns 1

December 2nd 2008

December 2nd 2009

Wow, I can't believe our little man is 1 year old! Poor Davis was sick on his birthday so although he enjoyed his cake it was kind of a yucky day for him.

Davis is walking all over the house and follows me everywhere. He says "Mama" and "Dada" and he points and claps and waves and giggles. Davis doesn't play with toys instead he loves cellphones, camers, remote controls, and carries my old stethoscope around his neck (sound like anyone you know?). He is such a fun little guy and he is so happy and content.

I took him in for his one year and here are his stats:

24lbs 14 oz. (70%) and 30and 3/4 inches (50%)

Happy Birthday Davis!!!
