Walker has been making up songs lately and when we went on the great Valentine photoshoot, he started singing a song. "Valentine for everyone. Play some games for everyone. Play some games and have some FUN!" It's been something he's sung a lot over the last few days but apparently it isn't an original score

Daddy picks up Walker each evening and they play while I get an hour to do whatever I want -- go to the gym, pay bills, catch up on work, grab some wine and gossip with a friend. The boys have a wonderful time and have recently been playing "guys" a lot. That entails taking

This morning the weather threatened rain so Walker donned his Batman rain gear that Gigi gave him for Christmas. He arrived at the same time as Madeline and while Mommy missed the loving good morning hugs and kisses, I was fast enough with the camera to capture the sweet little lovebird dance. This morning was

Today Walker and I went for a hike while Daddy helped Pop Pop rearrange some furniture at the house. We came across a trail marker and Walker read the pictures to me: red circle, arrow, cowboy and Mommy. Cowboy = horse riding, Mommy = hiking, Arrow = direction and Red Circle = No Smoking. When

Larry and I have never been big partiers, and New Year's Eve has been no exception. Generally we would see the New Year in with a bottle of wine on the beach but the pitch dark, cold beach in the middle of the night would be a bit scary for little Walker. However, I did

We've been talking about Thanksgiving and discussing what we're thankful for. I'm not sure if Walker gets the concept but I'm certainly satisfied with his response.

I'm about to run out the door to see my wonderful men but I had a very satisfying web experience today that I thought I should share. I've been in the process getting life insurance, because, well, it's an adult thing to do. I went through my financial adviser and the process was extremely long

Walker has started showing interest in some of the things we do. This morning he decided he wanted to have some coffee with his banana. Of course, we didn't pump him full of caffeine but we did provide him with a coffee mug full of high-octane (full strength) cranberry juice. He very much enjoyed the

Today is Halloween and as Walker was going to bed he told us that he had a "happy day." Thank goodness. We've been preparing him for Halloween over the last few weeks. We read him stories about the holiday, talked to him about Trick or Treats and put his Batman costume on a few times.

Walker is a lucky boy but he's not the only one who gets to enjoy fun things to eat. I saw a recipe for banana/chocolate cupcakes frosted and decorated to look like monkeys in the November PARENTS magazine. They are so adorable and relatively easy to make. However, I don't like giving Walker full-size baked
