Mack's Words for the Week

Mack has several fun words this week, and he is adding the "s" sound to the end of almost everything. Here are some of his Funny words this week.
1. Bash Tub = bath tub
2. Powers = powder
3. Ponts = 2 Points (he says this when he makes a goal)
4. Emmies = M&M's
5. Tired
6. Mess
7. Shhh Baby

A Hot Mess!

Mack is the funniest little guy! His language skills are really starting to emerge, but his articulation is another story! Tuesday morning he went into the pantry with me to get his breakfast. Our pantry is under the stairs, so it is rather large and a catch all for everything. Brian and I had cleaned up the entry area and pushed the additional items to the back. Mack looked at the items in the back of the pantry, then looked at me and said "A MESS!" I could not help but laugh! Children are so honest!!!

Cooper's First Tub Bath

Mack helped give Cooper his first tub bath. Mack really enjoyed getting to help with the baby's "bash" (that's bath in Mack language). Cooper on the other hand did not like it at all!

Cooper Daniel Wallis Is Here

Cooper Daniel Wallis, born January 23, 2009 at 7:47 am. He weighed 7 lbs, 2 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long.

We are now a family of Four!

My how fast times change! Seems like just yesterday I was starting this blog with a picture of Mack Russell Wallis just after he was born. And now, we are adding to our family! This pregnancy went by so fast. I felt like only moments passed between finding out that we were expecting again and meeting our new little one.

Our first couple of weeks at home have been exciting and trying all at the same time. I really forgot how often these sweet little boys wake up to eat! I can't complain though, Cooper is a really good sleeper, waking to eat at night and going right back to sleep. Mack is slowly getting used to the idea of the "baby" being with us all the time.

Our first weekend at home was very upsetting for me. Mack had been going to daycare all week, and didn't realize that our new little fellow would be at home with us all day, everyday, until the weekend arrived. He was very needy, wanting to be held by his mommy, which was almost impossible for me after having surgery. He cried. I cried. It was just an emotional weekend. He now is getting used to the idea of Cooper being with us all the time, and he is being a big help to mommy.

I will have to say that I am so amazed at how marvelous God is. Not that I ever doubted Him!!! But, the love that immediately filled my heart after having Cooper was overwhelming. Who knew your heart could be big enough to love so passionately two of the most amazing little boys? Only God and other mothers could even begin to know or understand. Brian and I are so blessed to have two healthy boys. I praise God for entrusting me with His prize possessions. I can only hope and pray that I live up to His expectations as a mother. I am so blessed!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was loads of fun this past year! Mack was really excited about "HoHo" coming to see him. We spent our first Christmas together as a family at home in Batesville. We are usually running from one house to another on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but started our own family tradition at home this year. Doc even dressed up for the occasion with his Christmas bow. So sorry for the delay on posting; my internet lets me do what it wants to, not what I want to! Love you all.
