Baby Blessing

Yesterday was Walkers baby blessing. I had the worst nerves all day long. I just prayed and prayed that he would be quiet during the blessing and most importantly that he wouldn't poop on his BORROWED blessing outfit. Well, one of the two prayers was answered. Anyone want to guess which one? Needless to say I dont have any pictures besides the one below of him in his white blessing outfit. Thank heaven it became white again though. The blessing was beautiful and I felt really good afterwards. I huge sigh of relief that it is all over with. I am really blessed to have such wonderful family that came and supported Marshall and I. We really appreciate them coming and taking time out of their schedules to be with us on this important day. So... thanks to all! We had an awesome dinner afterwords which is, of course, my favorite part. All in all the day went well. I could have done without the embarassing blowout, but oh well. We love you Walker!!!!

Trick or treat, smell my feet!

I hope everyone had a wonderful halloween! Ours was good. Walker made a cute pumpkin. Marsh and i were too lazy to dress up. We trick or treated around my parents neighborhood with the family and really enjoyed it. Was the weather not perfect? It felt so nice. Walker enjoyed hanging in his carrier and looking around while the kiddos went door to door. I cant wait until he can walk around and enjoy it more!

We like to move it move it! Phisically, Physically, Physically Fit!

I am trying my best to do what I can exercise wise. During my pregnancy I was so excited to be not pregnant and exercise and get my pre-married life body back. I'm sure all of us have those aspirations pre and post baby and find it much more difficult to find time to exercise. Maybe not so much time, but a way to do it without having to pay for it and figuring out a way to have some uninterrupted exercise time. I'm finding it hard to do. So Walker and I have enjoyed taking our walks through Murray park and around the neighborhood (which is hard because lets face it, my neighborhood is state street, the slums and southern exposure). Walker loves his carrier. We put him in it everynight while we clean and he always falls asleep. Before he falls asleep though I get to enjoy this cute angel little face just staring up at me. i.e. picture below. I love it. I should have invested in a more expensive and cushy carrier because this one puts quite a strain on your shoulders and back after a while. Now that the weather has turned I need to find a new way to get my legs moving. An indoor way I suppose.

This picture was in the fourth photo file and the fourth picture in that photo file. I laughed when it was this picture. This is a backseat picture taken by my friend Jenevieve (love you vievers!) on Marshall and I's first date. Well, it was a double date, thus the Jenevieve in the backseat taking the photo. I'm not quite sure why the photo was taken and it isn't the best photo, but I love it because everytime Marshall and I see it I tell him he looks really nervous because he is playing with his lip. He insists that he was not nervous on our first date, but I always say yes you were! He was driving us to the ice skating rink where on our first date he head butted me in the crotchal area. What an awesome memory!!!

Bowl-A-Rama

This weekend was a fun one. We started out the weekend with a surprise from my little sister. She came all the way from school in Kansas to visit us for the weekend. It was really fun to see her and hear about all the fun she is having at school. Friday night we went over to Court & Jami's and ate dinner and decorated halloween cookies with the kidos. Saturday was a beautiful day. We went bowling and had a blast! I don't think my parents have gone bowling in decades. Probably since the snow cap lanes days. It was fun. My dad beat us all. He even got a sore hip from bowling....signs of old age? Jk dad! True to Christiansen style, well, more of Lauren and Fred style we had a hard time finding bowling balls with finger holes big enough to fit our sausage fingers. We laughed over that. So... the weekend was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to next weekend and putting Walker into his costume! His blessing is this sunday too. I'm nervous!!!!!! Walker has started laughing. At first it was just laughing in his sleep, but now he is laughing while awake too. I love it!

Shots

Walker got his immunizations today. I felt so bad for him.... He handled it pretty well though. Blood curdling scream and then a pout face for a while, but when we got home I gave him some more tylenol and then he was fine! Here's some pics!

2 Months!

My little guy is two months old today. Happy two months Walker! We love you! I am getting excited for the holiday season! I have wished and wished and wished for cold weather and now it is here, and I think I take my wish back :). BRRRRR...... Tomorrow is Walkers two month checkup and he is going to get all of his shots. I am so nervous for him. He has no idea whats coming tomorrow. Poor little guy. I will probably cry again. I cried when they had to prick his heel and take blood for his PKU. I'm such a wimp!

p.s. He isn't a red head. For some reason he has red hair in all of his pictures, but when you see him in person it is a mix of blonde and brown. Weird!

p.p.s. He has mad scientist hair....i swear i comb it every day though.

p.p.p.s. I need to take cuter pictures. These were the newest I had! He loves his swing! Can't you tell? He puts his arms up like he's on a roller coaster.
