Big Whitty Style

LOOK ALIKES?

Many of you have asked us if Harper looks like Whittaker so we thought we'd let you see the comparison.  We took these pictures of Harper today at 9weeks 2days and the pictures of Whittaker were taken when he was 15weeks 2days.  Tell us what YOU think!

"Behind the Music"

My son Whittaker the musician...What a powerful gift God gives us as musicians. I didn't start playing until my twenties but Whittaker has picked up playing instruments and his singing prowess is coming along as well. Here are some of his musical (air guitar) and vocal stylings.

"From the Inside Out"

Eight Weeks!

8 WEEKS!  Can you believe it?!  I cannot believe how fast the time has gone since Harper was born, and even more, how big he has gotten!  

We sat down today for a mini photo shoot at home and got some great pictures.  Hope you enjoy!!

C'mere...

So yesterday afternoon, Whittaker climbs up in the glider and I warn him again about not getting the chair rocking off the ground.  He pauses and says, "I'm Momma."

I say, "Nice to meet you Momma."

Whittaker then says to me as I am holding Harper, "C'mere, I feed you."  Then lifts up the right side of his shirt exposing his right "nickle" and then repeats, "C'mere, I feed you."  As he pats his "nickle."

As if this wasn't enough, we went to church and after service Barrett headed upstairs to get Whittaker from his class and the teacher informed him that Whittaker nursed one of the dolls infront of everybody (3,4 and 5 years olds).  He actually lifted up his shirt and put the baby doll to his "nickle" and said, "I need a feed him....OUCH!...he bite me...be careful!"

What did you teach your kid this week?

Check-Ups

Harper and I both had our two-week check-ups this week.  Both went well and I'm glad I can drive now (like I'll be speeding around town all the time.)  

Harper's appointment was a breeze.  He surpassed his birth weight gaining 10 oz since last Friday, and over a pound since we left the hospital, now weighing  8lbs even and has grown an inch to 21".  He didn't have to get any shots so it was even easier than I had anticipated. 

However, while we were in the waiting room, he decided to have a contained blow out.  So, when the nurse called us back and wanted me to get him down to his diaper to weigh him, I told her I was going to go ahead and change him since he blew it out in the waiting room.  Not taking notice of the temperature drop in the exam room, 2 seconds after opening his diaper, Harper started peeing everywhere, which reminded me of the Huggies diaper commercial I had just seen.  Haven't seen it?  Check it out below!!
