Mommy Got a New Camera!!!

This week, I got a new camera (a Canon Rebel T1i to be exact)...I'm more than overjoyed by this fact as my little old Kodak digital was just not cutting it.  So today's post will be a ton of pictures taken with the new love in my life!!!

Spring Is Here!!!

Yesterday was a georgous day in Atlanta with temps in the mid 70s and the sun shining...it was WONDERFUL!!! DH and I took WP to the park for the first time and he loved it.  WP went on the swing and the slide and of course Mommy took pictures.

WP's First Time in the Swing!!

Loving the Springtime

Is that a Tiger peeking over the swing?

Slide time!!

That was cool!!

After our fun trip to the park, DH took WP to the car wash, which WP really enjoyed (sorry no pictures), while I ran some errands.  As part of our birthday present, Aunt Diana and her kids came and watched WP last night so DH and I could have a date night.  We went to Verde for dinner and then to the movies to see Bounty Hunter...a fun night for sure!!  Unfortunately, the spring like weather has been replaced by more rain and chilly temperatures but hopefully this will just be a minor interruption in the nice weather. 

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!

Today was WP's first St. Patrick's Day and he was very cute in his green t-shirt!! Too bad he was not able to show it off at day care today.  Yesterday, around lunchtime, I received a phone call from day care...my heart always skips a few beats when I see that number flash up on my cell phone.  They had called to inform me that WP was being sent home because he had a lovely fever of 101.9.  Since he had just finished a round of meds for a double ear infection last Thursday, off to Dr. W's office we went.  Poor, sweet boy has another ear infection and Dr. W has put him on another round of meds.  So WP had to stay home today because day care has a rule that the kids must stay out the day following being sent home.  Luckily, DH and I were able to split the day allowing both of us to take care of some work for our respective jobs.  Below are some photos from WP's St. Paddy's Day.

In other news, DH and I both celebrated birthdays last week (mine was Thursday and DH's was Saturday).  DH had a big birthday...he turned 30.  We celebrated by going up to South Carolina for the weekend.  Saturday afternoon we went to a baby shower for our friends Matt and Kate (Clemson friends of DH)...they are expecting a little boy next month.  It was fun catching up with them and other friends from Clemson.  Then we had a nice family dinner with Daddy Bill and Ms. Vikki and DH's grandparents (Mom-Betty and Papa).

WP's last day in his infant car seat...he's now too big for it!!

Wishing Daddy a Happy 30th Birthday!!

Trying some watermelon for the very first time...he liked it, but couldn't really figure out how to take a bite - he just wanted to squeeze it in his hands.

WP also likes banana slices, knows how to clap his hands and will do it in response to "If You're Happy And You Know It" and can wave good-bye (but does it at other random times too). 

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!

Overdue...

So this post is just a bit overdue, but forgive me...our house has been hit by a massive amount of cold germs that seem to have thrown WP and I for a complete loop.  Anyway, WP turned 10 months old on Monday, March 1.  Unfortunately, I was so sick, there are no actual "10 month-day" pictures...I know, how can I be such a horrible Mommy???  But, behold, a few pictures below from the end of February, Mom-Mom's visit to Atlanta and tonight's photo session...
