Walt is turning into a chatterbox. Our favorite thing these days is asking him “What’s your name?” and he answers! Here’s a quick video of some of his words… and not without the precursor to a tantrum, which has become more and more frequent these days. Enjoy!
RIP – Sean Ashford
This is a tough one for me to write. Given that, it’ll likely be short. A little over a week ago, Chris got a phonecall from his best buddy, Jed, that one of his best friend’s was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident. Sean lost control of his motorcycle around midnight on Friday night (July…
Peanut-Free Zone
Last weekend we had an unfortunate (or maybe fortunate??) incident where we discovered Walt is highly allergic to peanuts. Growing up, I was a very severe asthmatic with every allergy under the sun. Since day one, I’ve been worried about Walt’s genetic acquistion of these ailments. Pretty much every time he gets sick, even a…
Do NOT Visit Pure MedSpa in Frisco!
This is not my normal fodder for the blog, but I’m looking for communication vehicles. I’ll make this short and sweet. About a year ago, I purchased one of the gazillion Groupons for laser hair removal. I’m not embarrassed. It’s for my legs. You all will be jealous eventually 🙂 Or, you won’t because my…
Walt is 18 Months!!
Maybe it’s because I did an update for each month during Walt’s first year, but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I have an 18-month old! In a post a while ago, I made a comment that when you are pregnant, you are laser focused on the due…
Plano Fire Department Adventure
This summer, I’m trying to capitalize on the fact that Walt is definitely more interested and curious about things, yet he’s not insistent on spending 6+ hours doing something. We’re doing real good if we catch his attention at one thing for an hour. Luckily, there are so many free and cheap things to do…
Happy Father’s Day, MunkaDad!
This Father’s Day we spent it in Gilmer, which was nice because it’s always so relaxing to be in the country. Chris got to do what he loves the most, which is play with his best buddy and play some golf. So, you can imagine the excessive amounts of joy when we combine BOTH of…
The Swimming Monkey
At the urging of some friends, we decided to enroll Walt in some swim lessons this summer. It didn’t take much arm turning as Walt is completely fearless in the water. He is so overly cautious about everything else in life (hello, took him 15 mos to walk!), yet he will go face first into…
I Got a New Job!
This has been in the works for sometime now, but I’m excited to say that I have a new job! I always had the intent to change up my career a bit, but figured I’d wait until the ol’ MBA was done. Well, a series of events in December 2011 sped up the process. A…
Mini He or Mini She?
I realize I’m really grasping at straws at this point, but I thought it would be fun to explore some side-by-side pics of the Munkaman with his mom and dad as little ones. Trust me, I’m well aware that my child is 99% spawned from my husband. He looks like him AND acts like him….
