Baby Boy #2 has a name!!!

When we found out we were having another little boy, we knew that he would take my dad's first name but weren't quite sure about what our little boy's middle name would be. After much talk, we decided that he would take my dad's whole name. So, we will call him John Thomas and J.T. for short. I couldn't have chosen a better name for this little boy. I have always looked up to my dad and I still do to this day. He is amazing person with a great amount of love for his family. 'm so excited that J.T. will carry on a name of someone that is so important to me and that will be important to him.

It's a....BOY!!!!

Today, Travis and I went to the doctor to find out what our little bundle of joy was. We were both convinced it was a little girl. On the way to the doctor something told me that it was going to be a little boy! Much to our surprise, it was a boy!! We are so excited and even more excited that Will is going to have a little brother to play with and grow up with. They will be so close and the best of friends! We can't wait to welcome our new little blessing into our family. I can't wait for the day to hold him and kiss him and tell him how much he is loved by so many people. I can't wait to watch Will with his little brother and the way they interact. It will be busy and it will be crazy but I can't imagine life without two little boys! We are so blessed and I thank God everyday for my two little blessings!

Bath Time!

One of Will's favorite things to do is take a bath and play in the water! He loves being in the water and playing with all of his toys! The other night he was having so much fun I had to get my camera and snap these pictures! I was playing peek a boo behind his towel and he couldn't stop giggling. I love the pictures I captured because it truly shows his personality and how unbelievably happy he is!

Will

Will's personality is really starting to come through. He is so funny and makes Travis and I laugh every single day! He has brought so much joy to our lives this past year. We can't imagine life without him and are truly blessed by this little angel! We love you buddy!

Day at the Zoo

Last weekend we took Will to the Dallas Zoo for the first time! We have quickly figured out that he is a child that loves to be surrounded by other people all the time so we are always finding things to do with him on the weekends. He loved the zoo and all the different sights. He got really excited when he saw the lions and cougars. A new part of the zoo just opened where you are able to hand feed the giraffes. It was so neat that they came right up to you! I can't imagine what was going through Will's mind!

Thank You, Mom!

This past week, our house fell to the stomach bug!! When we had visitors on Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, Will threw up but went back to playing after taking a long nap so we chalked it up to something he ate. On Monday, we started packing up our house and cleaning and then I got sick that afternoon in the night. I decided that I would stay home on Tuesday to rest and bring Will to the sitter. That didn't happen...he ended up getting sick at breakfast! So, him and I hung out together and I brought him to the doctor to make sure it was just the stomach bug. Sure enough he diagnosed us both with it. Earlier on Tuesday, my mom decided to fly up to take care of us since neither of us were eating and I barely had any strength from the lack of food and Travis had just left for his work trip. I was beyond grateful for her to come back up to Texas on Tuesday after leaving on Monday. She cooked us some homemade chicken soup and helped me take care of Will since he didn't lack on the energy part! :) It was so nice having the extra help around and plus I got to spend a little extra time with my mom. I ended up going back to work on Thursday and she flew back to Louisiana that night. Travis came in SICK! We had passed on this awful bug to him!

Thank you mom for being here for us and taking such good care of us! We loved having you here and spending extra time with you! I appreciate everything you and dad do to help us out even when we are 8 LONG hours away!!

Family Visit

This weekend, my family came up to visit Travis, Will and I. We always love having family here. I love when I get to spend some time with just my mom and I too. We spent Saturday shopping and then Saturday night, my mom, dad, and grandpa watched Will so Travis and I could have a date night. We were so excited to be able to have some time to ourselves but we couldn't wait to see our little boy when we got back before he went to bed. On Sunday, our friends Brittany and Derrick came to visit after they spent the weekend in Dallas for the LSU/Oregon game and more family came up from Waco/Keller area. It was so great seeing everyone and spending time with them. My parents and grandpa left this morning and I hate it when they leave. We just keep telling ourselves that we only have a few more months and then we'll be home.
