David and I had the opportunity to attend the D.C. area annual JAG Dining Out. Well, I should say I had the opportunity, it was mandatory for David. Nonetheless, we had a great time and it afforded me a chance to get all dressed up and wear a pretty dress.

Had to post these beautiful pictures of Pace! I took these back in the spring outside of his Nana and Poppy's house. He might be the cutest baby in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. (I, of course, am not biased!)

Cousins

While Pace loves playing with all of his cousins, he really loves having cousin Landrum close by.

In order to eat dinner in peace we decided to put a Baby Einstein video on for babies. We strategically placed them a few feet a part so they would not poke each others eyes out while we were eating. A few minutes into our dinner we looked over to find Landrum right next to Pace. I am pretty sure that Pace was trying to pull Landrums hair out.

Drivers Ed

While some in legislation may be trying to raise to driving age, Pace thinks its never too early to get a driving lesson from Daddy! David and I have done a lot of traveling since Pace was born and Pace is such a trooper... he really is a good traveler. However, sometimes you just have to pull over and get the baby out of his seat and let him play.

disclaimer: please note that we are NOT bad parents. we were pulled over at a gas station and letting Pace stretch out for a while.

Best Friends For Life

GOLIATH has found a new best friend. Goliath, Pace and I have been living with my parents while David is completing his training in Alabama. Every night we put the dogs to bed in the laundry room. Well, as of late Goliath has decided that instead of getting in his bed right a way he will sit with Jonah for a little while. I don't think that Goliath realizes how easily Jonah could squash him. Big dog, little dog, was there ever a better pair?

mm mmm good

We started feeding Pace rice cereal in mid December and he took to it quite well. At 5 months we decided to branch out to new things like avocado and sweet potato. As we can see in the photo, Pace is really enjoying his dinner. Those of you without children might wonder "how did he manage to get sweet potato in on his forehead?" And the answer to that query is...he's a boy and its fun to play with food! Although we have been eating solids for a couple of months now, I can say he is still a big mess during meal time.

"Off we go into the wild blue yonder"

As many of you know David was commissioned into the United States Air Force in December. Davids dad, a retired Col in the U.S. Army had the opportunity to commission David and Stephen in a joint ceremony in Norfolk, VA. The rest of the Walkers might enjoy teasing us about going Airforce, however, we know we made the right choice!:)
