Happy Birthday David!

Well, I am here to announce that 9 years ago today David Christain Walker was born. He was 8 pds. 4 oz. and 21 inches long. He was our biggest baby but has the biggest heart. We were going to name him Brandon Cole but I had kidney stones throughout my pregnancy so we found it fitting to name him after the greatest stone thrower...David. My mom and daddy came from S.C. to be there for David's big arrival. We would "talk" to David and tell him he had to wait on Nana and Big Daddy to get here before he could come out. Sure enough, David waited on Nana and Big Daddy and he even let all of us get a great night of sleep. The next morning Bobby, Daddy and our neighbor Ken went to the golf course to play eighteen. Mom, me and Austin stayed behind to relax and get our clothes together for dinner that night. We were suppose to go to Outback and I was craving it and therefore very excited. Anyway, the guys were on the 11 hole and I called them and said instead of dinner lets have a baby. We loaded up and at 4 pm David was born. They laid him on my chest and he was a beautiful blue. We had 2 long minutes of a scare but after some oxygen he was doing fine. We know he has a great call on his life. When he was 4 months old he was diagnosed with RSV. I was never so scared I would loose my baby. I felt like a new mom all over again. David brings so much laughter and love to our family. Austin had someone to look after and love only like a big brother can and David had Austin to look up to. David LOVES his big brother. They are so close...almost like twins. Where you find one you find the other.

David has a very kind and tender heart. He is always looking out for everyone else, wants to include everyone and make everyone happy. It upsets him to see someone sad. He is ALL BOY! He loves to take care of momma but loves his guy time with Daddy and Austin. He has an amazing laugh. David accepted Christ April of last year soon (after Austin did). He wanted to be like his big brother. I was so proud when Austin said don't do it to be like me. Do it because you want to be like Jesus. I wept! The days I feel like I fail as a mother God gives me a glimpse of accomplishment. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. David has not been baptised because he is waiting on Big Daddy and Nana, Uncle Michael, and Aunt Kristen, Brennan, Granny and Grandfather, Aunt Robin, Uncle Denny, and Olivia to come and be part of it. So Family if you are reading this you know what to do. ROAD TRIP. As you can tell I am very proud of David, Austin and Kailyn. I love you and have an AMAZING week!
