Full of Life

Baker has had one exciting week! It is truly a blessing to experience life with Baker. She has such a love for life. Take a look at what she's been up to! So sweet! Colin and Mary were able to spend a few nights with us in Seneca, before making the next leg of their trip to Williston. Baker found a comfy place to take her morning nap. (No..this picture was not staged. They really were both asleep.) Remember...Colin was missing 3 hours of sleep.
Oh...after this picture was taken we got in the car to head back to Seneca, and I just cried! The next time we'll see Colin will be at Christmas. It's just more motivation to get out to Arizona to visit him.
We had such a nice time getting to know Mary. She fit right in with us. I'm hoping that a visit to the south didn't scare her away.

Yes!! Lacy and I attended our last Williston-Elko High School graduation. Nicky graduated with honors on Friday. It rained so much they actually had to have graduation in the auditorium. That was a mess, but I'm so happy that we could all be there to celebrate with our baby brother. We enjoyed a late night BBQ after graduation. Nicky will become a Clemson Tiger in August. I'm so happy to have 2 of my brothers so close.

Baker did well for her 1st graduation ceremony. I only had to take her out once because she was babbling so loud. After an hour of people-watching, bouncing, and babbling, she feel asleep in my arms. I was so shocked because Baker is not a snuggler. She likes to have room to roll around and stretch out while she sleeps. She doesn't want anything touching her except her teddy bear, baby and pacifier. She must have been exhausted!

Yes!! Kota is still the best dog in the world! He's been enjoying evenings in the yard. He's not really a yard dog, so 20 minutes is his max of yard time and he's ready to come in.

I've been sending Baker to daycare a few days a week to keep her little routine going and we have to pay through the summer to keep our spot. Today when I took her to daycare, she started squealing and jumping up and down. She was so excited to be there. She had missed her teachers and friends. It made me feel better about taking her in the summer. I try to pick her up early enough to where we still have time for afternoons filled with fun. Baker knows how to relax in her pool.

Oh yes! That's a booger hanging out of her nose and she still looks adorable.

We've introduced Baker to a sippy cup. It's not her favorite. I'm beginning to think she really thinks she's a princess. She loves to drink out of it as long as you're holding it for her. We'll keep practicing.



On Saturday, we went to Pinopolis for Gin-Gin's (Baker's great-grandmother) birthday. As you can tell from the picture, Baker was enthralled with Beau the Maltese. Every chance she got, she pulled out hand fulls of fur. Baker's not use to a dog with fur. She thought he was a big fluffy toy.

What a week and this isn't all of it! This is why I still have only unpacked 2 boxes since summer vacation started. This stuff was a lot more fun that unpacking.
