Baker is a baker!

I usual, I was craving something sweet after dinner. I was sure Baker was too, so we joined forces to bake a festive 4th of July cake, sprinkles and all! She could not believe I was letting her hold the mixer while it was on. I was a little nervous. Images of the bowl sliding off the counter and batter decorating the kitchen, crossed my mind.

Yum! Yum! Yes, I'm one of those parents who let their kids eat lick the batter! Her Uncle Colin would fight her over that bowl!

Baking a cake with Baker was a success and fun!

A Visit with Gin-Gin!

This past weekend we headed south to Pinopolis to visit Gin-Gin, Baker's great-grandmother. It was nice to get away and relax. Baker enjoyed making her Gin-Gin laugh!

Baker's favorite thing to do was climb in the chair with Gin-Gin and "rock-rock". It quickly became a game.

What do bubbles sound like?

Gigi and Uncle Nick made a quick trip to the Upstate. It was a nice surprise and Baker enjoyed the extra attention. Gigi brought Baker a load of fun, bubble making supplies. Guess what we do every day!

I Just Love This Girl!

Baker and I have had fun these past few days! We've been shopping, visited with friends, played outside, gone swimming, watered the plants (she has her own watering can and loves to help) and visited the library. I just want to freeze time now! She's so much fun! I hope she always has a zest for life! Her vocabulary is growing every day. Sometimes it's challenging to understand her, but she'll just grab my hand and show me what she's talking about. Check out the curl on top! I'm so excited to see some "growth" in the hair department! What was I thinking? Baker should never wear clothes when eating spaghetti! The shirt still has spaghetti stains on it!
Meal time can be a battle as to which "sit" she's going to sit in: the high chair, booster seat, or mommy's and daddy's "sit". I'm learning to pick my battles! It's so hard!

It's Official!

School's out and we're loving every minute of it!
