Is this bad?

We love to lounge and watch TV, but I'm afraid Lacy and I have not set a good example for Baker. She can say remote and knows where we keep the remote. Thank goodness she doesn't know what channel Elmo or Minnie Mouse is on. Baker calls the remote "daddy mote". Baker only watches 10 minutes of TV a day, that's

about all the time she can handle. perfect aim and form

excellent focus

Jump! Jump!

Baker is a jumper! There have been many nights Lacy and I have heard a loud banging coming from her room. My 1st thought was that her bed had collapsed, but come to find out she was only jumping in her bed. On Saturday Popi, Gigi and Baker spent the day together. This gave me time to catch up on school work and some house cleaning. Baker was in heaven when she walked through the doors of "jump-jump".
She did get stuck in the cracks of the castle and a little girl tried "saving" Baker by pulling on her legs.

It didn't slow her down!

Have we successfully raised a true Clemson Tiger fan?

I guess you can say we're a Clemson family! Let's see..to graduate from Clemson: Lacy, me, my brother, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, step-sister, Lacy's grandfather(played football for Frank Howard) and 2 brothers attending Clemson. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out! We do feel very sorry for my brother Brett, who is a senior at USC and Lacy's step-sister, Emily, who's a freshman. We still love them and claim them! Sunday evening, we enjoyed hearing Uncle Nick and Uncle Ted (plays the bass drum) perform a sneak peak of this year's half-time show.

Off course she's not looking at the camera!

What's down there Uncle Nick?


Baker loves her Gi-gi!

Whirlwind of a Week!

Our 1st day of school! I look like a psycho in this picture, but after 3 attempts it's the only picture that Baker's not showing the back of her head. It was 6:30am!

Baker and I both started a new school year this week. Baker moved up to the toddler room and I welcomed 23 kindergarteners. We've both had a fun and exhausting week.

In her new classroom, she sits in a little people's chair and table to eat and work on projects. I would love to see a picture of that. She never sits more than 5 minutes. Just this past week, she's learned to feed herself with a spoon and fork. She use to flip her food off the utensils before it made it to her mouth. She's also learned how to walk in a line with her classmates, holding the "chain of rings." I don't know the proper name for that ring thing. Our baby is growing up way too fast!

Woman!

Yesterday was open house at Baker's daycare. We were able to visit the toddler room and meet her new teachers. Baker felt right at home in her new classroom. She loved seeing Elmo and Dora decorations in the room. The only character missing was Minnie. Baker starts in her new room on Monday. I'm excited for her and know she's going to have so much fun. Our little baby is growing up! I found out that her teachers have given her the nick-name Woman! Some days she thinks she is! I found some Mickey stickers while cleaning out my classroom. Baker had fun decorating herself with them. Stylish! Don't you think?
Everyday this week Lacy and Baker have had a blast swimming in the new pool, in our backyard. It's very convenient, but Baker thinks she has to swim each time she lays eyes on it! Wawa! Wawa! It's all we hear!

Back to the Grind!

Teachers reported back to work this week, so this means back to a routine. We love routines around this house, it just takes a few days to get the routine going. This is Baker Monday morning at 6:30. I call this her Marvelous, Moody, Monday Picture. More post coming soon! I have a lot to catch you up on!

Fun at the Park!
