Learning to Let Go

Today we met and visited with Ms. Trisha. She has offered to keep Baker in her home when I go back to work. Lacy and I got a really good feeling about leaving Baker in her care. She gave us both that feeling that we were leaving Baker with her "Nana". We still have the option of taking her to Clemson First Baptist and have not made a decision. There are so many pros and cons to an in home childcare and a daycare environment. I wish I didn't know so much about early childhood development and maybe it would be easier to make a decision. I'm continuing to pray about it and hope we make the right choice for our little one.

While I was visiting with Ms. Trisha it really hit me that my endless days of snuggling with Little Miss Baker are coming to an end very soon. I return to work on February 2nd. It's amazing that something so little and helpless can melt your heart at any moment. I plan on spending every moment holding her until I have to face reality and go back to work.

Daddy's Girl!

At eight weeks, Baker is already a Daddy's Girl! From the moment Lacy walks into the room or holds her she is mesmerized.

Party!

Landon and Baker enjoy some time together! Love at first sight? Who knows what's going on in those little brains.

Tracey and Jason invited Baker to her 1st birthday party. Blake turned 5 years old today! I remember the day he was born! Tracey went into labor at school! Blake always makes us laugh (he takes after his dad). He asked Tracey if we were going to sing Happy Birthday for the blessing!

Baker's Smiling!

Baker will be 7 weeks old tomorrow! Wow! She is growing up so fast. At 6 weeks she started smiling for the 1st time. No it's not gas! I find myself staring at her. What a love and blessing to wake up to, no matter what time of day or night.

Christmas with Gi-Gi and Popie

Santa visits Baker at Gi-Gi's and Popie's. It won't be long before Baker will be sitting up and playing with her new toy!

Gi-Gi (my mom) enjoyed stuffing Baker's 1st stocking. She got her 1st toothbrush! Lacy's such a good sport!

We enjoyed a night of Christmas lights at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken with Uncle Colin, T, and Nick. It was an adventure for Miss Baker, her 1st big outing!

Baker Has Snuggle Time With Uncle Colin

Over the Christmas Holidays Baker enjoyed some much needed snuggle time with her Uncle Colin. Now that Uncle Colin lives in Tempe, Arizona we don't' get to see him as often. We all miss him and look forward to seeing him in June for Uncle Nick's high school graduation. We love you Uncle Colin!
