Oh…Baker!

The older Baker gets, the more her personality shows!  Even though she test us as parents every day, there’s not a thing I would change about her.  Especially when she tells me at least ten times a day “Mommy, I love you soooo much!”She makes us laugh every day!  She is a very strong willed child and very opinionated. Hints her selection of outfits!  A few of her quotes this week:  After telling Baker she could have a cupcake, “Mommy, you lost your mind!”  As we’re getting ready for church, she comes running into the bathroom crying “Mommy, daddy is not being a nice boy.  He won’t let me do what I want!” 

 

As soon as Baker gets home from daycare, she runs to her room and changes clothes multiple times.  I asked her what I should do to stop her from changing clothes all evening she told me that I “should lock up her clothes”.  Like I said…she makes us laugh everyday!

Baker and Daddy Day!

Our number one goal this weekend was to take down all our Christmas decorations.  It’s one of those chores Lacy and I dread doing.  However, it made me happy to think that next Christmas we’ll have a 6 month old addition to our family!  

Lacy decided to take Baker with him on an errand to Home Depot.  They arrived just in time for the Kids Workshop Lesson!  Baker was so proud of the “Saving Shed” her and her daddy built. 

Week 18

 

This weekend was beautiful and Lacy set Baker’s easel up outside.  She had so much fun painting a picture of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus.  That’s what she named her painting.  I had a hard time making out what it was, but she was very clear in explaining it to me! 

When I was pregnant with Baker I documented the pregnancy with monthly pictures.  With this pregnancy half way over I thought it might be time to get started!  Baby Williams is due June 3rd, just 2 days after I finish school.  Perfect timing!  Baker was 2 weeks early, so we’ll see if this baby makes it to June!  We are not finding out the sex of the baby.  It’s going to be hard, but what a surprise it will be on delivery day! 

Baker’s 1st School Performance

Christmas Tour 2011

Yes!  The Williams Family is still alive and kickin’!  I’m into month 4 of my pregnancy and I have just started getting some of my energy back; morning sickness is still an issue.  Life has been extremely busy but with the new year approaching, I’m promising to update the blog more frequently!  I’ve already missed out on so much documenting…Colin and Mary’s wedding, Baker’s 3rd birthday, graduating from grad school and everything in between!  So…I’m just going to start fresh with Christmas.  We were so excited to see Baker’s 1st school performance.  Her class sang Jingle Bells.  As you can see from the 1st picture, Baker started off very well.     Then it went down hill.  She truly got a case of stage fright.  She was screaming so loudly, you couldn’t hear her class singing!  That weekend, we made our 1st stop of Christmas at my dad’s and step-mom’s in Gainesville, GA.   We enjoyed a nice dinner and visiting with the Baker side of the family. Baker had fun visiting with her Great Aunt Laura.  Grandpa is always good for a snuggle.   Baker was proud to sport her new suitcase from Grammy and Papa B.  We were excited to spend Christmas in Pinopolis with Lacy’s grandmother.   On Christmas Eve, Lacy and Baker both made their 1st gingerbread house!She was just a little proud! Baker helped Bebe and Gin-Gin prepare Christmas lunch. Baker slept until 8:30 Christmas morning! We think Santa was a little too nice to Baker.  She loves the doll house and art easel he left for her!Our next stop for Christmas was Williston.  We arrived at Gi-gi and Papi’s a little after lunch.   Baker enjoyed spending time with her uncles and grandparents.  It was our 1st Christmas without Colin.  We missed him, but are so happy he has a wonderful family in Arizona to celebrate Christmas with.  

We ended our Christmas Tour of 2011 at Granny’s and Bebe and GranDan’s.  It was so nice to be able to celebrate Christmas with everyone in our family!

Homecoming in Tiger Town!

Baker made it through her 1st Tiger Football game and loved it!  It was nice to see a game past half time!Baker loved going on the field after the game.  Check out the bare feet!     My 1st random girl picture!  Baker had to have her picture made with her!  Baker in the “eye of the tiger” with her cousin Elliot.  Before the game…we had to wake her up to go into the game and she woke up saying “Go Tigers!”. 

Baker’s 1st Hair Cut!

Baker will be 3 in November and last Friday we celebrated her 1st hair cut!  It’s amazing what a little trim will do!  She was such a big girl. Missy has been cutting my hair since college and she even made a trip to Williston to fix my hair for my wedding so it was only fitting that she’d give Baker her 1st hair cut!I think it was the stillest we’ve ever seen Baker!
