Kota Baby!

You've got to be kidding me!

Where ever Baker is, Kota is not far behind. He is becoming protective of her and loves to give her kisses!

When I look at this picture I can just hear Lacy saying...."Kota, Baker, look at me!" Baker is becoming more aware of Kota and will smile at him and enjoys watching him.

Don't eat the yellow snow! Kota and his buddy Sampson play together every day. Kota's going to miss Sampson when we move. Some days Kota will go sit at Sampson's front door until his mom lets him out to play.

Jogging Stroller

Baker's ready feel the wind in her hair and enjoy some runs with Daddy! Mommy is still in the walking stage.

She was all smiles in her stroller. She's finally big enough to fit in it.

We hope the warm weather is here to stay!

Baker's New Sleeping Position

She loves sleeping with her head turned to the right, cocked back, and mouth wide open. It looks very uncomfortable to me, but doesn't appear to bother her a bit.

To help Baker get a better night's sleep while she's recovering from acid reflux, she sleeps in her bouncy seat. It seems to be working. She no longer wakes up during the night screaming in pain. A few nights a week, I do let her sleep in her crib without the seat. I don't want her getting use to this chair in order to sleep.

Problem Solved! We think!

Well, after 2 days of trying to console Baker, Lacy and I decided that something else besides a stomach virus was wrong with our baby. She is normally not a fussy baby, so after 2 days of listening to her cry we decided to give the doctor another call. Lacy took her to the doctor today. He saw a new doctor since ours was out. The new doc decided that Baker's acid reflux had worsened, so he upped her medicine and told us to give her rice cereal with her milk! I was so excited to hear the words "rice cereal"! I'm hoping it will help her gain some weight and sleep through the night. She only weighs 11.6lbs. I just feel so bad that we had been working to cure Baker for a stomach virus and it was her acid reflux. Poor thing! I know she was ready to kick the pedialyte to the curb and chow down on some formula and cereal!

Baker's 1st Snow!

So Baker...tell us what you really think about the snow!

A quick visit on the front porch was the extent of Baker's 1st exposure to snow since she was still not feeling well. She just can't seem to get rid of the stomach virus. It was a long night last night. The doctor said she could have it for up to a week. Lacy shoveled out the driveway to go out for another pedialyte run.

A Visit With Friends!

Friday night Lacy and I met at Tracey's for dessert and most importantly a visit with Meredith and Chris. Baker stayed at home with my mother-in-law(she was in town for the night) since she was still sick with a stomach virus. We had such a nice time catching up. Time with friends is always good! We did have a little celebration at the fact that I was wearing a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans. We miss Meredith since she moved to the "beautiful" city of Columbia. She has to come back to "God's Country" every few months to soak in it's beauty and eat a delicious meal at Mac's!

(I hate this picture of me! I look like such a dork! Lacy said something funny.)

A Visit to Gainesville

During our visit Baker laughed for the 1st time! It was the most amazing and beautiful sound I have ever heard! I almost cried because it such a joyous moment! She laughed at her grandpa bouncing her up and down on the table. I've tried to get her to do it for me, but have had no luck. I think she was flirting with her grandpa. She did it twice for him.

Baker's Great Grandparents just adore every moment with Baby Baker!

Great Uncle Robert was a little nervous about feeding Baker, but we think he did pretty well for his 1st time feeding a baby!

Irma(sp?) wanted to make sure that Baker was not taking over her space. She was a little curious about Baker and what was in her bottle.

Baker's 1st piano lesson with Grandma. Maybe Baker will be a better musician than her mom was!
