Catching Up!

The other evening I walked outside to find Baker taking care of her babies!  It  was so precious. She’s practicing to be a big sister in May! Baker loves her new car seat! (Can’t tell from the picture!)  It’s so much roomier and it transforms into a booster seat.

Baker’s favorite thing to do is play dress-up.  This is her “clown” costume. 

Dancing?

Baker decided to take a seat DURING her lesson!

I decided to take a few pictures and videos of Baker’s dance class.  Yes!  I was one of those mothers!  The next videos and pictures I plan to take will be of her last class.  I think it will be neat to see how much she’s improved. She still seemed to enjoy the ballet class a lot more than tap.

Dance Moves

Baker attended her 1st dance class this week!  The 1st half of the class is tap and the 2nd is ballet.  She was very nervous at first and wanted me to stay in the room with her.  Luckily her teacher is very understanding and does allow parents to stay.  It was the most precious thing to watch.  Lets just say that Baker has plenty of room for growth.  She was much more focused for the ballet portion of the class.  It’s going to be a great learning experience for her because she’s going to have to learn to pay attention to the teacher.  Baker was that child at the end of the line doing her own little dance. 

Little Dancer!

This weekend Gigi and I took Baker to pick out her 1st pair of dance shoes and all the necessities.  She was such a big girl waiting to be sized.  It was a little sad to see how much Baker has grown up.  Her 1st class, Creative Movement, is tomorrow.  I’ll keep you posted!

Fun with Friends

  I was so happy to finally make a trip to Charlotte to meet baby Ethan!  He is such a beautiful baby!  I even got to feed him!  It was wonderful to catch up with Len and Nicole.  We’ve been friends since high school and they’re Baker’s God Parents. 

They are doing a fantastic job parenting 2 young kids.  It made me feel bad when I complain about keeping up with just 1 kid! After spending hours in traffic, we were happy to make it home from Charlotte safely. We ended the day at the ball field.  Seneca is actually hosting the Dixie Boys World Series and last night they had several events to kick off the series. It was pretty neat to see the top 12 teams in the country…in Seneca, SC! Baker  enjoyed every last moment of daylight jumping in the bouncy house.  She was terrified of the fireworks and hid behind me or buried in my shoulder so there are no pictures of the spectacular fireworks.  Getting to see Jake made Baker’s night!  When I told her that we were not going to be able to see Jake the next day she cried and said “But I love him!  I so sad I can’t see him.”   Baker had a blast having Tessa and Addie over to play.  The moms spent hours learning to make hair bows and the girls did a wonderful job of entertaining themselves.  We were impressed with them and our ability to make cute bows!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

On Wednesday, Baker enjoyed helping her daddy celebrate his 31st birthday!  When Lacy asked her where we should go for his birthday dinner she suggested Chick-fil-a.  Too bad..sushi won over that suggestion!  Lacy requested a simple birthday, so we went for Oreo cupcakes (instead of a cake) from Cubcakes.  Anything with Oreos throughout is delicious!

Swimming Video

Last night Baker was entertained for an hour as we went through the blog looking at old videos.  It reminded me of how special each little moment is, no matter how small it is.  With this said, I’m trying to take more videos of Baker.  I’m sure she’ll we’ll enjoy them for years to come.
