Go Hogs - part 2

Following are a few pictures of Baker and Georgianna taken after school today.
Miss G was the cutest cheerleader!! I have no idea why Baker refused to smile or laugh.
His new word of the day is "Cupcake!" (He brought one home in his tailgating treat bag.)
If today is any indication, Baker will be an expert "tailgater!"

Wooooo Pig Sooooie!

Let's Call Those HOGS!! Baker's school celebrated Razorback Day today. He wore his Darren McFadden jersey (and new Converse sneakers.) (I mention the jersey like I know what I am talking about...I had a brief education about players, jerseys, etc. earlier this week when I forked over too much $ for a 3T jersery...but that is another story...)
Baker looked adorable all decked out -- and so grown up! For the first time, it didn't make me sad that Baker looked like a big boy. All the kids looked adorable - and rumor has it that some "special visitors" are stopping by the school today to call the Hogs with everyone. I hope Baker does his "thing." It's adorable listening to his version of the cheer -- and even cuter hearing him say, "Wooo Pig Pooey!"

Just Because

Baker looked so cute in his new shirt today; I had to document the moment. He's very familiar with the digital camera and loves to preview his photos after I take them. What a little ham. Did I mention that he looks exactly like Kevin lately?

Happy Birthday Emily!

Baker and I had a good day today. He loves playing chase and gets really excited I surprise/scare him when we rounds the corner coming from the kitchen. We're helping Emily celebrate her birthday by making a yummy dinner for her tonight. Baker surprised me earlier today by saying, "Happy Birthday!" Naturally, he refused to tell Emily. He did, however, talk to Nonnie on the phone tonight and had lots to say. He said, "hi Non" and "hi Peas." He even sang his ABC's and told Nonnie Happy Birthday (at least someone else can back me up on his new development.) Kevin is out of town but will be home Thursday. He'll be home before Baker goes to sleep. I'm sure a hero's welcome awaits!

Toddler Room

Baker moved from the "baby room" to the "toddler room" at school today. Contrary to my typical behavior, I did not take a photo to document the momentous occasion. Baker had a great day at school and was completely unfazed when I left him this morning and when I returned to pick him up this afternoon. Kevin tells me that is a good thing.
Baker also had another “first” today – his first TIME OUT. I had to press him down in order to get him to sit still while I counted to 10. I’m not sure if he learned anything but his lip was quivering when he stood up and he gave me a big hug which completely melted my heart (imagine that.) He then tried to tickle and tackle me at the same time – which quickly brought me back to reality...

Wilson Park and Mt. View

Baker and I took advantage of cooler weather and went to Wilson Park today. He was very happy to run and play outside. I'd hoped he wouldn't get too dirty, but of course, Baker had other ideas. After playing on the equipment for kids his age, he bolted for the sand pit and swings then went down the "big" slide head first and landed in a puddle. He was a trooper about the somersault. Completely unfazed, he popped up and kept running.

We went to visit Granny, Mama and Papa this past weekend. Baker and Daddy played lots of duets for Mama!

Play

Baker enjoyed a play date with friends, Georgianna and Drew, on Friday. Drew is Emily's precious nephew and G is Juliette's little girl. They all played really well together and loved "hiding" under the bed...

Baker still likes playing in the cabinets. Not sure how much longer the drawers will be able to hold him (he's 29 pounds and counting...)
