9 Month Stats!

On Sunday, my precious baby turned 9 months old!!!! Where has the time gone? I aboslutely love watching him roam, explore, and learn how to do so many new things. At 9 months he can:

• Crawl
• Pull up
• Sit up on his knees
• Says "mama" and "dada" (plus a few other things I haven't figured out!)
• Clap

He has 5 teeth and working on a 6th. Sleep has gone from bad to worse lately. He has an ear infection and is on antibiotics (again!). He weighs 23lbs and is 30.5 in length. We have a big boy!!!!!

We are enjoying the Christmas season with our little guy and can't wait to see what Santa brings him! Speaking of Santa, I will post his pics with Santa later today!

Pic Post

Will is officially crawling, pulling up on everything, and driving his mama crazy! More detailed posts will come this weekend!

Swinging!

Saturday, Will made his first park visit with Mawmaw, Dadda T, and his cousins. You can tell he had lots of fun swinging!

Big Boy Seat

We got in on a great deal for Britax car seats, so we went ahead and ordered W's big boy seat! I am to the point of not being able to carry his infant carrier (plus he screams every time we strap him in) so hopefully he will love his new ride!

I've got a brand new pair of roller skates.....

But I can only go backwards right now.......... things like the pantry get in my way!

A Baker's Dozen?????

Random story alert!!!! The other night Austin and I were having an off-the-wall conversation about the Duggar Family (which I am obsessed with watching). He tried to come up with a crafty title for our reality show, which ended up being "The Baker's Dozen" (No, I will never have that many kids, we were just being goofy).

So, on to my point.....how many of you know the exact amount in a baker's dozen????? I didn't and was surprised at the number. How many do you think are in a baker's dozen?

Lately.....

Lately, I have been a bad blogger. We have been so busy and my blogging has suffered. Keep scrolling for a few new pics (and check out the cutest tiger you've ever seen!).

Will's First Halloween

A Few New Pics!

Milestones

My baby has his two bottom teeth (pardon the pic, I know it's not the best quality, but he guards those things like Fort Knox!).

He can sit up for a few minutes unassisted

War Eagle!

Will did a great job cheering for the Tigers during our win over South Carolina!

Comments

I have a live traffic feed on our blog, showing me people from all over the U.S. are viewing my blog. I want to know who you are! Please leave comments, I'm always curious if anyone reads my blog or not, so tell me who you are!!!! I know our family and a few close friends check us out, but I want more comments!

Pray for Khloe!

Blog readers/stalkers.....whoever out there reads this blog. Here is a link to a precious little girl's caringbridge page:
www.caringbridge.org/visit/khloesassman

This little girl is an amazing fighter and needs as many prayers as she can get! Check out her site and read her story. Every time I receive an update I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have my healthy little boy. Warning: You may shed a few tears as you read her story and updates (I know I always do).

Back to School....

So.....the past few weeks has brought many changes to the Baker household. My summer break ended which means Will has started daycare (insert tear here!). He started last week on Thursday and, so far, things have gone great. He seems to love the ladies in his room, is slowly making progress as far as naptime, and is always happy when I pick him up. The only bad thing, we were in daycare for 2 days before we got a runny nose! I guess this is to be expected, gotta build that immune system up somehow!!!!!

I learned this summer that I love, love, love being home with my precious baby, but am not meant to be a stay-at-home mom. I feel that in my occupation, I have the best of both worlds, lots of time off but time to get away as well. I'm very fortunate to have had him home with me since his birth.

I'll keep everyone updated as daycare progresses, but keep him, his teachers (God bless them....I could not handle 7 babies!), and all of us in your thoughts and prayers as we move through this journey together!

New Seat!

We finally set up our space saver highchair and Will loves it! Now we eat dinner in our big boy chair instead of the bumbo. And, just wanted to add, aren't those the most kissable cheeks ever?????

Hear Me Roar!

Isn't he the cutest lion you have ever seen?

Starting Solids!

This summer we started solids! So far we like peas, green beans, and squash. Oatmeal and bananas hurt our tummy (a special thank you to mawmaw and poppi for getting us through those few days!). He wasn't too sure about food at first, but now we love our veggies at dinnertime!

Not too sure about this....He definitely learned it's easier to drink his food!

Getting a little better....

Still messy, but getting the hang of it!

Just a few pics.....

Played so hard he fell asleep on his bear

Doesn't he look like he's up to something????

In need of an update....

I am waaaaayyyy behind in blogging. We've had a very exciting and hectic August so far and blogging has fallen to the end of my to-do list. I will be working on updates over the next few days, so stay tuned!

4 Months!

Yesterday my sweet baby boy turned 4 months old! It seems like he just joined us yesterday....kind of sad how times moves so quickly. We took him to the doctor last week for his check-up. He received 4 shots (boo), only cried for a second and stopped when he saw his daddy's face! We still have a chunk on our hands! He weighs 18 lbs (97th percentile) and is 26 1/2 inches (92nd percentile). We also started solids this week, which has been hilarious to watch!
I will post some new pics of our sweet boy when I get home tonight!

Beach

We had a great week at the beach with family.....lots of sun, good food, and a little bit of oil!

It now takes many attempts to get a decent family photo....

So much fun!

Summer Fun

Summer is flying by! Here are a few pics of my sweet boy!

Loves his bumbo!

Sweet Emma and Will

Don't they look cool!

Jack thought it was hilarious to let Will wear his Auburn hat

Little guy loves his Aunt Henny!

New Stats!

We went to the doctor yesterday for Will's 2 month check up (even though he's really 10 weeks). He had to get several shots, which were not fun, but Poppi was there to console him. He weighs 15 lbs (can we say CHUBBO!) and is 24 1/2 inches long. His weight is in the 97th percentile, height is in the 90th percentile.

Will is pretty consistently only getting up once during the night, which is awesome sleep for us. He is such a happy baby, smiling and laughing all the time. I'm finishing up my last week at work and can't wait to be home with him for the next few months!

Keep reading......I've done quite a few new posts!

My boys!

No explanation needed....

Sweet boy and his Momma!

Just had to share this pic.....

J's 5th Birthday!

A few weeks ago we traveled to Georgia to celebrate J's 5th birthday. This was Will's first roadtrip and he did awesome in the car! Here are a few celebration pics.

J got some golf clubs....now he can play with his daddy, Uncle Austin, and Poppi!

Our little athletes!

Sweet birthday boy!

The boys had to get in on the action too!

Chillin in my bumbo.....

Look at me...I can sit in my bumbo all by myself (for a minute at least...)

Getting a little tired now....need some assistance from Momma!

A few new pics.....

Bathtime fun! This kid LOVES his bath. He gets so mad when we get him out of the tub!

Will has the most adorable dimple on his cheek but rarely shows it off. This picture show his precious little dimple!

My happy baby!

Mother's Day 2010

My first Mother's Day with my precious baby boy!

6 Weeks!

I can't believe our sweet boy will be 6 weeks old on Friday. We go to the dr. Friday, so I will update stats this weekend. Here are a few things going on:

He now loves bath time!

Still hates to have his diaper changed.

He is a chunk! Eating about 4 oz every 3 hours.

Sleeping about 4 hours at a time at night.

He can flip from his belly to his back!!!!!

He loves napping on someone's chest!

This is how I was greeted at the door when I got home from bunko the other night :)

He loves bath time!

3 Years!

Wednesday, April 14 we celebrated our 3 year anniversary! It's amazing how quickly 3 years have gone by. We have done so much in 3 years but we agreed our best accomplishment is our sweet boy! Thanks to Mimi and Poppi for babysitting while Austin and I had a much-needed dinner to ourselves!

New Pictures!

Here are a few new pictures of our precious baby boy!
