Two years ago today..

Happy 2 year anniversary to the love of my life... I couldn't imagine life without you. I am truly blessed to have you as my husband...

Good times Baker style...

We miss everyone already....

Yummy yummy

well folks my little boy is eating solids. first we started out with rice cereal, but I got the reaction of "Mom, this stuff is for babies! Give me the real stuff!"



So we moved on to applesauce and banana baby food. he loves it... sigh... he's growing up too fast. he's chattin up a storm nowadays. he likes to join in on the conversations between mom and dad. i am thoroughly enjoying every minute of him! I love watching him grow up and seeing him discover the new things his tiny body is capable of. body part discovery of the month... his tongue. he figured out that he can make new noises if he uses it! its pretty cute.

4 1/2 months already....

I would like to introduce to you....

the mullet.

Picture this

We got a new camera!

Just in time for vacation....

East coast here we come. Now the getting there part should be interesting.

4 hours in the carseat that he hates. A six to seven hour flight. A three hour time difference to adjust to....

One thing is for sure. People are going to hate us on that plane. Oh well! It will be an adventure!

Just an average day...

between



work




dishes




laundry



& taking care of a baby should make me feel like....



this at the end of every day...

but instead I end my day or only make it halfway through in tears. Being a working Mom is stressful, but I am so grateful because it brings me to my knees and reminds me that I cannot be a good parent on my own. I want to reflect the goodness of Christ, and I hope that my son grows up seeing that. I want nothing more than for my sweet little Oliver to know Him.

It is only Him that gets me through each day...

well the encouragement I get from my ever so patient husband helps too :) I am so grateful that I have him. Oliver is so blessed to have such an awesome daddy! I couldn't have asked for a better father for my boy.

Only sometimes....

do i feel like this....



but then I see this beautiful little face.....



and i can't help but smile....

he's worth all of the stress, work, and bald spots....
