Baker: 12 Months!






I can't believe how fast this year has gone by!  It can't have been 12 months already, there is just no way!  And yet it has actually been almost 13 months at the time I'm writing this.  Crazy!!

So as of Baker's 12 month check up he has racked up the following stats:

  • Weight:  21 lbs 12 oz (31st percentile)
  • Length:  29.25 in (38th percentile)
  • Pants/Shorts: 12 months
  • Shirts: 9-12 months
  • Socks: 12-24 months
  • Shoes: Size 4
He is small for his age, but we think he might be hitting his growth spurt late.  It seems like for the last few weeks all he wants to do is EAT!  Well, eat and play.  He never stops moving, he just wants to walk all over the house and get his hands into everything.  We have baby gates that we keep up in our bedroom and they worked great with Dutch, well Baker will just walk over and move them out of the way.  He wants to go where he wants go and you better not try to stop him!

When you do stop him, he has got some attitude!  Its pretty funny/cute right now, but I know that we have to put a stop to it because he will only get worse with time.  When I tell him "No" he will look me right in the eyes and yell at me.  Sometimes he just yells a grunting sound, other times he will say No back at me.  And he will try to stare you down too.  He will just look at you with a hard look and hold your eyes.  I stare back at him until he looks away, then I secretly do a victory dance in my head :)

He is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the next few months.  This Momma is really going to be learning some patience. 

Well, now for the real reason you are here:  PICTURES!

Dutch's 4th Birthday Party

Image
For Dutch's birthday we decided to go to San Angelo and visit with Dan's family.  We had a great time! I think Dutch had a good time too, he definitely enjoyed his birthday party. We arrived Thursday evening with a couple of HUNGRY little boys.  After we got them fed they played for a bit and then it was time for bed.  On Friday we just hung out around the house and prepared for his birthday on Saturday.  We did go out for dinner to Catfish Corner though...YUM!  I, of course, did not have catfish.  I usually get their chicken strips which are really good, but this time I went with a cheeseburger and it was really good too.  Everyone else had their catfish and said it was delicious.  Dan decided to do one over on them.  He ordered the 'All You Can Eat' plate, but he refused to fill up on the sides, he went full on with the catfish.  I think he stuffed down about 12 pieces! On Saturday, we got right to work getting things ready for tha...

Unexpected Adventure

Image
We went to hang out in the river at the Berry's house after nap time.  They have a great spot that is only a few inches deep, is covered in smooth rocks, and the water flows nicely.  The boys really like it there, especially when they are allowed to throw rocks. While we were there a few weeks ago the wind picked up.  I handed Baker to Dan so I could get out of the water.  The wind made Baker cold and he was clinging to Dan so tight!  They made their way back to the car while I got Dutch out of the water.  By the time Dutch and I got to the car Baker was sitting in the open trunk wearing Dan's shirt. Once we go the boys dried off a bit we got into the car.  Soon the rain started.  We had so much fun sitting in the car watching the rain! It was a wonderfully unexpected adventure.

On the Train!

Image
Dutch and I went for our first train ride today.  We had a blast!  Dutch loved every minute of it, he was all wide eyes and smiles.  He named all the train cars we saw (he chose names from his How to Train a Train book).  Our train car was named Nathan.  Santa made an appearance about half way through the two hour trip.  A little while later Mrs. Claus gave us some yummy sugar cookies.  It was an awesome day and I'm so glad I was able to share it with Dutch! {We've got our tickets, now we have to wait to board the train} {Dutch got very cold while we waited} {Finally, we are on the train} {They read us a story about the train ride} {Santa!} {Santa gave him a train whistle, all the kids were blowing them on the train} {Mrs. Claus is handing out cookies} {We are on our way back to the station}
