"Stuff" I am doing...

Hmmm, to try to catch up, what is going on in the Baker household...

Steve is still working at Kenworth and enjoying all of the challenges. He does a bit of traveling and once he goes somewhere actually fun, B and I will go along!!

I started working part time for a demolition company and am now working full time to help them cover some employee shifts. It is just temporary but has been difficult to be away all week. B goes to our neighbors Beth while we are at work and last week he fell asleep at the dinner table twice. She does a great job of tuckering him out.

Brecken got gymnastics lessons for Christmas. The word "lessons" is used loosely, but he has really enjoyed playing on the trampolines and the bouncy blue floor. He is one strong kid and hangs from the bars all by himself. He thinks it is so fun and giggles while hanging there. We try to go once or twice a week. It is a great playtime.

B is still obsessed with the vacuum and now that he is so tall (almost 3 feet at 15 months) he can turn the dials on the dishwasher and washing machine. He has also decided that the towel bar on the oven is his own pull up bar. He is VERY close to walking but just won't let go of the one last finger he is holding onto.

Hopefully I can keep up with this blog a little better than I have been. Keep your fingers crossed.

Christmas and New Years 2010

Poor Brecken, he woke up on Christmas morning with his first fever. He was so hot, his temperature was over 102 and he just wanted to cuddle with his mom and dad. He was an absolute trooper and opened all of his presents and smiled for pictures. His Beppe, Grandpa, Aunt Shelley and Yaya came over to celebrate the day with us. We had a great brunch and fun watching B open all of his presents. Most of the day was spent cuddling on the couch and having him sleep off and on. Luckily, he woke up the next day with no fever and was back to his old self.

For New Years, we ventured up north, to our friends house. Courtney and Troy and their kids Chanelle and Denman welcomed us with a great dinner and lots of play time for the kids and drinks and dancing for the adults. It was a great way to spend the holiday.
This is how Christmas day ended. Poor kid and daddy were wiped out!!
Even though B didn't feel well, he was a good sport and opened all of his presents with big smiles.
Christmas Eve...Steve just finished reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to B.
Our miniature Charlie Brown tree. . . I loved it, Steve wanted it to be 2 feet taller.

B got lots of wonderful presents and it is so fun to watch him learn how each works and get excited at all the new sounds and movements of the toys. Thanks to everyone for helping to make it a wonderful holiday.
