Gobble till you Wobble!

This year Eric, Olivia and I went in to our hometown to spend Thanksgiving with our extended families. First stop was to the Barker Thanksgiving, where Olivia slept the entire time and then over to Eric's Grandfather's house for yet another Thanksgiving dinner. Olivia was awake for the second so she did get to enjoy some good Thanksgiving day food.


Here we are arriving at Eric's grandfather's before the festivities begin.



She loved sitting in this chair. I think it made her feel like a big girl!

Here's Ryson! His shirt inspired this blog's title.

After dinner we let Olivia play with the ads as we were going through them and Boy did she have a time!

The piano was also some major fun!

Peek a Boo I See You!

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was as great as ours!
Happy Holidays!

Introducing Baby Ryson Calloway Baker

I would like to introduce Olivia's newest cousin Ryson Calloway Baker. He was born on Novemeber 11th at 1:58 pm weighing 7lbs 12oz and 19.25 inches long.
Here are some of the pics of his arrival and homecoming. Fair warning there are a few pictures of the c-section that are a bit graphic for those of you with weak bellies. I find them very interesting and to be honest I'm a little jealous I didn't think to ask someone to take some for mine. :)

Here's Aunt Shannon right before her c-section all ready to go.

Here he is getting ready to make his grand entrance.

Almost there!

There he is saying, "PUT ME BACK IN!!!!"

The first cry

CONGRATULATIONS SHANNON AND JONATHAN!!!


Can you believe it? My baby's walking!

Here are some videos of Olivia walking. She started taking her first steps November 1st at 10 months old. Sorry they are kinda fuzzy. We didn't have much light in the room since it was getting close to her bedtime. Hope you enjoy!!

Halloween Time!

This Halloween Olivia was a flower. Unfortunately we didn't get to do much because she was sick as a dog as you can probably tell. We got her two costumes but we were lucky getting her in the flower before she got fet up. Maybe one day soon I'll get her in the fish costume and take some pictures to post.

Eric and I finished carving this pumpkin about 10 minutes before Trick or Treat started. I just had to have it out there for all the tricker treaters. We didn't have a single one come to our door.



Doesn't she look sweet in her little flower costume? Too bad she was too cranky and sick and sick to take around and show off.





Teeth brushing, Pots n' Pans & Other Miscellaneous Cuteness

Time again for some more pictures.



Olivia brushing her teeth for the first time. Believe it or not she actually liked it!

No better place to take a nap then on Pappy Jack's belly


Miss Olivia absolutely LOVES her cheese poofs. Thank Goodness for Gerber Graduate puffs.


She just discovered the cabinet that holds the pots and pans.

Like Father, like Daughter. Olivia is too busy watching Family Guy to be bothered with pictures. :)
