After the Break








I can't even begin to explain to you all the fun we are having at the Baker household! Lil' Ron is getting bigger by the minute. Although he looks like he is only 6 months (we had a little girl at Applebee's guess his age), he is almost 9 months! And since both Ron and I are small people, we just sort of expected him to be too! We always like surprises though! His next doctor's appointment is in less than a month so we'll see how much he weighs and everything. Thank goodness he doesn't have to get any shots this time!



We keep thinking that the little guy is either going to get some teeth or start walking soon. He has all of the signs going for him but I guess it is not so! He has been getting a bit more braver (at least Erin at daycare seems to think so) when "cruising." He has had a couple of falls and bumps but nothing serious, just being a boy! And in the pictures above, he is everywhere and getting into everything!

As you can see above, Lil' Ron still enjoys his bathtime. Thanks to Nancy (one of G's best friends from grad school) Ron can enjoy a duck bath. She, her boyfriend and Kate brought him the bath and some toys when they visited this summer after he was born. Lil' Ron told me the other day that he just can't wait to see them again! He also tried turning off the TV several times during the Republican debate - I wonder what he thought about them??

In other news, Lil' Ron for the most part has been sleeping through the night. There are a few days when he does not but if that is the case, he usually falls right back asleep. He has also been venturing outside of his baby food and only wants food and drink from mommy's plate! So, I guess I have to now start cooking for 3! He still drinks bottles but only when mom or dad gives them to him. He refused bottles at daycare left and right! He might only drink one while he's there 8 to 5 everyday!

We can't wait to see what happens every day with him! He is just that much fun! I am so excited for this Spring/Summer when we can take him to the park, zoo, etc. and be able to really interact! We also booked our trip for Holland so we will be going for 2 weeks in July and then finishing up in Florida! By the way, Lil' Ron has a new cousin, Kendall Renee, born this January. She is definitely cute and we can't wait to see her soon!
