My First Visit to Church

Rob and I had been planning on getting to church for a long time but as everyone knows with a baby it makes it a little more complicated. So, Rob went a couple of weeks ago and scouted out the nursery and took notes (literally) to find out where we needed to go in order for everything to go smoothly.
I was very nervous about this because: 1. I was leaving him with someone I didn't know 2. he's such a Brut and I was really fearing him being in a room with smaller children because he has been known from time to time to pull some hair and also tackle others 3. it was during nap time meaning he would either have no nap at all or a very short one. We choose the later, because when baby doesn't have a nap, baby is NOT happy.
As we were standing in line checking in, what do I see in front of me? Oh, just a little girl about Baron's age with beautiful blond pig tails, bows, everything. All I kept thinking was, please do not let her be in the same room as Baron because her little bows are going to be out of that hair in a matter of minutes and the pigtails will definitely not be looking like they did when she arrived. Thankfully she wasn't...phew.
All in all, it went great. No problems that we know of. Just hope that it stays that way.

New Words...

So we have been trying to teach some new words to Baron and it seems like he's picked up on "kitty" and "uh - oh". I didn't notice it at first but when I would point at the kitty, it sounded like he was saying daddy but soon thereafter every time we would pass the cat he would say it. It's so cute...although we're going a little overboard and making him do it all the time.

Friday Walk

Since the weather has been getting much warmer outside we have been taking Baron for more and more walks down on the trails. He seems to like it and especially likes it when he gets to see the dogs and even better when they stop to talk to us.

A few steps here, a few steps there...

We're making more progress with the whole walking thing. He's gaining more courage each time. We have noticed him walking between anything that has a distance of about 2-3 feet but lately he's starting to just walk out in the open. It's usually a few steps and then down. I think that Rob counted 4 steps the other day. So exciting for us, we are ready for the next level...

Baron & Taylyn

This past weekend we went home to see the parents and picked up Taylyn on the way. I don't know who was more excited, she or Baron. Once we were on the road, I think they went back and forth with the "ahh's" for a good 20 mins, all while he tried to snag a piece of her hair and she continuously trying to deflect him. We enjoyed it. It really makes a difference when she's around. He's really entertained by her and I can definitely say the same for her.

Piano Lessons with Rob

Of course Rob wants Baron to become this child prodigy, so he started giving him lessons every night from 5.30pm to about when Baron has had enough. Not really...Baron just likes to smack the keys and see what happens. Half the time I don't even think that he wants to do that, because he keeps wanting to crawl inside and close the lid. He's curious where the sounds are coming from. However, he is demonstrating excellent form. He may be that child prodigy after all.
