What's up Wednesday!

"What's Up Wednesday" is my new thing. I'll try to post every Wednesday or at least every other to keep the blog going. It feels like there isn't anything blog worthy going on, when actually there is tons of fun crazy kid stuff going on!

Last Thursday was a beautiful day and unseasonably warm so we decided to have a "picnic snack". It has rained so much that our backyard never seems to dry out so we headed  the side yard. The kids had a blast having graham crakers and milk on the blanket and the neighbors even joined us for a minute.

Please excuse my HUGE shadow in the pic!

We're very into dress up these days. We played at Hadley's house on Friday and Melissa sent Leah home with a ballerina skirt, Belle heals, and a wand to borrow for the weekend. Leah kept it on most of the weekend, it was so cute but for some reason I forgot to take a picture. We let her pick out a tutu dress at Costco and now she wants to wear that everyday!

Bubby has to get in on the dress up action too!

I walked out of the bathroom yesterday morning and found Trindon sitting in my bedroom decked out in multiple headbands. Leah had him all dressed up and he was just playing along.

And then there's Bubby Ballerina!



What you talking about mama?

Pretty sure that's what these looks are saying. He's started giving all kinds of funny looks where he drops his eyebrows, sometimes he even sucks his cheeks in while he does it.

It's been a little while...

Not too much blog worthy news from the Baker Family, but I thought I would post a few new pics and give an update.

Leah has started calling Trindon "Bubby". It's cute and it stuck so if you hear us refer to Bubby you know who were talking about. Bubby can't walk yet, but he can climb. He likes to climb the stairs (with a spotter) and he really loves to climb these steps and then try to pull himself up into Leah's bed. I finally decided I had to put them away after he fell off.

We call Bubby our little "techy" because he goes after all the electronics. The DVD player has to be turned sideways because he knows how to turn it on and open it. At least with it sideways he can only access the power button. If Leah is watching a movie he likes to turn it on and off and listen to hear squeal "My movie! My movie!". He's also been known to get a few choice words out of his daddy when he turned the computer off during a video game. Good for you Bubby!

The other night we were all upstairs watching a movie on the DVD player and Trindon grabbed the remote for Direct TV. Since we weren't using the Direct TV box at the time neither Phil or I thought to take it away from him immediately. He played with it for a second and then moved on to something else. It wasn't until later after the kids had gone to bed that we realized he had cancelled the shows we were trying to record on the DVR, and had instead recorded a show of his own. This is the funny part.....he recorded "The Worlds Strongest Man Competition". That's our muscle man!

Leah was practicing her balancing in this picture. She loves to play rough and wild with Daddy!

She keeps asking if we can go stay in a hotel. Our little traveler is feeling couped up I guess. I told her we would go to Dallas for Trindon's birthday and stay in a hotel. She talks about it no less than twice a day. We were reading a book a couple of weeks ago that talked about an animal having a tail. She told me "I don't have a tail I have a bum." Her favorite thing to do these days is go to Cherry Berry, which is the new frozen yogurt place here in Durant. We go at least once a week and she refers to it as her "favorite place".
