Last Day with Nana and Papa

On Monday, Brad's parents had to go back to TN. We were so thankful that they flew all the way up here to babysit Baker so that we could go to NYC for Jen's wedding. That was a huge blessing and we were so shocked when they told us in June that they were coming!! Wow! We wish we could have spent more time with them but Baker got all of the lovin' instead. And poor Brad only got to see them Sunday night and Monday before he left for work. So, our next visit with them will be different!

On our trip to NYC, we bought Baker a few happies. The much loved doll stroller, a little Elmo fan, and some dinosaur books from the Scholastic store in Soho. The stroller is a HUGE hit, the books are fun, but he's a little cautious about the fan. It doesn't have a cover over the blades because they are flimsy plastic, kind of like cellophane. But he doesn't like the way it feels when he touches it so it's made him a bit timid of it. There are a few pictures of him playing with his new stuff below.
Keeping his distance from the fan since he stuck his fingers in it! He makes the funniest face when it blows. I could do it over and over again just to watch his little expressions.

Bleeker with his favorite person in the world...Andy! It's because he spoiled him as a puppy when he played ball with him non-stop. Now Bleeker expects it from him when he sees him!

Coloring Nana and Papa a pretty picture. Just look at that face!

Nana and Papa get ready to leave. :( Baker did not want to cooperate for this photo. He was very upset that we took him away from the stroller for just a second!

Getting very brave with his new fan!

Baker playing his new stroller. We got Franz out (that's what we named his Austrian doll Nana and Papa bought him over their trip this past winter), to put in it.

Thank God Franz is just a doll because I don't think the way he put him in would follow the safety guidelines.

Drawing with his new magic markers and magical pad that N & P brought him.

I had cut Baker's nails moments before this photo was taken. I noticed that Baker had the clippers in his hand and was trying to clip them while watching Sesame Street. Like all toddlers this age, his mimicking has really taken off lately and it's so cute to watch!
