Dancing and Jumping...

Dancing and jumping on the bed are daily activities in this household. Baker has always enjoyed music and I am seeing that more and more with Caleb. As someone who has always been passionate about music/lyrics/instruments, I hope to instill that in my children one day. As you can see, we always have to dance with both Baker and Caleb....and Baker always has to have Elmo, Big Bird, or Monkey dance too. Mommy's hands get rather full, but wouldn't trade these moments for the world. Caleb's smile and laugh melt my heart! (Oh and Josh just loves when I sing "Isn't HE lovely!" But it makes the kids laugh....I promise I won't sing it when they are older =) )..... And jumping on the bed.......well, boys will be boys. I figure if I can't stop them, I might as well join them!

Hasselhoff????

Baker's new thing is unzipping his pjs down and letting his chest hang out. It is absolutely hilarious!!!! I love the personality that my two year old displays! He makes me laugh on a regular basis!

Completely Slacking......

So, I have completely fallen off the wagon with the blog over the past month! Life has gotten busy around here for sure. I can definitely say that we have felt very blessed by friendships lately. My weeks are filled with playdates, lunch dates, bible study, community group, etc. I am still learning daily how to gracefully be a stay at home mom to an active, strong-willed two year old and keep my beautiful 6 month old alive. Today, I fished a piece of plastic out of his mouth that Baker put in there when I wasn't looking.....how long he had been gagging on it is still a mystery. Once my heart started beating again, I literally fell to my knees and thanked the Lord for watching over my babies in all the moments I cannot! The past month has brought lots of fun to our lives: Baker's birthday, Dedicating Caleb at church, Wednesday's Toots Dates with Baker and buddy, Cohen, visits with Uncle Burt, and Florida beating UT!!!!!

A glimpse in our world....

Busy times in the Watson household. Baker just turned 2 and Caleb is now 5 months. You can see from the videos that Caleb is an absolute doll. He smiles and laughs all the time. He is my lover child! Baker is a daily joy. His personality gets bigger day by day. He is VERY full of himself. As daddy bribed him with a cookie.....his monkey impression was a little more high pitched than normal! Never a dull moment! I'm truly loving this season of life with my kids!

My Beloved

Oh how often I forget that I am loved.....desired.....wanted.....faithfully and forever! No waiting, no day to day, no empty promises! The Lord calls us his Beloved. He loves us when we are unlovable; He always takes us back; He is always there! His love never fails! I am thankful for the blessing of music that reminds me of these promises.....and always brings me back to Him!

Baker started school!

I'm not sure whose heart broke more this morning.....Baker's or Mommy's. Baker would NOT put on his backpack or carry his lunchbox. So maybe one day he will and I can "recreate" that first day of school picture. This was the best we could do. He had to "show" Elmo his backpack before we could leave. I am so excited for Baker because I know that he will benefit greatly from this opportunity, but I can't help but feel very sad at the moment. Josh told me that they call it "Mother's Day Out" for a reason and I need this too! I'm sure I do, but I definitely miss my baby!

A few highlights...

Sometimes I get on kicks and really do well with updating our blog. This month has not been one of those times. Here is a few pics to let you all know what has been going on in the Watson world!



A few professional pics we had made. Caleb is so huge it makes me laugh! Baker wasn't into them at all!


Gator fun with some of our favorite friends....the Darnells.

Bed time fun!

My angel! It is hard to resist this face!

Baker doesn't love to share toys! he likes to climb in the walker and fly around the house.
