Double your Bakers!

Finn found a new friend in the mirror today!
That little twin sure is cute!
Finn shows off one of his snacks, and his climbing skills that took him to the top of the counter.
Erin's getting ready for a week away, so it was an action packed family weekend before she left...
We'll miss her, but will be visiting her soon in the Windy City!

Halloween Parade!!!

Well, it's the moment all of Bakertown has been waiting for...the Nat Geo halloween parade!
Finn put on his Killer "B" costume (B is for Bakertown, right!?) and headed off in search of tricks and treats!
"Bzz. You see this wagon? I expect it to be filled. Bees need sugar after all.""Here I come! Watch out! I float like a butterfly and sting like a BEE!"
"Hey, where did all the people go? I've got an empty cart, here folks...let's fill it up!"
"Hey, how did this ladybug get into my cart? She better not be sitting on my Reese's cups. Those things are pure gold!"
"There you go, Ellie. I could use a break from all this pushin' ladybugs around!"Finn was off to the races...nothing was going to stop him from candy - not even candy itself!


"excuse me! comin' through!"


"Watch it, people! I'll run you over if you get in my way!!"



Well, the big secret has been revealed - Finn is a Killer B for Halloweeen! When the parade was over, he was tuckered out, and went to sleep, dreaming of honeycombs and unpollinated flowers...

Finn the Plumber!

Finn T. Baker here, your average American...like my buddy Joe Juice Pack to my left here!
I wanted to show you that I'm just like you - I wear my goofy hat and let my little Milk belly hang out, because I can!
Anyway, America - first off, I love you, and secondly, don't forget to vote! It's getting closer!
And you know what else is close? Halloween...the whole city is buzzing over my upcoming costume!
Love,
Finn

Pumpkin Patches and Drag Queens!

It was just your typical day in Bakertown...visiting a Pumpkin patch and attending "Miss Adams Morgan", DC's most fabulous Drag show!
But first, Finn makes his pumpkin selection...
"This looks good, guys! Dad, I'm a little sore from all this pumpkin picking, so can you give me a hand lifting it into the car?""Hmm, maybe we should buy two pumpkins! In the meantime, I'm going to do some pushups on these pumpkins."
It was a beautiful fall day out in the country...and we actually saw a real "Main Street"...
And speaking of everyday folk on Main Street, that night we hit the town for Miss Adams Morgan, with Erin dressed as Mrs. Sarah Palin herself (you betcha!) and Andy as her Secret Service Agent! Here, we pose with "Alma Chillrens"!
It was a wild night out in DC! Here, Sarah poses with some true "Beltway insiders..."
Just another day in Bakertown. :)

Excitement is building in Bakertown!!

Every day gets Finn one day closer to his first Halloween... (ok, we're pretty boring here in Bakertown, so we have to look forward to something!)

"GUYS, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I AM EXCITED AND WANT TO LET THE WORLD KNOW!""There's a clue in these pictures about my costume...can you figure it out?!"
"This is a coaster. Here's a hint...I will NOT dress up as a coaster for Halloween."
"Raise your hand if you know what I'm going to be! And no, I am not going to dress up as Grandpa (either one of them) for Halloween!"
Here, Finn shows off his sweet walking skills...
"Look mom! No hands - and I can clap and walk at the same time!"



If you listen closely to the video clip below, Finn tells you exactly what he's going to be for Halloween!


The excitement is building!

Another weekend, another festival...

Finn checked out Sunday's street festival...it was a beautiful fall day to do it!
"I'm maxin' and relaxin' in my stroller!" "Sitting with Dad listening to live music is always fun!"
"I can hardly believe how big and strong I am! I mean, look at me standing!"
"Hey mom! I love attending street festivals, they're totally awesome!"
A final stop by the playground capped Finn's exciting weekend...now, in case you're wondering, it looks like Finn and Mom are staring at something...and it COULD be Finn's halloween costume...
What ever could it be??

Hot dogs! Peanuts!

Finn loves to push his little hot dog cart around the house! His balance is getting really good, it's so wild to see him get closer to walking!"Hey there! You lookin' for some toys? I got great deals in this here cart - I got books, shiny plastic things, some wooden trains - this stuff's top quality, or my name's not Finn Thomas!"
There's always the occasional stumble...
Halloween is getting closer - and I know that the Bakertown observers are looking forward to Finn's costume! So here's your first clue...
"Ouch!"
See if you can figure it out!
Love,

Standing, sitting, falling and crawling!

A few more pictures to share from a weekend in Bakertown! Finn is such a tall man, standing up with Jake in his new PJs...Sitting on Dad sure is fun!
Whoops...there's no better way to fall off the wagon than head first! (No babies were harmed in the production of this blog post)
Finn popped the collar on his Puma suit and headed to school...
And he did a little showing off of his sweet crawling skillz!

That boy sure can move!
