End of Dad at home...

Andy is getting ready to go back to work, and this time at home has been truly awesome! Finn and Daddy have been spending tons of time together...eating Peanut Butter sandwiches...
Going to cafes for muffins...
And visiting the Pandas at the Zoo!
The flamingos at the Zoo...And playing on giant pizzas!
Can't believe it'll be June soon, one year since we started our Hong Kong adventures!

Wyatt awake!

It's what everyone has been waiting for - pictures of Wyatt with his eyes open! Please enjoy this important collection of still-art. This first image is called "Changing Table Thoughts."
We call this one "Basking in the Sunlight at Dawn."
"Waving Arms Excitedly"
"Fist Bump-to-Chest for My Homies."
"Muscle Beach Man."
"Reflective Thoughts of Milk."
We hope you enjoyed the gallery! Next stop, the Smithsonian!

Blastoff in Bakertown!

Finn was lucky to get a present from his cousin Sage - an air-powered rocket launcher!
3-2-1 Blastoff!!!
When the mosquitos started biting, we moved the launch indoors!

Thanks Vermont Bakers!

Big Brother Time!

Finn has been so great with Wyatt! He loves to give "gentle touch" and hold him on the couch.
What a great big brother!

Good times around DC...

It's been a great few weeks now that we're enjoying having Wyatt home! Aunt Joanna and Uncle Pete came to visit...
We have been getting out and about, including a visit to the building museum!
Daddy builds a tower with Finn...
And Mommy is happy to be out of the house!
Finn tries on his new Spider Man sunglasses before another excursion...
And a visit to the Natural History Museum was loads of fun for Finn!
Finn learns what it would be like to live in a termite mound...
And enjoys the Smithsonian carousel!
Then before heading home to Baby Wyatt, a little soccer on the Mall!
Tomorrow, Wyatt will be 2 weeks old! Time flies in Bakertown...

Arts, crafts, farms and bathtime!

Dad's been home and having fun with 'the boys'! It feels fun to say that now! First we started with some finger painting on the porch...Wyatt did some good sleeping during painting...
And Finn showed his "stick as brush" technique...
Then we moved inside and played with Finn's new farm...here, he demonstrates what his Uncle Geoff taught him about keeping the barn clean and tidy! Now, if we could only get him to apply that skill to the rest of the play area...
After all that playing on the farm, Wyatt needed a little bath in the sink! He was only partially asleep for this...
Wyatt cozies up in his new towel after bathtime! What a cute couple, eh?!
We pulled the swing down from the attic - and Wyatt has settled into it quite nicely!

We're enjoying this time together so much!

Wyatt's in the house!

Wyatt's been home for a few days now, and still hasn't quite figured out this whole "body clock" thing yet...lots of sleeping around the house...
Even kisses can't seem to wake him much!
Wait...are those two eyes peeking out?
And...we're back to sleep.
In other breaking news from Wyatt, his belly button cord fell off!
Love,
A&E

Wyatt, meet the world!

We welcomed Wyatt Robert Baker into the world on May 6th at 6:10am! He promptly relaxed and took a nap. Being 9lbs 4oz will do that to you...
There's a trend here - Wyatt relaxing...
Daddy and baby - both look extremely tired, but only one can sleep whenever and wherever he wants!Mommy and Wyatt take a little nap together - "See Mommy? that's what I'm sayin'! Naps rule.""E-Pa looks like he's sleeping, but it's just an optical illusion - he's looking down at me...sleeping."
Big Brother Finn blesses Wyatt with the ability to be incredibly cute!
Daddy teaches Finn the art of holding Baby Wyatt.A kiss on the forehead!Uncle Tommy checks out the newest flanker on the rugby squad!
Mommy and her two boys share a moment...
"Ok Wyatt, here's my runny nose - get to know it!"
Mimi and the newest Baker Boy!
Finn brought Wyatt his monkey to keep him company...if this picture doesn't put a smile to YOUR face...well, you must be asleep, too!
What an amazing week!
Love,
A&E
