my lil baker

caleb got this cute little baker set for christmas due to his love of cooking and wanted to make us breakfast with his new 'tools'.
filling the muffins just right with his new measuring spoons
all ready to go
this was the 1st time i let him put something in the oven by himself and sure enough, he got burned! poor guy had to have ice on it almost all day :( i blame the tiny muffin tin for making him put his hand too close to the hot rack! he said he needs to get his own oven mitt so it won't happen again :)
very concerned with his work

perfect mini blueberry muffins!!! great job, buddy!

names

i've had fun checking our baby girl name poll every day, so i thought i'd change the names to some more of our favorites to see what ya'll think. after i've posted most/all of them on a poll, i'll tally all of the winners and have a final poll to help us decide baby girl's name. of course, we may think of a totally different one than has even been mentioned, but it's fun to see your opinions anyway :) so, go vote on poll #2! (on the right sidebar under her ultrasound picture) oh, and "macy" won poll #1.

christmas morning

despite his barking issues, santa must've thought ollie was a good boy this year. this picture doesn't do the bone justice though...it's almost as big as him! he looks hilarious trying to carry it around.
