The Baker Sisters Come to Portland

Anne-Marie and Erika came to visit. The girls had lots of fun with their "Aunties" that came prepared with Valentine crafts and Disney Princess sticker books/paper dollies. Brooke and Hadley enjoyed the one-on-one attention that only two fun Aunties can provide. Thank you for making the trek to Portland to spend time with us!

I think you can see that Hadley takes after the Swanson side of the family. She and Erika have the same color of hair.

Also, this is my 400th post! :)

Costco Shoppers!

Words, Words, Words!

Hadley is full of words these days: Harry Potter, TV, Tinker Bell, gra-i-ty (name of a song - Defying Gravity), castle (shrieked when the opening credits of any Disney movie appear with Sleeping Beauty's castle), bath, potty, wipe, shower, nekkid (are we sensing a theme here?) and, spoken with a french accent, "eh bottttooool" (a bottle).

Brooke has some new phrases: "It's nothing to get upset about" (this refers to the toilet overflowing at school) and "Maybe we can get it at Fred Meyer?!" (She says this whenever she wants an item and I tell her we don't have it. Keep in mind, she has never even been to Fred Meyer - we shop at Safeway - she just hears her teachers and classmates talking about it.)

Blake's cousins Anne-Marie and Erika arrive tomorrow, can't wait!

Sound up for this video!
