update

A lot of things have been happening in the Baker household.  The weather is finally warming up a bit.  Today I took my first walk outside since fall.  It was nice when the sun was out but got a bit windy and chilly when the sun went behind the clouds, which there seemed to be a lot of.  It was nice to be able to be outside.  The snow is almost gone.  YEAH!!!!!  Tomorrow we set our clocks forward for daylight savings time and in the next couple of weeks we will have the first official day of spring.  Can't wait.  Love the change in the weather. 

You can actually see grass.  Love this!!
Also, a change for me is I am noticing that a lot of my pants are not fitting quite like I had hoped.  Things are sticking out and it is making it difficult to button pants.  The other day I had an urge to go see what I could find for cheap pants.  Luckily I have found some.  They feel much better. 
No pictures of that, sorry.  At the end of the month I will show the 5 month photo. 

Courtesy of the Rancourt grandparents, we have ourselves a car seat.  I searched through a lot of them on Amazon and found that the Chicco brand was highly recommended.  I know a lot of friends that have this one too.  Thanks mom and dad for this.  Next up is the extra base for Chris' car and the adapter for the stroller.  Putting a picture of that here which I realized I haven't done before.  It's a BOB stroller that is off  road.  Chris wanted an off road stroller for disc golfing and this thing new is really expensive.  He did some research on Craigslist and found someone selling it cheap.  It was obviously really popular because if he hadn't been the first to see it, he wouldn't have gotten it.  Good thing we got it when we did because we haven't seen anything as cheap as we got it for. 

The second photo is of the rain fly that usually doesn't come with the stroller but the lady we were buying from sold it with it. 

Chris has been busy in the kids room making a lot of changes.  He got the painting mostly done.  He just has to add waves to the top of the blue.  It looks really nice.  I even had him paint the doors because I thought it would look weird with 2 white doors in the middle of the room.  He also replaced the windows.  He had done one and you could see the difference it made.  The old one was all foggy and definitely was letting in some drafts. The new ones fit perfectly and look so much nicer in the room.  Also they easily open and close.  That is soooo great. 
He also put in a light switch.  The only way to turn on the light before was by a pull chain in the middle of the room.  This would have been very inconvenient.  But with a little ingenuity and some of his dad's help, he put in a light switch without burning down the house.  He did get a few cob webs in the beard though.  Oh yeah, he is growing a beard for a race that he is doing at the end of June.  They are having a best beard contest.  Not a big fan of it myself but he wants to do it so I let him.  Ha ha!!  Will show you a picture of it next blog. 

That's all for now.  Will leave you with a much neglected photo of the dog.  I haven't posted one since I started the baby stuff.  Sorry Rocky.  He is doing well as are the rest of us.
