The Baker Six: Pretty Girl!

Pretty Girl!

Teeka is our pretty girl and she is growing so fast. She is almost 8 months old and that really blows my mind. She has been so much fun. She has recently added a third tooth and is working on her fourth. I would say that she is ready for steak and potatoes, but the girl is picky to say the least. She is totally resisting solid foods and I have resorted to feeding her solids through a syringe. She hates it, but she is definitely in need of more calories, so we will do this until she decides that mom really is the boss and gives in. Girls really are bossy, huh? I love it!

Teeka is defying all milestones and doing things at her own passe and exactly when she wants to and in no particular order. It cracks me up. I think that is that sassy little attitude again. If the book says do this now....she does it later! She is getting up on all fours and rocking and she army crawls and rolls all over the living room. She is getting into her bothers toys now and they are so patient with her. Things that they would get mad at each other for, they give Teeka kisses for. They are so good to her!

Teeka grinding her teeth. She does this a lot. I think they are really hurting her.

Lance and I met in Sheridan, Wy during my last semester of Dental Hygiene school in 1999. We dated for a year and a half and were married on June 17, 2000. We have made our home in Sheridan at the base of the Big Horn Mountains were Lance has established himself as a great Carpenter/Construction worker and Polo Field Manager for the Flying H Ranch. I work part time doing Dental Hygiene in Buffalo, Wy and full time as a mother of four adorable children. Our lives have been so blessed in many ways, but most of all by being able to raise four healthy kids. Let me introduce you to "Teeka & The Boys"!

Garrett is our oldest son and was born on July 23, 2003. He is a bright, energetic, sweet, sensitive big brother and is always so aware of other peoples feelings. He has been such an easy child to raise, disipline and teach. Garrett was born with a syndrome called Arthrogryposis which gave him severe club feet and mildly "clubed" hands. The first two years of his life presented him with many challenges as he was faced with multiple castings, therapy, and surgeries. I believe that this is partially what has shaped his sweet personality and he has pulled through it all with unbelievable progress. You would never know by looking at him that he has this diagnosis. He loves to run, jump, wrestle and play all kinds of sports just like every other boy his age. And he is growing so fast!

Our second pregnancy, we were blessed with our beautiful identical twin boys, Chase and Sawyer. They were born via emergency c-section on October 18, 2005 after fighting twin to twin transfusion their whole pregnancy. We were blessed once again with two more healthy baby boys! Sawyer was the first born and older than Chase by one minute. He is as sweet as he looks with those big puppy dog eyes, but don't let him fool you...he is as stubborn as they come! I think he gets that from me:) Sawyer loves to do everything his big brother does and has secretly learned to tease his brothers without getting caught. He is such a joy to have around and seems to be the more vocal of the two and the protector of Chase.

Chase was the second born of the twins and also the smallest one. He was suffering the worst from the twin to twin transfusion that was taking place and entered the world at an unusually small birth weight for his gestation of 2 lbs. 14 oz.. However, it never slowed him down. He has always been the more active one, even in the ultrasounds before they were born. Sawyer was always sleeping and Chase was bouncing off the walls. He has never stopped smiling since the day he learned how and he is such a scrapy little guy. He gives his brothers a run for their money every time they wrestle and is not afraid to do most anything. He also is a "wanna-be-a Garrett" and whatever Garrett does he has two little beans following right behind him.

Needlees to say, our third pregnancy Garrett was really hoping for a GIRL! His wish came true as we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Teeka Bailee into the world on July 28, 2008. She was our biggest baby weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz. and came into the world ready for some steak! She is our little butterball and the sweetest thing in the world. She loves to watch her big brothers as they smother her with kisses and she has the cutest crooked smile you have ever seen. She is such a great baby...sleeping through the night and never over demanding of attention in anyway. In fact, she probably likes the few minutes a day she doesn't have a little boy right up in her face! She is so patient and is definitely our little princess and the queen of our castle!
