Our little Baseball Star!


This week, Baker has been playing baseball with Daddy every evening.  As you recall, it all started on Sunday when he remembered he had a baseball & bat and he HAD to play with it when we got home from grocery shopping.  It then turned into a slight addiction where he has to play everyday and even sleep with his ball & bat.  (I must get a picture of this).  He realize he is only 2 (almost 3) but he makes contact with the ball when Gordie throws it on numerous occasions.  It is really pretty awesome to see with him being so young.  I mean even some kids playing t-ball don't have this hand/eye coordination!  I do believe he'll definitely progress in any sport he wants to play and will want to practice...practice...practice! 

Playing every evening after work/school is getting a little difficult since daylight hours are getting harder to come by with DST ending soon.  I just love that he is getting into sports and I know Gordie is thrilled too!  Baker loves and lives off being praised and he really enjoys hitting the ball and us telling him how great of a job he did while he grins from ear to ear.  If he misses, he says "Oops my fault" or if Daddy throws the ball a little off and he misses and Gordie says "Sorry Baker, my fault" Baker will follow up with "That's okay Daddy!"  :)  He's such a sweet boy. 

If you look closely the edge of the blue bat is in the bottom right hand corner.  He had to have it next to him while he watched a movie.  

Here's two short clips of him smacking a ball inside the house.  Yes, we all know bats and balls are not for indoors but who can deny this sweet boy from playing when its dark outside?  I guess whenever a picture gets broken then we'll have to reassess the idea of playing ball inside.  *please excuse the messy room*
