Sittin' Up & Snoozin'

Worn out! She loves her baby doll.
Look at me Mom! I'm sittin' up all by myself!!!

She LOVES this thing! Best gift ever thanks to Aunt Laura!

First time in her highchair and she fell fast asleep!

I couldn't reist not taking pictures. She was sitting with us as we at dinner.

Not amused mom...too tired!

Michael was on call Friday and I was bored, so I decided to put up her highchair. I know Bailey's a little small for it...but she seems to enjoy it! We don't feed her in yet, just contain her in it. :) She also started to sit up a little on her own this weekend. She's not 100% sturdy yet, but it'll be no time until she can stay balanced. She's also been sleeping through the night! It has been 6 nights in a row so far (knock on wood). Hopefully she's finally getting the hang of it!!!

Playtime with friends

Today was a busy day! First, Bailey and I went to stortyime at the Hoover Library this morning. She got to sing songs, read (and chew) on books, and listen to Mrs. Brandi tell a story. It's amazing how well she pays attention!

This afternoon I hosted "Oh Baby!" for our JCRMA group. We had 6 little ones over and we had so much fun! We had some snacks and "played" for a couple of hours. Bailey was cranky, so she napped the majority of the time. However, we got some cute pictures of the munchkins!

Bailey & Friends

Christmas 2008

Our happy little family!

Getting ready to go to church Christmas Eve.

Teddy and Cubby- my parents poodles

Bailey checking out Aunt Laura...she's thinking, "Hey, you look like my mama!"

Our little nephews- Cole,Gage, and Ben. They love Bailey!

Bailey chillin in her exersaucer watching her Crazy Cousin Max!

Aunt Burn and Granny cracking up as they watch Max open his gifts.

Mimi and Granddaddy got Max a motorized fire truck! Watch out!

My older sister Amy holding Bailey as Max hugs her. How sweet! :)

Bailey playing with a few of her new toys.

Next year we'll have another one to add to this picture...we can't wait for Caroline's arrival!

We had a great Christmas! We got to be at home for a whole week...which got to be a little long, but still fun. We had lots of family time and got see some friends. Bailey was asleep at both grandparents' houses as we opened presents on Christmas Day. She got lots of fun toys and cute clothes! We ended the week with a sick child though. Come to find out, she had a double ear infection....which explains all of the crying and crankiness. We're home again and back in our routine. She's feeling a lot better. We're already looking forward to next Christmas where she'll be walking and into everything!!!

Random December pictures

JCRMA Dirty Santa party

Ginger, Nicole, Kyle, me, Katie, Christy (everyone else took off before I could a pic.)

It got kinda ugly....but we're all still friends! ;)

Yes, Bailey is teething...she's drooling all the time now.

Max on Thanksgiving morning. He had the worst case of bed head which was too cute!

Bailey getting ready for her bath. She LOVES getting naked!!!

Eating the flower on her exersaucer is her favorite thing to do!

Drying off after her bath.

Mom, this is private!

Daddy feeding Bailey his banana split sucker...she only got a few licks! :)

First time eating baby food. She ate squash and it went better than expected!

Yum, this isn't so bad...especially with mommy making all these funny noises to entertain me!

Busted! She loves going after Tito's nasty toys!

Got it! But, only for a second until mommy took it away.

I love my baby girl!!! I promise she does smile...she just hates the camera I think.

December has greeted Bailey with lots of milestones! She is now eating babyfood and scooting around everywhere! If I take my eyes off of her for a second, she's gone! At her 6 month appointment she weighed 14.7 pounds. She got 5 shots and one oral vaccine, which was so not fun! Bailey and I were in Paducah the first week of December and we'll go back for the week of Christmas. She loves her Grandaddy and Mimi...especially her Grandaddy though. He wags her around everywhere!!! Michael's been on call every fourth night, so Bailey and I have had lots of alone time. We look forward to January where he has a little less hectic schedule.

6 Month Pictures

Today I took Bailey to Sears to get her pictures taken. Instead of ranting and raving I'll just say it was a rather unpleasant experience. They ran late, she was tired and hungry, and it took almost 3 hours! There was nothing I could do to get my baby to smile. :( Both mom and baby were worn out by the time this was all said and done!

Oh Baby!

Bailey, Margaret, Ellie and Anna. It was hard trying to get them all to be still and look at the same camera. All three of them, excluding Bailey, were born within a couple of weeks of each other...Anna and Ellie just four days!
Josiah and Bailey. He was a "lady's man" that day b/c he was the only boy there...and he's also a little over a year old.

Once again all the girls. I had to put Bailey on the end b/c she kept trying to roll over on everyone.

To the left-Cary and Margaret on the mat, Ashley's in the chair feeding Ellie, Josiah's just walkin around chillin', and Bailey's rolling around on the floor.

When we arrived Bailey decided she wanted to feed herself...however, it didn't really happen b/c it kept falling out of her hands.

This pic is for my mom...she bought Bailey this poodle outfit and she wanted a picture of her in it...so here's the back side and below is the front side!

Bailey and I went to our first Oh Baby! get together this past Monday morning at Laura Leigh's house. This is one of the events JCRMA does each month. She had fun playing with her four other friends: Anna, Ellie, Margaret, and Josiah. We had a great time and it was nice to hang out with other mom's that are going through the same thing! There was lots of crying, eating, pooping, and peeing needles to say!!! However, she loves her new friends!
