PRESENTS!!!!

We opened a few presents with my mom this morning since she's headed back to KY for a while. Bailey loved ripping the paper! She belly laughed every time the paper ripped. Then Pujols, our dog, thought she was going too slow, so she started to help her rip the paper off the presents, which she thought was even funnier. I captured it on video so you could all enjoy. Also my hubby surprised me with a Wii Fit!!! I was so shocked, I cried! I tried it this morning and it's AWESOME!!! I'm so motivated to lose that baby weight. He even made little homemade cards that Bailey "made". I am one blessed momma.

We're sitting!

Bailey has started sitting on her own. We have such a big girl on our hands. She's been sitting with some help for a while, but just recently has been able to sit by herself for a long period of time. Such a happy girl!

Rice, rice baby!

We decided to take the plunge and give Bailey a bit of rice cereal before bedtime to see if it would help her sleep better at night. She was sleeping 8 hours but lately has been waking up every 2-3 hours to eat! That sleep schedule starts to wear on a tired mommy and daddy after a while. Well, the cereal didn't help her sleep, so I'm not sure if we will keep it up, but she did great eating from a spoon, and it made for some really cute pictures. She loved her rice cereal!

She kept trying to grab the spoon so we gave it to her to see what she would do.

We think she likes it. Look at that smile.

Deck the halls

Our first Christmas with Bailey! We put up the tree and decorations last weekend and Bailey helped...well she sat quietly in her bouncy seat while Mommy and Daddy decorated our ginormous tree. Here are a few pictures of Bailey by the tree and with an empty Christmas box. She just wanted to eat it! haha

This box looks good enough to eat...

Mmm...tasty!

Long time coming...

This post is defintely a long time coming. It has been two MONTHS since I posted last. Bailey has done a lot of growing and developing as I'm sure you can imagine. She can now lift her entire torso off the ground while on her belly and she can roll over onto her back. She grabs at everything now and puts everything in her mouth. We love to hear her laugh and she laughs the most at our dog Pujols! We don't know what it is that she finds so funny but it sure cracks us all up. We go tomorrow for her 4 month appt. so I'll let you know what her weight/height stats are then. Six weeks ago she was over 14 pounds and 25 in long. We have a big girl on our hands, but we think the rolls are too cute. Judge for yourselves. Here are some recent pictures of sweet Bailey.

Asleep on Grandma with her thumb in her mouth. Too sweet.

Helping mommy fold diapers.

She loves staring at her hand these days.

Revisiting the adorable flower hat. I think she likes it this time.

My FAVORITE pic of her. Isn't that hat too cute. This was on her first youth retreat!
