2 months old!!!

Wow! Two months has flown by. Our little girl is growing up so fast. She is able to hold her head up so well now and can sit up when propped up in a chair. She's about 12 lbs now and is outgrowing all of her 0-3 month clothes. It seems like this happened overnight. She laughs and smiles so much more now and is so much fun to be around. Here are some pictures that I took of her on her 2 month birthday. Thank you Auntie Laura for the beautiful outfit. She loved it all except for the bonnet. The pictures are self explanatory. haha

Sitting up like a big girl.

Look at that goofy grin. ;)

Not a fan of the bonnet. Oh no another hat!!!

A day at the great grandparents'

I was so glad when my grandma called today and asked for company. She just had her second knee replacement surgery last week and is layed up on the couch bored to death. Bailey was in an excellent mood today so it was a perfect day to go visit. What a great day to get out of the house. It brightened my mood and hopefully brought a little sunshine to grandma too. Here are some pics from today's outing.

Cloth diapers!

Since before Bailey was born I've been researching cloth diapers. Well last week we finally took the plunge and bought 20 beautiful soft cloth diapers from cotton babies, a local baby store specializing in cloth diapers and organic/natural baby products. I know what most of you are thinking...Eeww...cloth...so messy and so much work. Actually cloth diapers have come a long way since the days where you had to use flats and fold them a million times, pin them with a safety pin and pray you don't stick your squirmy baby, and put on a plastic cover. Cloth diapers are so stinkin fun and adorable now. They come in all different colors and prints and are extremely easy to use. Not to mention it will save us about 2000 buckaroos by the time Bailey is potty trained. If we use them with future children, it will just keep racking up the savings. Anyway, I will give a tutorial on them at a later date but here is a picture of Bailey's super cute Bum Genius cloth diaper. More fluffy bottom pictures to come I promise.

Bailey's blog. A cry for help!

This is Bailey...shhhh...Mom and Dad don't know I'm on here. They think I'm sleeping but I had to get on here and see if I could get anyone to rescue me. I am desperate over here! Mommy is driving me crazy with that camera and the silly things she makes me do. Here I'll show you an example. She bought this hat for me that she thinks is soooo cute and I hate it! It's got a pink flower on it that's as big as my head! I'm only 8 weeks mom. Give me a break.

See what I mean? Look at the expression on my face. Does it look like I'm enjoying this?

Oh the torture! Get that camera out of my face and that thing off my head NOW!

Now she's trying to be all sweet to me and pose for the camera like nothing's wrong. Well I'm not falling for the act and neither is anyone else. The truth is out!

So can anyone help me? Like I said I'm desperate! No more hats, goofy pictures, and girly outfits. HEEELLLPPP!

Run Austin run!

Today we went to our nephew Austin's cross country meet. It was a first for Bailey and myself and I really enjoyed it. Austin did great as a freshman and finished second on his school's team. Ken tried to get more action pics of Austin but he ran by so fast and Ken was also trying to track his time. Oh well, it was nice to get out of the house and root Austin on. Bailey refused to be stuck in the carseat the whole time so we busted out the trusty Moby wrap again and she konked out before the race even started. :) Thank the Lord for the Moby. It once again saved our day.

Play time!

Bailey is starting to love her playmat! She can lay there for about a half hour now and stare at the animals, hit them over and over again, and admire her pretty face in the mirror. Before it was five minutes of laying still with a blank stare and then screaming to get up. I tried to get some pics of her laughing and smiling as she hit the animals but she was too quick. She's really growing up. I love seeing her develop and grow each day.

Wow! There's a lot to look at. I've never noticed that elephant and parrot before.

Mmmm....that elephant looks mighty tasty! How do I get him down?

Ok almost there! Just a little bit more...

Yes yes...I do believe I can get him!

Awww man. These arms just aren't long enough. Maybe next time.

Say cheese!
