A Bunch of Hot Air...

Balloons, that is! Bo texted me this morning on his way to his early morning tee time and said, "Dude, there are about 30 hot air balloons up here!" I remembered the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival, and thought that was probably why they were out. Bailey and I jumped in the car (fresh out of bed) and drove over to check them out. We stopped at Stoney Hollow Park and were able to see quite a few. Bailey also enjoyed her first time in a "big girl" swing on the playground. We have been wanting to let her do this for a while because she loves swings, but our park doesn't have the bucket swings. She LOVED it! I love seeing her enjoy all of her "firsts"! She has also begun walking to me a bit after holding on to the furniture. I'm predicting by 11 months she'll be off!! She just turned 10 months yesterday, so this morning was a fun birthday with huge balloons!

Labor Day Weekend in Louisiana

Bailey had a great time with her cousins, Cooper and Madison. We wish we saw them more often. They are all growing so fast!
Getting some love from G.G.
Sweet baby girl in the walker we got while down in Louisiana so she could cruise around outside. She loved it and was so good at it!
I think Bailey wished she could get out there and play soccer with the big kids!
My sweet niece Addison with Great Nannie Sue! She is such a sweet baby, and I am happy she and Bailey will grow up together. I always get homesick when we visit Louisiana.

New Jammies!

Bailey received 5 new pairs of pajamas from her Memaw McReynolds on her 9 month birthday, and she loves them! (Mommy loves them too!) I swear ever since she has been wearing them she has been sleeping 10+ hours a night! This has been a long time coming for us, and Mommy is now a whole new woman! I hated the dreaded, "Does she sleep through the night?" question! I will NEVER ask a new mom that! I'm sure it's not just the jammies, but we're not changing a thing! (I'm seeing unwashed soccer and t ball uniforms in my future too!)

Mommy's Birthday, Bailey's Nine Month Birthday, Surprise From Meemaw and Peepaw

August 19th was a special day for us. It was my birthday and Bailey's 9 month birthday. It's hard for me to believe how fast my baby girl is growing. These pictures are terrible, but I haven't yet sat her down to do her "chair pic" with her pink monkey and pillow that I do each month.

This is a video I took of Bailey opening a gift from her Meemaw and Peepaw Caves. She cracks me up how she loves to eat the paper more than seeing what the gift is! I now know what to do for Christmas! (forgive how silly I sound in the video!)

My Two Front Teeth

These are two of my favoite shots of Bailey showing off her two front teeth. She still only has her two bottom teeth, but I think she's working on a few more...she has tons of saliva drooling out of her mouth (makes for great smooches) and gets a little cranky every now and then.

She has graduated out of her safety bathtub seat, and just loves taking a bath! She loves looking at me through the silver drain thing (not sure what it's called) at the front of the tub. She looks in to see if I'm watching and then starts waving at me while looking at my reflection. It cracks me up every time!

Visit with Daddy's Parents

Bo's parents came for a visit and we had a good time hanging out, eating at Isla Morada, shopping at Bass Pro Shop and Wal-Mart! It was a fast visit, but fun. Bailey hadn't seen her grandpa since March, so it was fun to see them together.

Far Behind

I am so far behind on updating this blog! I am good about adding pictures to my facebook account, but have neglected my blog for quite a while. Bear with me as I add quite a few pics and posts today.
