Peepaw's Girl

Bailey loves to eat smooshed bananas, and I like to think she gets this from my dad! I can't wait for them one day to share a banana.


She was a happy girl the day I gave her a few red beans. This is another one of Peepaw's favorites. I think she knows she really is a Louisiana girl and not a Texan!

Don't Just Stand There

Bailey's new favorite thing to do is STAND! She pulls up either on me or the ottoman or the couch and will just stand there grinning and yelling to show how proud she is of herself. She definitely is one determined little girl and does not give up very easily.

I love watching her every move and am so thankful to be a SAHM for the summertime. It is going to so difficult to go back to work in August.

We've been going for walks everyday and I think Bailey looks forward to it. She gets excited as soon as I put her in her stroller. She's learning quite a bit about home construction as we have about five new houses being built on our route. I give her a sippy cup of water for the ride because we've had 100 degree temps, and she's getting pretty good at using it.

One of my favorite things that she did today was sit with her head on her arm leaned over her highchair to watch Doodie eat his dog food. I hope she wasn't getting any ideas! It was just so cute because she would take a bite of her own food then lean her head down back in the same spot every time to watch him, then back to eating her food again. I tried to capture it with my cell phone camera, but of course then she became more interested in that.

It truly is the little things...

Happy 4th of July

This is Bailey's new "cheese" grin! We're not sure where she learned this, but she has been doing it so much lately! The sound effects are even funnier, and she'll do it at some of the most random times.

I LOVE this picture! I think it was such a perfect shot of her in her new shades! We had gone to the pool yesterday and everyone had shades but her, so Daddy bought her some while at Target today. He must have tried at least 20 pair on her! These are great because they are flexible and have a soft velcro head strap. Too bad we got home too late to try them out in the pool. There's always tomorrow. :)

Bubble fun in the front yard. She loved the grass much more than the bubbles! That's how it always goes right!? Why spend money when there's so much to explore for free...

7 months old


Bailey Catherine is already 7 months old and is all over the place! It's hard to believe this once tiny little thing (well, not exactly tiny) used to sleep practically all day (when she wasn't eating!) and stay in one spot until we moved her. This is one of my favorite pictures of her because she looks so grown up and like a little girl.

Baby Willie

Bo got this headband from his boss and brought it home for Bailey...is this what the future holds for our sweet little one?

Midnight Oil

I knew this was going to happen...I stayed up way too late last night playing with the design of my blog, and I am still not satisfied...a little later after I get back from lunch with A.T....it's on!

Just What I Needed!

Just what I needed! One more Web 2.0 tool to add to my repertoire to keep in contact with family and friends!
I am taking an online class through my school district called "23 things", which involves learning about the latest Web 2.0 tools to incorporate them into our classrooms. One of the "things" was to create a blog to document our learning. Of course I had already created a blog right after Bailey was born, but NEVER added anything more than one photo to it. I just didn't quite have the time or energy to involve myself in ONE MORE internet time zapper. Well, here we are almost 8 months later, and I have a little more time (now that it's summertime) and quite a bit more energy (not AS MANY multiple wakings per night), so I am attempting my hand at this one more time! We'll see if I keep it up! I figured my parents would really get a kick out of it....shout out to Meemaw and Peepaw!

Now off to the creative side of all of this blogging! (Man my friend Michelle has the ultimate name for her blog and it would soooo totally fit for Bo and me, but I wouldn't dream of stealing it!) I'm just thankful to still be in contact (thank goodness for special occasions ;) with her. Now it's easier than ever! (You were a beautiful bride, Michelle! I remember thinking how I loved your hair!)
