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.

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...
