Happy Halloween!

Bailey turned 12 weeks this week and Wes did another photo shoot.

Our little Elmer Fudd ;)

I am finally on my month long break, unfortunately I had to begin it with being sick! I am starting to feel better but it sure is tough taking care of a baby while trying to take care of yourself. Wes has been awesome when it comes time to having to feed Bailey in the middle of the night.

Bailey makes me such a proud and happy mom every single day. I can't stop looking at all her pictures, she is the best thing ever! So last post I talked about her about to roll over. When she was doing tummy time on her play mat, she rolled from her belly to her back!! I wanted to grab my camera but I didn't want to move because I didn't want her to stop. Wes saw it happen too!! We were pretty excited, now she needs to roll from her back to her belly.

Since I have been pretty sick, we decided to move Bailey into her room earlier so she wasn't in a germ infested room. The first night, she slept 9.5 hours straight! The next two nights she only woke up once after about 4 hours to eat, then slept another 4 or 5 hours. I thought that it would be harder to have her in another room, but honestly, I like it a lot. I don't have to tip toe around our room when I am in there and we feel like we have our room back. This morning I was laying in my bedroom just listening to her talking in her room and let me tell you, it is now one of my favorite sounds.

Tonight Wes and I carved pumpkins and watched the Nevada game on t.v. Everyone is posting their pictures of themselves going out in their costumes and I got to thinking about it, I would so much rather be at home with Wes and Bailey than out and about in a Halloween costume. It is amazing how our life has changed and completely for the better. We adore our little girl to pieces and could sit and stare at her all night long. We have an amazing little family!

We took pictures of Bailey with the pumpkins Wes got from the store. I didn't find a costume for her that was cheap enough so I just got her two Halloween outfits. She is too young to take Trick-or-treating so she doesn't need a costume just yet.

Here are pictures from this week!

Talking Bailey

So this our new present I bought for the family. A video camera to capture all our favorite moments!! Enjoy little Miss Bailey. Many more videos to come!

Our growing girl

Bailey is 11 weeks this week (well now, almost 12) and Wes did a little photo shoot with her when I was at work. I must admit, he did a better job than me! This may be something I have him always do :). I think it is so cute that he picked out her outfit and everything.
This week was pretty tiring with parent teacher conferences and trying to finish up report cards on the new program the district has us using. I am so thankful when Friday finally arrives because I know I have 2 full days with my baby girl! I have 4 work days next week then I am off for a month!! Bailey's Godmother/ my best friend Jen is coming to visit for a weekend and I couldn't be more excited. It means so much to me that she is making the trip up here to see us (well mainly Bailey). She hasn't been here since 2005!!! She is WAY overdue. :)

When I dropped Bailey off yesterday at daycare, Deanna had commented on how Bailey is really starting to change and look different to her. I looked at her pictures from previous weeks and I completely agree! Our little girl is growing like a little weed.

So the past 3 nights she has slept for 8 straight hours!! She woke up this morning and ate, then went back to sleep for an hour. After that she ate again, played, and is now passed out again. Someone might be going through a little growth spurt? She is sleeping now and I keep watching her sleep, it is the most adorable thing ever.

I am on a mission this week to find her something to wear for Halloween. I am not about to spend a bunch of money on a costume for her to wear only once, so I may have to get creative...something that is just not in my blood.

I also bought myself an early Christmas present...I will show you very soon!! I am sooo very excited about it!

Bailey loves looking in her mirror!

She is even adorable when she is crying! I bet she hates it that we laugh and find it so cute when she cries.

Come on baby girl...roll over!!

She loves her new toy I bought her...but hates the outfit I put her in for Wes (Go Raiders!)


She was VERY pooped after daycare yesterday

Somebody has decided to wake up... goodbye for now!

Growing and learning everyday

My computer is back, so I am back in action! Bailey is now 10 weeks/ 2.5 months and is changing everyday. She has reached some new milestones/"tricks" while I have been away from blog world...

Being more into her toys and actually hitting at them. Not quite sure if it is always on purpose but it is something new!

She loves this elephant rattle on her play mat. I even put it on her her Pack N Play when she is in it. I was in the kitchen doing dishes and heard the rattle going and ran to see what was going on since I am not used to hearing toys make noise in our house. I see her just going to town on that toy, so of course I had to take some pictures.

Then she wore herself out...

Sucking her thumb!

I picked her up from daycare this past Monday and Deanna had said that Bailey had been putting her hands in her mouth, I told her this is something she started the previous week. She had started putting her hands more in her mouth and using her paci less. So we get home and I put her in her swing so that I can get a few things done and she started crying. I let her cry for about a minute until I heard her stop and saw her doing this! She totally self soothed! I was so very excited that she learned something new. I am still on the fence about whether I want her to use the paci or her thumb, but when I can't get to her and she can solve her own problem...I am a proud mama! Plus it makes a pretty darn cute picture, in my opinion.

She has her first favorite toy/bear!

At my brother's wedding in September, Bailey got a bear/blanky toy from the bride's mom, Nancy. I have given it to her here and there and she just wasn't interested (with any toy really). The other day Wes noticed she was grabbing at it when she was in her pack n play, so I decided to give it to her in her swing too. She loves to hold it, hug it, suck on it, and chew on it. I am amazed at how excited I get over the little things she seems to be learning! Such proud parents we are!

By the way...the last two pictures of her holding in her pack n play, she grabbed it herself! She amazes me every second of every day.

Wanting to roll over!

So, I don't have any pictures of this since whenever we grab the camera, she stops! I may have a video, if I do I will post it later. She has started to get onto her side and has almost rolled over. We really think it will happen in the next couple of weeks. All she has to do is kick her leg over and she will do it. We really hope she does it when we are both home, since that is not very often...we aren't expecting it to. Oh well, we will still be just as happy and proud.

Becoming more and more social!

Uncle Spidey and Cousin Cade came over yesterday and hung out with Bailey. She is smiling at people more, "talking", and just being more playful. It is so crazy how you can just stare at someone for so long with the biggest smile on your face. Here are some pictures from the visit.She was showing Uncle Spidey what she wants to do to him when he makes fun of her feet! Watch out Uncle Spidey...she knows where you sleep!Clearly loves sucking on her hands...and even got Cousin Caden's hand too! Yum!


So that is what we have been up to the past 2 or so weeks since I last posted. Wes and I were talking last night how we are amazed at how much love one can have for someone. The love is different and so powerful. Bailey is our world and I honestly feel so complete having her in it, I know Wes feels the same way.

Happy 2 months Bailey!

Today is Bailey's 2 month Birthday! I wish I had some 2 month old pictures to put up, but since my computer that I usually put my pictures on to is at the doctor, those will have to wait. I will include some pictures from my cell phone that I have taken the past few days though.

But first, I need to update you all on our big week last week!! I went back to work on Wednesday which became easier as the day went on. I said goodbye to Bailey and cried halfway to work and then got it together. I knew she was in good hands with Wes but was so sad that our time together all day everyday was over. I then told myself that I have the month of October to work then I am off all of November, that made me feel better...it will be a long month. Thursday was easier but still got a little choked up when I had to say goodbye. It has been really nice for Wes to spend time with Bailey without me there. I have seen them connect more and become even better buddies, in just the two days they spent alone. Wes also realized that it is not always easy being with her all day. I think he now realizes the frustration when every time you go to do something, she cries and needs something. He knew it before, but now he is truly experiencing it. I am glad he fully understands now :).

Friday was her first day of daycare. When getting her ready and to daycare, I was in too much of a hurry to get sad... well until I realized I actually had to leave her there and walk to my car empty handed. The daycare lady, Deanna, is very nice and is so great with Bailey. She has the kitchen all decked out with a swing, bouncer, and pack n play for Bailey. I knew she was in good hands but when I had to kiss her goodbye and leave her there, I got so sad. I held it in until I got to my car, then lost it. I texted Wes a picture of Bailey and he said he was sad and missed her, that made me lose it even more. Wes doesn't get sad very often so when he does, it makes me more sad. I got through the day and finally got to pick her up! Deanna said that she was very easy and all the other kids were consumed by her all day. They would just watch her. She also was impressed with how strong her head was and how alert she is. She mentioned that in the 10 or so years she has been doing daycare, she is one of the easiest babies she has taken care of! That makes me feel so much better about leaving her now because I know she will be a good girl.

So Wednesday Bailey went to the doctor for her 2 month check up and shots. She weight 9 pounds 7 ounces, which was lighter than I thought she would be. She is in the 25th percentile for both weight and height. The doctor was also impressed with her head control and strength. I am so proud of Bailey, everyone keeps saying how awesome she is doing. Doctor didn't see anything wrong, so that is great news! The shots did make her super out of it and sleepy, along with a lovely fever. I took her temp and it was 100, I was so sad for her. We got it to go down and then she was back to her normal self. Wes said that he had to turn away when she was getting her shots, he sure has become a softy with her around!

Today I took Bailey out to see some family and friends and I am in awe of how great she does around different people. She was smiling and "talking" so much today. I am so thankful I have a happy and easy baby! *knock on wood*

Here are some pictures for you! I hope to get my laptop soon because I have a cute video to upload.
