6 months already!

It's hard to believe that Bailey is already 6 months old. It's gone by so fast!


She is now rolling over and can sit up by herself!




She got a Disney Princess chair for Christmas and she loves it...almost as much as she loves the remote control. Every time we'd give her the remote though she would always hit random buttons and change the channel so we finally took the batteries out of an extra remote so she now has her own.




Bailey got a basketball goal for Christmas and she really likes playing with it. I think it's a sign of things to come.



She also likes to try and help me do laundry...




Every day with Bailey gets more and more fun and I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next 6 months!

Bailey's First Christmas!

We started Christmas 2009 in Wichita with the Burns and Cunningham families. We then went to Garden City and spent the week with my family. We finished off our holiday weekend in Scott City at Aaron's sister Darlicia's house. We are very blessed that we were able to spend time with all of our families during this holiday season.

Bailey got some pretty cool gifts for Christmas but I have to say, I'm pretty sure her favorite part was tearing off the wrapping paper and trying to eat it. I think next year she'll be much more into her gifts and Christmas in general, but it was still so much fun to see her unwrapping her presents and enjoying the lights on the Christmas tree!

Here are some pictures from Bailey's First Christmas:

Thanksgiving 2009

We spent Thanksgiving 2009 in Wichita with the Burns family. It was great because so many family members were able to be there and share Bailey's first Thanksgiving with us. Below are some pictures from Thanksgiving weekend.

4 Month Portraits

We got Bailey's 4 month pictures taken today. She did GREAT for the photographer (as you can probably tell from the awesome pictures).

We will be including some of these pictures in the Christmas cards we send out. We are also able to order more online so if anyone is interested in doing so let us know and we can get you the login information.

First experimentation with rice cereal

On Nov. 6 we gave Bailey some rice cereal for the first time and boy was that an experience! Of course she made a big mess with it, but really she ate it well.

We made the mistake of putting a bib on her, thinking that would help keep her shirt clean. Really the bib just got in the way and made a bigger mess. We look forward to when she's more practiced and less messy eating her cereal.

Bailey's First Halloween

Bailey's first Halloween was fairly uneventful but it was still fun for us to dress her up and see her in her cute costume. This year Bailey was a pink poodle for Halloween.



On Friday the 30th I dressed Bailey in her costume and took her Trick or Treating at my work with the other kids (ok we just walked around, no candy involved). She did really well and of course everyone thought she looked adorable.


On Saturday the 31st we put her costume on her again and Bailey stayed content long enough for us to take a couple pictures, then she decided she was too hot and picture time was over. Even though she didn't wear the costume much it was so worth the purchase.

12 Weeks

I can't believe that Bailey is already 12 weeks old! She is getting so big and she is so much fun. It's amazing how much a baby can change every day. At her 2 month check-up she was 20.5 inches long and weighed 10 lbs 3 oz.

Bailey LOVES bath time. Even if she is cranky a bath always puts her in a good mood.

She really likes to spend time in her swing too.

She sleeps like an angel (and sometimes like a tiger...). She does great at night, usually sleeping from about 10:30pm to 6:30am without waking up.When she's awake she has a lot of happy time. She has the cutest smile!


Bailey is our little angel and we are enjoying every minute with her!
