So.....

Bailey decided to share some news with her Grandmother and Nana this weekend!! They were sooo excited! Her new little brother or sister (we're not finding out the sex of this one) will be here in early-mid December!

Wagon time!

Daddy took her up the driveway and down a little slope. She loves it!

About me!

My sweet friend Jill tagged me to play this little game.

The tag is “7 Things.” It is fun to hear tidbits, facts, unique things about your blogging friends. I have to tag 7 people, so if you don’t like to be tagged, just ignore me. You won’t hurt my feelings … just be a party-pooper. So here's it goes.

The Rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

I'm skipping the last 2 rules! ;)

1. My childhood dream was to be an Olympic gymnast. I was obsessed and always watched any gymnastics competition that came on. I even practiced my landings. Yea I was a weird little kid.

2. I have never broken a bone in my body. I tried really hard to break one when I was little because I wanted a cool cast, but I guess I just have strong bones.

3. My elbows are doublejointed. I still freak my mom out by twisting my arms for her. If I hold my arms straight up, they bend out at the elbows.

4. I can make my baby toes move separately from the rest of my toes. I even won a competition in high school at a girls' retreat. I did a little dance with my toes.

5. I am absolutely obsessed with Scarlett O'Hara. She makes me want to live back in those days, w/o the war of course. I love everything about that time period.

6. My dream home is a grand southern plantation home. There would be trees lining the drive up to the house and there would be tons of land, all fenced. Pretty much how I would imagine Tara to look.

7. I have never gotten a speeding ticket and have only been in a tiny wreck where I hydroplaned into a curb. Funny thing is that I normally drive a little over the speed limit (depending where it is). Not usually on purpose though. I have a lead foot and often travel to la-la land when I drive so that I can ignore Bailey's screaming.

Lazy day

We've just been hanging around today. I'm exhausted for some reason and have been for the past few days, so we haven't been out to play in the wagon. Sorry Pappaw! Daddy will be home shortly so he may be recruited for that while I take pictures or maybe I'll nap. I have not grasped the concept of sleeping when the baby sleeps. I always think she'll wake up any minute so I have to rush and get everything done. Then I'm exhausted and fall asleep. So today she slept 4 hrs, I slept about 30 min. Go figure...

Well the past week Bailey has been following me from room to room with all of her stuff. I'm talking a load of toys that will usually take multiple trips. Most of the time she just leaves everything in the door way like this. But if I leave the room she runs to grab her toys and follows me. I feel bad if I'm stopping in a room just to grab something and I'll usually help her out. It's really funny.

You can also see the purple carebear and Elmo. They both dance and sing, so they're big. They have become her new best friends, along with Pooh of course. This morning we let her down to play for a minute while we start getting up. We look over and Elmo and Carebear are standing in the doorway! I wish I had had my camera for that one. She'll even want to cuddle, but she won't let me cuddle her unless she has both of them, which is very difficult...especially if you hit one of their hands on accident. Then she gets excited and starts dancing.

Here is my little mommy (with her paci of course) pushing her friend Ella in her stroller. She usually switches out Pooh and Ella and gives them spins around the house.

Like I said, lazy day so no bow!

Another catch-up

Well it's been a while so settle in for a nice long read! :)

We had a great time in Mississippi. It was so nice to see everyone again, because we never know how long it will be between trips. Bailey did ok. She did pretty well in the car on the 8 hr drive, but was a little clingy to mommy and daddy. Pappaw was stuck in the hospital so we spent a lot of time visiting with him there. Bailey found pletty of ways to amuse herself. She got a puppy dog from Pappaw and made a game of taking it and her bag into the hallway. She wanted to see everything that was going on in the hall and say hi to everyone.

She also liked to gather all of Pappaw's socks and carry them around. It was a new pack of about 8 pairs, so she was carrying around 16 individual socks. She got so upset if we tried to take them away, or if she dropped them and couldn't pick them back up.

She loves her Pappaw and had so much fun with him!

Bailey also got to meet her little cousin Zeke for the first time. When we went down for Christmas Zeke was sick so we didn't get to see him. We're so glad he's better and we got to see him. I can't wait until they're older and running around together. It'll be so cute. Grant has always said he wanted to put our children in piano lessons. I think that'll be a great idea for Bailey. She begged to play the piano and enjoyed playing with her cousin Ashley and Zeke.

We had a busy Easter week/weekend. Bailey had an egg hunt at MDO. She did great! She loves to hunt Easter eggs. We are still hunting eggs this week. She carries around her basket and picks everything up. I was able to leave my class for a few minutes and get pictures of her hunting eggs.

Easter Sunday

Bailey and David

We also had an egg hunt over at Nana's, but I forgot my memory card, so we'll have to wait and see what Nana got on her camera. For Easter we went to church then had lunch with Grandmother. We all got nice long naps which were long overdue. Bailey then spent the night at Nana's because I had a test at school on Monday. We're taking it extra easy this week because MDO is on spring break w/ rutherford county schools. We've just been hunting eggs and going for walks with Bailey's new wagon. Thanks Pappaw! I'll have to get some pictures of her and that wagon on here soon.

Time to catch up

Sickness has hit the Todd house again! Surprise Surprise! I've got a cold and Bailey's starting to get it. Hopefully we'll catch it quickly. So, sorry I haven't updated in a bit.

We had a snow day this past Saturday. I kept laughing b/c everybody was rushing out for bread and milk and I just knew it wouldn't snow. Well it did, but it dried up by mid afternoon. We got out and played in it, but Bailey was not happy. She just stood there and fussed!

Our friends Crystal, Jr, and Bella left on Tuesday for California. We spent Monday helping them get ready and hanging out. Bailey was being so silly at lunch! She fed herself, with her hands, then fell asleep in the highchair while she was still eating. We laughed soooo hard.

Bella got a kick out of it too!

We are heading out on Friday for Mississippi. Can't wait to see Pappaw, Mammaw, and Pap!!!

Busy little bee

Bailey is ALWAYS busy. I don't think she knows how to sit still. The other night she was taking her babies one by one to the dining room, then back to the play room. Why, I have no clue. She is going to be such a good mommy. She hugs and pats on her babies. She tries to give them water and pacis. She takes burp cloths and uses them as blankies for her babies. She will sit with her babies and cover them up and love on them for a long time.

She just did the cutest thing. I had my camera all ready, but the batteries died. So no pictures for this one. Sorry! She went to her diaper bag for school and pulled out an outfit and a few diapers. She brought Pooh to the playroom and put him on the bookcase with all of her supplies like she was going to change him. Then she took the pants and tried to dress Pooh. It was so precious! Now she's walking around kissing everything. She loves to take the picture of her cousin David and give him tons of kisses.

We went back to the Dr. the other day and got some more steroids and a new antibiotic. So far, so good! The welts are all gone, but the yucky runny nose is back and I think her ears are hurting her again. So we started the new antibiotic and are just waiting for it to take away the yuckiness.
