My little stinker

It is such a pleasure to be to this point. She gets so excited for her baths. She actually gets mad if I don't strip her down fast enough. Sometimes she doesn't even want toys, just to sit in the water. It's all good until you try to wash her hair.

This is where we started.


This was her first bath, but most of the baths she's had in her lifetime were spent like this. It was just harder to grab the camera when she's screaming bloody murder and trying to jump out of the tub. We later figured out that she was terrified of the bubbles from her soap. She would go through periods where she liked her bath for about a week or so, then she hated it again. That's how it is with everything with her, bedtime, foods, toys, everything. They all come in phases.

Well I'm excited to post the picture of our Mother's day gifts for Nana and Grandmother, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow! ;)

A whole lot of BLAH!

No pictures on this one! Sorry! Just wanted to give a quick update. Bailey started getting sick last Wednesday night, so we went to the Dr. on Thursday. She had a double ear infection and was put on antibiotics. Then I have not been feeling good for the past week. I'm EXHAUSTED, very cranky, and nauseous all the time. My body has been holding onto every ounce of fluid I put in, so I am also very bloated and very uncomfortable. All the joys of pregnancy!

Yesterday afternoon, Bailey started running another fever. It stayed around 102. So, this morning around 5 I ran to Kroger and got some motrin, which brought her fever down to 99. I thought maybe it was her teeth and she was fine. But at school her teacher brought her to me and I checked her temp. It was 104.8! I about freaked out. I did what I could to cool her down and we're relaxing this afternoon. Tomorrow morning we are going to the Dr. to see what is going on with her. So nothing too exciting going on..I haven't been taking pictures. Promise I will get some on here soon!

Spring Days

We had a pretty day yesterday, nice and warm but with a nice breeze. Bailey and I went in search of some flowers. I found the ones that blow away ( I dont have the slightest clue what they're called) and taught Bailey how to blow their "petals" away. She ended up getting the majority of them in her mouth, because she put it up too close. But she finally got the hang of it. She even said "yellow!" I'm trying to teach her colors, numbers, abcs, etc. I may be a little behind on teaching her, but we're working on it!


















After playing outside we came in to color a kangaroo and her baby, and to have a snack of chocolate fudge cookies. She had to have a bath right after of course. My best friend Autumn was hanging out with us yesterday and Bailey was such a little ham!

This past Thursday at MDO we had an "unbirthday" party to celebrate everyone's birthday. We had pizza and cupcakes (not a good idea for 2 year olds, but they had fun!) Ms. Tiffany (my co-teacher and good friend) brought in her bouncer for the kids to jump in. Bailey LOVED it. I got a few pictures of her and a couple of videos, but I have to go through the videos before I can post them.

Bailey's bouncing with her class. I accidentally cut off half of Tinslee's face~sorry Tiff!







This is similar to the bouncie that they jumped in. I have decided that it would be a good investment for us to have for Bailey. Of course, she won't be getting one until next Christmas or something like that, but she'll love it for a long time to come.

Pictures like this remind me just how blessed I am. I have a sweet little girl who knows how to work my nerves like no one else. Just this morning, she woke me up at 5:00, after I hadn't been able to get to sleep until 3:00. Later we woke up to find that she had pooped all in our bed. She has been having bad, bad diapers for the past few days~we think from getting her molars. She gets cleaned up and eats breakfast, only to do it again, everywhere. She had to get her 1st bath, which I'm sure she'll need another one later. I'm up to my ears today in laundry because I have to wash comforters, sheets, clothes, etc. All because of this precious little girl. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the least bit upset, angry, anything with her. I know she can't help it, I just wish for both of our sakes that she gets back to normal. I love this little girl more than anything in this world, messes and all. She is my pride and joy.

How time flies

This is Bailey at 12 months~actually a couple days after her birthday, dancing with her new carebear.

Here we are today, at 18 almost 19 months, turning carebear and elmo on at the same time so we can dance.

My sweet loves

doing what they do best

Best Friends

Bailey has an adorable friend named Bella~who I'm sure I've mentioned before. The girls are SO funny together. They love to give each other hugs and kisses all the time, when they're not fighing over toys. I'm sure they'll grow out of that stage fast though. They've just started saying each others' names and it is absolutely precious! They both also sign "friend" when they see each other. I'm so glad that Bailey has such a sweet friend at this early age.

My friend Crystal~Bella's mom~is one of the teachers in Bailey's MDO class. They put the girls together in a crib, because they love to be with each other.





Bailey was trying to give Bella hugs and kisses, but Bella wasn't really in the mood for it! :)
Bailey's sitting in my lap as I type this blog pointing and yelling "Bella!" LOL
