Busy Saturday

Bailey had a fun day on Saturday. She attended her first birthday party ever. Our neighbors down the road have twin boys, Cameron and Connor, and they just celebrated their first birthday.

Bailey playing in a pool of balls with her new friend Collin.

The birthday boys getting their birthday bottle!

"This tastes ok, but where's the cake?"
Bailey decided that she was just going to eat the balls.
Mmmmm.

Bailey playing with Connor in the tunnel.

Then she decided to go ahead and crawl on through.

Almost there...

...here I am!

Bailey also got to take her first ride in her big girl car seat.

"Facing forward is so much better....and it's much easier for Mommy to get me in and out of here too."

"Thank you Mor Mor and Bumpa for a great early birthday present!"

"I'm not walking quite yet, but I got this new crab walk down."

"Wearing pants is so overrated."

Happy Birthday Cousin Gracie!

Happy 6th Birthday Gracie!

As you can see, Bailey is VERY upset that she can't be with you to celebrate today. However, we are looking forward to seeing you in just a few weeks! We hope you have a great day. We love you!

PS. Bailey now has three teeth and she knows how to wave!

Happy Birthday Auntie Anna!

Happy Birthday Auntie Anna!

Can't wait to see you in June!!!

Little Boo's 11 Months Old!

Bailey turned 11 months old today!
My, oh my... how time has flown by.
Here are some shots of the little stinker.

Check out Bailey's bottom two Chiclets!

Those fancy Graduates cheezy puffs... I love 'em.
Honestly, I can't get enough.
Like a largemouth bass, if you put 'em

in front of me, they're going down!

She hasn't quite figured out that it's much
easier to watch television when you
actually face the television.
We'll work on that.

Learning Her Name

Bailey has been playing around with letters of the alphabet lately. Not sure if she really knows how to put them together, but she sure is trying:)

One of her favorite things to do is play with the letters on her Bailey stool.

(Thank you Rob, Alyssa, and Jack Royster)

"See, it says Bailey. That's me!"

"Of course, I have to try it out for flavor."

"This basket is kinda fun to play with too!"

"What?"

"I did my daily chore of loading the dishwasher..."

"...but that was such hard work I had to cool off in front of the fridge."

"Below are just some more cute pics of me:)"

Swing

We finally had a day without rain on Thursday, so Bailey and I headed to the park to take advantage of the nice weather. We tried out the swings and she LOVED them. She was on them for 45 minutes just laughing and looking at all the other children playing.

"Higher Mommy!"

"I'm gonna get you, Mommy."

"Um, Daddy, don't forget that I turn 1 in a month and a half and I would REALLY like a swing set for my birthday."

Our Little Helper

Bailey has become quite the little helper around the house.

She helps unload the dishwasher

She helps Mommy do the laundry.

"Mommy this load is all done."

"Here's a hanger for you Mommy."

"I folded this entire load all by myself."

She helps Mommy with work.

"Mommy, FedEx is here with more of your samples. Either that or Daddy has been on EBay again!"

"Mommy, according to this calendar those items need to ship in August or your product isn't going to be in the stores in time...and you'll be in trouble."

She helps Daddy with the grilling.

"Daddy, smells like it's done to me."

She plays fetch with Smashy.

"Here Smashy, here's your lamb."

She helps set Daddy's alarm clock.

"Just don't get mad at me if it goes off at 5:00pm instead of 5:00am, OK?"

"Whew, it's hard being such a big help, but someone has to do the dirty work."

"Oh, and I got another tooth the other day!"
