Saturday Night

This weekend has been very funny, it's almost as if Bailey has taken a dive bomb right into her terrible twos and guess what, she won't be 1 for even 3 more days!!! Yikes. I only say this because yesterday was a day I will not soon forget. Unless there are more of them to come, lets hope not.
So Bailey started her day out about 9:00 am, not unusual but she was at the Ranch with Grandmwah and PawPaw. She did not take a nap at all, I'm talking like nothing, zilch, nada, zero, nine, NONE all day. We got in the car to go to dinner and she finally fell asleep right before we got there, this is already almost 6:00 PM. (I don't consider this a nap even though she woke up shortly after b/c this should have been her bed time that day) Anyway, she woke up, we ate dinner, we went to Walmart, we drove back (with Bailey crying and screaming the whole way) to the Ranch and it all went wacky from there.
Bailey was SO excited to be back. We put her on the floor with the new puppy Fiona and they rolled around licking eachother for a few minutes, both being a little weird. Then Bailey got up and was just running everywhere. She is still new to the WALKING thing so running was a site to see. She would throw her arms behind her making her look very arrow dynamic and just start going. This would cause her to fall several times and since at this points she is very tired and out of sorts, she would try to get up but it resultred in a lot of time with her head by the ground and her butt all up in the air. I was laughing so hard to see her spinning in all sorts of circles, almost break dancing and doing barrel rolls all at the same time.
This went on for a good 15 minutes or so, she was more hyper than I have ever seen her to this point. She was so excited about something though, calming down was not inher plans. Changing her diaper was like roping a calf, I was sweaty by the end of that adventure.
Anyway, all that to say, it was interesting. We are still experiencing new things all the time with that girl. I'm sure there will be many more stories to come.

Walk it out!

Bailey has decided that today is the day she wants to walk instead of crawl. She still has a ton of plops but she instead of crawling, she gets back up and takes more steps still it happens again. She is a goofy little tyke and we love her. Hope this is funny too you, sorry about the hysterical laugh in the background. I'm a mom and I think my kid is awesome.

snuggle time

Bailey wasn't feeling well this last week so as much as it was completely sad for me to see her not feel well and not being herself, it was a WONDERFUL time for me to get to snuggle with my baby. I have pictures of her sleeping on me when she was first here (in the world) but she has been a VERY active child and likes to look around and be nosey MUCH more than she likes to cuddle or chill out. This last weekend I got to love on my baby girl just holding her and singing to her, dad got some of this great time too. She seems to like it on him more but I don't let myself believe (even if it is true) that Bailey is a bone-a-fide Daddy's girl.
Bailey is turing one at the end of the month and with that time approaching so quickly, I'm having to pinch myself, I'm in denial that it really could have been a year ago since this all went down.
So Bailey is back to her normal self, feeling well and definitely NOT snuggling anymore. She is walking more and more everyday, exploring new things and making me laugh A LOT. Yes, I realize I have been using a lot of caps lock in this post but hey, I'm SO emphatic about these things.
