Back to School

I have been back to school full time for 2 weeks now. It's nice to get out of the house but it is so hard to leave my baby every morning! I used to wake her up and feed/cuddle her before i left but since she is officially SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT (hehe) I don't get those sweet moments in the wee hours of the morning anymore! And when I say wee I mean 545am. I leave the house at that crazy time each morning! I can't stay late so I get there as early as possible to get everything ready for the day/week. I am home by 330ish so that is nice! Kyleigh started 1st grade last week and since she goes to a school in my district I know what her curriculum is and it was fun talking about how we are doing the same things each day. She is so so so smart! Jared makes geniuses cause we all know Bailey is super smart too! (haha) She almost said baby today- we have been working on this one because she has a baby doll she loves to hug and kiss. If she is anything like her mom she will be a big fan of all things baby doll! She is also raising her arms up high when we say "How big is Bailey?" "So big!" (GiGi was working on this with her) You can really see that she is starting to understand things- it is so weird how this happens. She knows when we are asking for stuff (usually remotes and such) and she knows to walk the other way and grin cause she wants to keep it! Her walking is getting better and better each day. She walks every where unless she wants to go at high speeds- then she drops down to crawl. Bailey has recently realized it's ok to be without me sometimes. She stayed with my Mom and Marcus for a few hours and didn't even notice I was gone. Then again with Gail this past Friday and by all accounts was happy and peaceful all day! I even tried the nursery at church again and she did great! I love that I can get some time away and she is still happy! Gotta get to bed to make that 5am alarm clock! oh and the lack of pictures is due to the fact that she will not stay still for the camera or her face is right up in it because she is trying to get the camera! Silly girl!

Oh the Joys!!!

So I got home from working half day today with some lunch for Jared and I. I could hear Bailey squealing and having a good time in her crib (which she often does). So anyhow I decided to eat and let her be for a little longer. After about 20 minutes I went in to get her! As soon as I opened the door the smell hit me! She was standing up smiling and giddy with joy that I was home- I could see she was nakey! Her diaper was just chilling in the crib. I walked in the room and then saw the paint job she gave her crib, sheets, legs, and yes face!!! The poo was everywhere! Her hands were caked! It was one of those moments when you just don't know what to do or where to begin. I yelled for Jared and he helped me clean up the poo from the bed while I bathed her! I think I washed her hands 6 times before the smell left! I washed the bedding and loveys twice in hot water. It was just awful! I know it will make a funny story later but this preggo sure did have hard time stomaching Bailey's massive mess today! She is too young to start this! On a positive note I think Jared will start getting her dressed now! He thinks she loves being in a diaper (really it's just super hard to dress this crazy girl)!

A Couple Firsts

Bailey is officially walking! She still loves to crawl especially if she wants to get somewhere quick but she walks a lot too! I can't wait for her knees and feet to not get so dirty! (no matter how often we mop the dirt is still there) She started all the walking last week! So my 9 month prediction was right! She will be 10 months this Saturday... only 2 months away from her 1st B-day *tear*

Bailey is also waving hello and bye now! It is so cute! Even when we get out of the car to just go into WalGreens she raises her hand to say hello. Not sure who she is saying hi to or if she just thinks anytime we go somewhere new she is supposed to raise her arm and move her fingers. When we walk out to the garage to throw away dirty diapers she waves to the garage too!  She is almost clapping as well. She does a whole lot of mimicking. Last night Grandma Sara and Pops were telling her "bye bye" and she said "bye bye" in a sweet little voice. She was just copying the sounds they were making so I am not sure if that counts as a first word or not...

She loves Itsy bitsy Spider and This little Piggy Went to Market. If she is mad I try those 2 things and she usually cheers right on up. And oh can she get mad. She def has a temper and she did NOT get that from me! (ahem- Jared) When she is doing something "naughty" and I tell her "No m'am" or "Stop" in a stern voice she just smiles like I am telling her a joke and goes right back to what she was doing. She doesn't get my mad face yet!

Baby number 2 is growing great! My belly is already getting big! I look like I am 5 months already! And no we are not having twins! ;)
