Bailey Babble

Well, we finally were able to catch Bailey talking. As you'll see, I was laughing so hard I was crying. I just love the little movements she makes with her mouth and eyes. Absolutely adorable!

She's been quite the master of avoiding the camera, which is why this took so long to post. I'll have some more pictures soon.

Pumpkin Carving Pictures

Well here are the pictures from our pumpkin carving. As you can tell, Sam really enjoyed playing with the pumpkin seeds. He would pull them out of one pumpkin, throw them down on the table, and then do it again. Once that was over, he kept putting the seeds back into everyone's pumpkins. Bailey slept through most of it of course.

Bailey's Pictures

Tonight Bailey got her pictures taken. She was really happy at 5 and our appointment wasn't till 6:30. We tried to see if we could come earlier, but they were too busy. We figured that we'd probably lose her good mood. As you can see though, we really lucked out!

Update on Rough Night

I should clarify that Sam had the ice for himself, not to place on Bailey. Sam loves ice. He's always grabbing pieces out of coolers if we are at a party or something. At Andy's company picnic they had huge pieces the size of softballs. It was 60 degrees out and he wasn't happy unless he had a piece to walk around and suck on. The kid LOVES ice...

No More Binkie Baby

Over the past couple days, Bailey has taken on a transformation from this little girl who sometime loved her binkie...

To one that will spit it out and fuss until she finds her thumb! She must have figured this out with her new trick of sleeping all day. Wednesday she woke up at 8, fell asleep at 9 and had to be woken up around 2. I think she's either getting over her cold, or was really working on growing.

Tonight we are getting Bailey's pictures taken, so there will be some more to post this weekend!

Rough Night

Well, last night we finally had to “lock” Sam in his bedroom. We had to put the baby gate up in his doorway so that he couldn’t get out at night. He often times will wake up in the night and crawl into bed with us. Once he’s asleep, we normally put him back, where he stays till morning. Slightly annoying, but not a big deal.

Night before last he woke up and came in bed with me. Then a few minutes later, he got back up. I was listening to hear if he was going back to bed and must have fallen asleep. The next thing I know, he comes to me saying “Bailey, Bailey, Bailey”. His hands were cold and wet so I asked him what he was doing and followed him into the bathroom. I assumed he was playing in the toilet, and washed his hands, had him go to the bathroom, and put him back to bed.

I then went in to check on Bailey, who was turned 90 degrees in her bed with her little foot poking out between the rails of her crib. I believe this was the work of her loving brother. As I turned to go back to bed, I noticed that there was an ice cube tray on the stool next to the changing table. That bugger had gone downstairs, into the freezer, and brought it up; thus explaining the need to contain him. Lord knows what trouble or bodily harm he could have incurred.

So last night when we went to bed, the baby gate was locked into place. Sam did wake up once and called to us. We each took a turn putting him back to bed, but it wasn’t too bad. Maybe this will teach him to just stay in his bed?
