Warm Blankey

Susie has been doing a lot of laundry since Bailey was born. It seems like she does a couple of loads per day! Bailey goes through a lot of clothes and blankets due to her spitting up. It is fun to see her reaction to the warm blankets that come fresh out of the dryer. She wraps herself up and brings the blanket to her face...cuddling right in. She especially likes her Deedee when it is all warmed up. She goes right for the satin edges.

Little Drummer Girl

I signed Bailey up for a Music Together class and it started this month. Right now she pretty much just sits and watches everyone else. She is in a mixed ages class, where at 6 months she is the youngest, going up to 3 years. It is good for her to have the interaction with the other children. She loves it when the teacher says her name in the songs and she gets excited and puts both fists toward/in her mouth. So the other day we were listening to the CD from class and I had my drum pad out. I gave her the drumsticks and got a few pictures taken before she tapped herself in the head.

Nana's Visit

Happy New Year! We started out January with a visit from Nana from Boise. She arrived on Thursday the 1st and stayed through Tuesday. I worked on Friday, so Nana became the Nanny for a day. She did a great job at reading Bailey's cues and knowing when she was hungry and tired.

Saturday we went to Harmony Pharmacy in Greenwich, the bank, got the car washed and went to the post office. We picked up Bailey's first highchair in the evening. Sunday we went to the mall stores: Victoria's Secret, The Children's Place, Baby Gap and Macy's. Monday we went to the Ridgeway stores: Stop & Shop, Modell's, Marshall's and Bed Bath, & Beyond. And Tuesday, we took a drive up to the Trumbull mall to go to JC Penny's for Bailey's 6 month-old pictures. Not quite like KK, as I go back next week to pick up the pictures. Oh well. We got some good shots. It was unfortunate though, that Tuesday morning Bailey woke up with a couple of spots on her chin that were irritated from her binki.

We got some good pictures and video's. In this picture here, Bailey is wearing a pink dress that I wore as a baby. She was almost bustin' out of the armholes. More video of Bailey in her jumper. She would jump a few times then stop herself by planting both feet and pushing up on her toes. Then repeat. It is amazing to watch her face while she jumps--pure joy!

TJ and I want to thank Nana for giving us a date night out on Saturday. It was the first time that I hadn't put Bailey to bed since coming home from the hospital. We went to the Avon theater and saw Slumdog Millionaire. It was a great movie. It made me realize how lucky we are to have the things we have in the U.S. and how most of the world lives in poverty. We are truly blessed.
