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.
