Bailey Quotes

Bailey has been talking so much lately. And singing. She loves to shout the ABC's from the top of her lungs while riding in the car. She does great and only skips over a few letters. The Bumblebee song, Itsy Bitsy Spider. She sings songs from school, which TJ and I haven't heard of but we can piece together it pretty closely. "sophie sophie get in the middle....your turn to wiggle wiggle wiggle....turn around, sit back down."

While TJ was flipping through the TV channels, Bailey looked at him with a furrowed brow and said "What you lookin' for?"

When playing with Play-Doh Daddy rolled out a color like a pizza crust. She took it and pretended to eat it, then cocked her head to one side and said, "You want a bite?" with her voice getting higher as the tone of her inflection indicated a question.

While sititng on the toilet and pooping, "My poop fall down!!"

While being carried in a parking lot and seeing another car backing up, "Don't wreck my car!"

And her favorite right now, "You want a haircut?" with her voice going up and head cocked to one side. She sits me or TJ down in front of the couch. She gives us a blanket to put around our necks. She gives us one of her bears. Then she gets her yellow notepad of paper and a pen, lays on her belly in front of us, and squiggles a couple of lines. That, on the paper, is our haircut. TJ and I love it! We just look at each other and think "What will she say next?"

1st Vomit

This morning Bailey threw-up for the first time. Well, the first time as a "kid." She threw-up/spit-up for the first 6 months of her life.

She had woken up early this Saturday morning and we weren't eating breakfast right away so she had about a half cup of milk while we watched a video and cuddled with Daddy. Forty minutes later we fed her some oatmeal - which she usually eats in 6 bites - and after just one bite, it all came back up, curdled milk and all. She was kneeling on a chair at the breakfast table and up and out it came. Three times. Then out of her nose. TJ and I just sat there for a second and stared, then rushed up and got a towel. It's really hard to watch your kid vomit, knowing there really is nothing that you can do. She started crying afterwards, as I'm sure it scared her. We got her cleaned up and changed and she was running around like nothing happened. Later, I told her that she "puked! and it came out your nose!" She started giggling and said "Came out nose!"
