Bailey Quotes

Bailey and Sydney and I went for a walk this morning. Bailey saw a bird in this pine tree. She tried to point it out to me and said, "In that pineapple tree!" I proceeded to take the picture of the tree to put here on the blog...and afterwards, she said, "The tree isn't smiling Mommy!" Oh right. Why would I take a picture of something that isn't smiling? Her comments made me giggle.

Bailey was wanting to play with her DeeDee while I was feeding Sydney a bottle one late morning. She had a corner and wanted me to grab the other corner with my feet and hold on. I did and she would laugh as she pulled and then I would let go. She would say, "No DeeDee for you!" I responded "No soup for you!" -- the famous line from one of the Seinfeld episodes. She ran to the kitchen and returned with a Cars the Movie can of Chicken Noodle Soup and shouted, "Yes! Soup for me!!!" We ended up eating the soup for lunch.

I started to do an Ab routine on an App from my iPhone one day. Bailey asked what I was doing. I commented how I was working on getting rid of my tummy after being pregnant with Sydney. She came over and lifted up my shirt to take a look at my belly. About 5 minutes into the routine, she came over to me and lifted up my shirt again. "Is it all gone Mommy?!" she exclaimed!

On a side note, Bailey has started to call me Mommy instead of Mama. Pretty much around her 3rd birthday. Not sure where she heard that...I kinda liked Mama. But Mommy is good too!

Bailey's 3rd Birthday - Part 1

We had a couple of parties for Bailey's birthday this year. We had a family BBQ at our house on the 7th.

Bailey Swim Lessons

We signed up Bailey for Parent-Child swim lessons through the Boise Parks & Rec for 2 weeks. Four days a week, 30 minute sessions. She had a great time and learned about "ice cream scoops" for learning the crawl, kicking, blowing bubbles and listening to the fishies (putting her ear in the water). We played Ring-Around-The-Rosie, Sharkie-Sharkie, and Motorboat. The water was cold, but it still was a great experience to get her in the water. Aiden and Kenzie had lessons at the same time, so Julie was able to watch Sydney while I was in the pool with Bailey. Thank you to Grandma Kemp for coming and cheering her on and taking pictures!
