Bailey is 3 months!!!

So, Bailey turned 3 months on the 19th - and what a great 3 months we have had!!! She weighs 14 lbs and 6 oz. She is just growing like a rose bush! She is so so cute and I just fall more and more in love with her everyday! She has started to amuse herself while I do things around the house. She sleeps through the night about 90% of the time - which makes mommy and daddy real happy! She isn't normally fussy at night anymore. We are about to move up to size 2 diapers...I can't believe she is this big!!!

So, We had our 1st Thanksgiving as a family and it was awesome!!! The most awesome thing about it: Bailey got to meet her Great-Grandma and Grandpa Jones for the first time! It was so exciting! 4 generations in my moms house at one time. I let my mom and grandma take her the day before Thanksgiving while Jake and I went shopping (new couch - beautiful) so that they could spend time with her. I miss my grandma all the time and wish she would move out here so we could spend all the holidays together! Of course, she just loved B and B loved her right back!

We spent Thanksgiving afternoon at Jake's Aunt Tami's house with his side of the family! It was great to see everybody. B was so good...everyone was holding her and playing with her and then she just fell asleep and hung out. After his family we went straight over to my mom's house and spent Thanksgiving evening there with My grandparents, mom, sisters, Aunt Thelma and Uncle Chris, cousins and their kids. It went pretty good considering how many people were in my moms kinda small house. All in all I think Thanksgiving was a success...one broken dish - no broken bones or too bad headaches...yup - a success! After dinner and pumpkin pie...Sisters and Dallas came over to watch a movie at my house! It was so relaxing to the end of an exhausting but awesome day!

Thanksgiving night - B was sitting on the couch and I was in front of her just playing with her...and she laughed for the first time! It was so freaking cute!!! Of course, I yelled for Jake cause he was in the bedroom...we tried and tried- she hasn't done it since. But, her Aunt Jenn witnessed it, so I know I wasn't hearing things! She will soon be laughing up a storm tho!

Also, On the 28th, she started sticking things in her mouth to chew...so I am thinking that with all the drooling that has been going on lately, that she will start teething soon. I am really excited that her hands have figured out how to put things in her mouth (which I'm sure I will regret saying later) but it is exciting for right now. I love watching her hit all her milestones.

Jake has been working with B on rolling over...She will do it with his help, but hasn't yet mastered it. I will definitely let you know when she does! Hopefully I will have it on video too!

Okay, So plans for the next few weeks are: She will meet Santa for the First time; She will get her ears pierced; and we might be trying some cereal soon! Milestones Milestones!!!

Okay, I will post some pics later!!!

She's So Cute!

Halloween!!! Bailey was my Sweet Pea in the Pod!!! We started out at Gigi and Papa's...then went to Grandmommy's and Aunt Jenn's...Then went to see Aunt Sharon and Uncle Dallas and ended the night at Tyler's to visit with T, Aunt Jen and Uncle Heath! Bailey was home and in bed by 9 and mommy and daddy enjoyed her candy! Thanks to everyone who made her 1st Halloween a great one!!!

So, we went to the doctor and B got her vaccinations. Yes I am all about vaccinations. Anyway, she is 24 inches long and weighs 12 lbs 9 oz. My little chunk. But her Aunt Jen and I both thought 15-16 lbs tho! lol. Dr. said she is perfectly healthy and if she keeps on growing like she is then she should be like 5'7 or 5'8! OMG - again the shortest. I'm the shortest of my sisters and friends, May as well be shorter than my daughter! lol

So, my sweet little girl is just amazing. She makes me so happy all the time. I hate going to work and being away from her especially for more than one night in a row. I just miss her so much!

She smiles more and more every day! I think we make her happy too! She loves to play with us. She likes long hair. Gigi will flip her pony tail at her and she just smiles...I wave my hair at her and she smiles and laughs. Well, her laugh is kinda like a cough, but it will turn into a laugh.

She is getting more and more beautiful! I know I'm biased, but seriously!!! She is actually learning to entertain herself. I'm not sure what she looks at, but she just smiles and laughs to herself. She is sitting in her swings and laying on her little play mat with the arches (top pic) and has a ball. She watches cartoons like Dora while I'm getting ready or picking up the house. We read stories every night. Dr. Seuss and Winnie the Pooh and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

One morning I went into B's room and she was just smiling and cooing and laughing (coughing) to herself. She was having a blast!!! I was standing at the end of her bed and she didn't see me. I just watched her for a few minutes and decided to tell her good morning. so I leaned over the side, said "good morning sun-shine" and she looked straight at me and started crying!!! She has now learned how to play us!!! I thought it was hilarious! I told her that she didn't need to cry because I already planned on getting her out of bed...lol.

We still only wake up like 1 time a night...normally between 4:30 and 6. Last night we actually slept from 9:45-7:00. I consider 7 am or after- sleeping all night. So congrats B...you slept all night!!! Let's see if you keep it up!!!

Note to B:
