Typing on my blog


Here is our little angel typing you all a message on her blog. She absolutely loves the computer, and anything else with a screen. We love you all!

Visiting Mansfield


We finally got to visit with Bridget and her family. This is her 3rd daughter, Michealyn Grace. She was born the same day that Addie was. Addie was born at almost 4 am and Michealyn sometime around noon. She is a lot bigger than Addie and has a whole lot more hair as you can see!!

We had a great visit and the girls seemed to enjoy one another.

Visiting Uncle Julio and Aunt Weezer

This is my Uncle Bill and Aunt Bev. They are two of my most favorite relatives and they are very responsible for helping mold me into the person that I am today. So you all have them to thank. They are very large fans of Addie. They encouraged her with fancy toys like magazines and Mt. Dew bottles and encouraged her to pull herself to standing.

This is my baby and I am not so excited about this pulling up business!!

Learning to Crawl!!!

Ms. Anna has reported that Addie has been scooting around to get things. This weekend Addie wanted the laptop and crawled over to it. She isn't lifting up her belly. But oh well scoot crawling/army crawling/Addie Hop is better than no crawling. Right?

After a mommy and daddy reflection, we decided that we probably aren't doing a lot to encourage her to crawl. We continue to play with her constantly on her pallet in the living room with all of her toys. When we leave her alone and sit on the couch, she actually crawls around and gets toys and plays with them!! Who knew that sometime you should leave your child alone??

As the week has progressed the crawl has gotten a little better. Today, I was feeding her Cheetos. Because she loves them! And she grabbed my shirt and pulled her self up to her knees and was getting to her feet. Oh my goodness, it is so super scary. She has no balance and absolutely no safety awareness. She is so going to be bruised up soon.

Please pray for Jeremy and I as our parenting makes a new turn from an infant to a walking baby!

Oh yeah, and I am pretty sure that she is using mama with purpose now. She has called me that 4 times in the last few days. It is absolutely the most precious sound, I have ever heard.

Preparing for the Game!

Addie, Jeremy and I in all of our HOG gear. We got Grammy to come up and take care of Addie.

Razorback Game

Jeremy and I had decided that since this was a long weekend, we wouldn't feel so guilty about being away from Adalynn and we would get some tickets. First we decide to buy tickets so we start with ebay and buy some really great tickets, row 1!!! Then we call up our great friends Eric and Tasha to go with us (they go to every game). However, this is the first game in years that they are NOT going too. They are going to NYC, BLAH!!

So we call the 1st generation Bailey's and convince them that we should tailgate. We ended up with Uncle Nub, Uncle Matt, Uncle Will and Aunt Tracie, Karen and Mike, John and his nephew. It was very enjoyable until Mike got mad at me. I tried to help him pack the car because no one else was helping. I didn't realize that they (everyone else) weren't helping because he was a crazy packer like me. So I learned my lesson sit back and let Mike pack the car.

Addie stayed at home with her Grammy and had a great time. She is trying to get more teeth, has a runny nose, and her ears are bugging her from the teething. She isn't eating a lot of milk right now. The sucking hurts her ears a lot.
