May 29th ~ Allergy test & Park

Bailey had her allergy appointment today. Not fun. She SCREAMS when the doctors have to lay her down to get her height measurements so you can only imagine how much she loves all the rest! The nurses loved her though and she managed to get three lollipops out of them! They did the scratch test and she tested negative to everything - YAY! It does seem that she has chronic sinusitis which explains the constant runny nose & cough. She has been put on amoxicillin & nose drops. Let's hope this works!
Oh and Bailey now weighs 27 lbs (she's only gained about 1 lb since 12 months, getting so tall!!) and is 32 inches tall.
The scratch test


Number 2 out of 3 lollipops



I love having a park across the street! :-)

She loves this "bubble"

May 28th ~ Crocs


Sorry for the weird frame! I can't get rid of it because Bailey grabbed my phone and somehow added the frame right as I took this pic so it is a permanent part of it! Just wanted to show that as much as I've always hated them, Bailey actually has Crocs now! Seems like such a good backyard or beach shoe. Whatever ;-)

May 27th ~ big girl




Today she just looked so grown up to me! Her hair's longer, she's taller, thinner and saying new words everyday!

This smile makes my day, everyday!


Always absentmindedly playing with her feet





Bailey the monkey girl!

My mom, Bailey & the neighbor's awesome van ;-P


Oh and while we're chatting about the neighbors why don't you check out our next door neighbor's AWESOME fence...yes that IS chair rail moulding!!!

You stay classy San Diego!






May 26th ~ Tacos at Teri's

Taco feed with the family for Memorial Day! I love when Bailey gets to play with Cade and I wish they got more cousin time!

Cutie Cade!! I think he'll make a great big brother come September! Looing forward to future cousin Carsyn!


Enjoying the pretend ducks at Gramma's pond :)


They are so cute together!

At Grandpa Mark's aviary

May 25th ~ Late night last minute


I hate when I had all day to take cute photos but I forget & end up with thrown together snaps at the end of the day that don't really showcase our day at all :-P
Love this little Target tee

May 24th ~ Mommy


I just wanted to let everyone know that apparently, by no decision on my part, I am no longer "mama" and have graduated to "mommy". I've always called myself Momma because I just like it better but Bailey it seems has other plans. I was Mama one day & Mommy the next. Just like that. A milestone I didn't think about, didn't plan on or expect. So I'm rolling with it. On to my next role as a Mommy :-)



Greg put Bailey to sleep by playing Guitar Hero today! What was so hilarious is that she fell asleep sitting up which caused her to fall over into this position. I was cracking up! Wish I'd caught that part!

May 23rd ~ They're playin our tune...

Playdate at Laura & Madeline's today - mexican mochas & coffee cake -yummy! I love me some Laura cooking! :-) The girls were playing at the piano & I luckily had my camera because I got my FAVORITE shot in ages:


LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Some others from that "shoot"




We try to buy well-rounded books that the whole family can enjoy...

May 22nd ~ Good times with Grandma

Bailey fell asleep in Grandma's arms and took a 2.5 hr nap!

My mom put some whip cream on a plate for Bailey to play with...eventually she discovered this "toy" is mighty tasty!

YUMMY

Good to the last bite!

May 20th ~ Photo shoot

I decided to have a little photo session today before these clothes don't fit her anymore :-)
She knows she's not supposed to put them in her mouth, hence the impish look!


"You got it, dude!" - Michelle Tanner, Full House :-)


She LOVES this bear from Rachel & Jared!
