Since my blog updates are coming a little farther apart due to my busy schedule I felt I needed to explain a little bit about what I've been up to. Now I know that it is hard to believe, seeing as I am only 20 months old, but I have an extremely busy schedule. On Wednesdays I go to the library and then on Thursdays I go to Kindermusik. If I'm lucky and Daddy doesn't have to work we go to Bounce (an indoor inflatable playground) on Fridays. Mondays and Tuesdays are reserved for running errands and doing things around the house and Saturdays and Sundays are reserved for Mass and family down time (if you can believe that). Anytime that we are at home I keep busy helping Mommy and Daddy around the house, whether its sorting laundry, picking up dog poop, cleaning baseboards, preparing the garden, water the plants, taking out the trash and getting tools for whatever project Daddy is working on.
Aside from the things listed above I have a new found love of fishing. Thankfully my parents are nurturing this new passion and found me a fishing pole that has a practice fishy weight for casting. I love playing with it in the house, in the backyard and, as you can see, in the front yard. The only part I haven't quite figured out is how to reel it back in which stinks because I really hate when the string gets tangled around my feet.
I've recently figured out that trees are good for climbing. Although my first attempts haven't been all that productive, I'm learning! Busia & Dza Dza said it won't be long until my parents find me on the roof like they found my Daddy... of course I don't have a peacock to follow.
In all the hustle and bustle a girl has to take a break and just enjoy the beautiful weather and take in the view.
As of late my hair has been growing like crazy. It's been awhile since Mommy or Daddy have tried to put anything in my hair but when I found Mommy's hairband next to the bed I tried to put it Mommy's hair. When that didn't go so well Mommy made me my own ponytail.
I've recently discovered the fun of bouncing thanks to the jumper that Mommy got me after Christmas. On the downside I now know I can bounce on anything and everything, including Mommy and Daddy's bed.
One would think that my new love of bouncing on the bed wouldn't be a big deal, except for the fact that I taught myself to get up on the bed. Now if Mommy and Daddy leave the door open to their bedroom I can get on the bed whenever I want. Guess that means when I get my big girl bed I'll be able to come into their room and wake them up instead of having to call them through the monitor (yup, I can open doors on my own too).
Just a quick pic of me & Mommy.
Me & Daddy!
I hope that these pictures give you a little insight into my daily comings and goings. Mommy and Daddy can't believe how quickly I'm growing up and how fast I'm learning new things (they can hardly keep up with the "toddler-proofing").
Peace, love & my favorite things,
Bailey
Do you need water in this pot too?

We need some more dirt over here Daddy!
