Next update... almost back to the present day

It's amazing to me how rapidly Bailey is growing up, everyday she does something that absolutely floors me. A couple days ago, as I put Bailey up on her changing table to prepare to change her pull-up, she looked up at me and said "Change diaper?". I said "No Bailey, baby's wear diapers, you wear a pull-up." That's when she looked at me and said "Bailey not baby. Bailey not big girl. Bailey little girl." I was floored at this but there's more. Since we've been trying to potty train Bailey for sometime now and normally we say that big girls wear panties and go 'stinky' and 'tee-tee' in the potty and that she is a big girl now, I had to ask "Bailey, who's a big girl?" Her response... "Mommy's big girl." I can't believe that she connected all the concepts. We keep saying that Bailey understands what we are trying to teach her about potty training and she's just not ready to accept it... guess this conversation proves that!!

I loved this picture of Bailey so I just had to show everyone!

This is one of Bailey's cute summer outfits, this was the first time the shorts fit and I thought they were too cute so I had to take pictures for Tony.

9-19-09: When we went to Houston to pick up some furniture from our friends the Davies and to see the Whitman's new home, we had a quick minute to run into the Bass Pro Shop at Katy Mills Mall. Tony & Bailey were in hog heaven! Here they checked out one of the tents & a cot that were on display.

Tony & Bailey checking out the fish tank. Notice Bailey's outfit - pink dress and Winnie the Pooh hiking boots - 100% her choice.

9-21-09: Bailey & Grandaddy's first attempt at flying the dragon kite.

We weren't getting a ton of wind at Mo & Grandaddy's house so we decided to make take the short trip down to the pool with the hopes that the wind would be better out on the island. When we got out at the pool we decided to try the breeze in the parking lot before making the short trek out to the island. While we were testing the breeze, Bailey decided to practice her balance beam skills.

Bailey practicing hard.
