We've been busy, busy bees so here are some highlights of what we've been up to. Bailey is growing up (she grew another two & a quarter inches since January) and she expands her vocabulary almost daily it seems.
2-15-10: Bailey & Grandaddy being cute!
2-20-10: Bailey's first gymnastics meet (who knew 30 two year olds would sit and wait their turns for 1.5 hours - they even stood & put their hands over their hearts for the Star Spangled Banner... so cute).
2-20-10: After the gymnastics meet & nap time Tony, Bailey & I took a walk to a near-by park and Bailey actually wanted her picture taken!
2-21-10: Lately Bailey has been totally obsessed with playing on the fire trucks, so every time Tony is on shift we have to make time to have some quality time with the equipment.
2-23-10 : Tony, Bailey & Me with the snowman we built in our front yard.
2-28-10: Bailey's first bounce on her new trampoline (don't worry, we have the net around it now but at the time Bailey couldn't wait to try it out).
3-13-10: Bailey making the most of one of our first sunny days by getting sometime on her bike (with some push power from Tony).
3-19-10: Bailey & Tony fishing at Gibbons Creek Resevoir.
3-26-10: The Easter Bunny bags that Bailey, Moe (my mom) & I made for Bailey's gymnastics coaches plus Jamie, my mother's trainer, & Amy, my trainer.
3-27-10: Bailey double fisting Easter eggs at the annual Easter egg hunt at the George Bush Library.
3-27-10: After the Easter egg hunt Bailey wanted to climb this tree, so Tony helped her and even convinced her to pose for a quick picture.
4-2-10: Bailey dyeing Easter eggs at Moe & Grandad's.
4-2-10: Tony & Bailey dyeing eggs (I had to include this picture because I think the look on Bailey's face is priceless).
4-2-10: Moe & Bailey posing for a quick pic after dyeing Easter eggs.
4-3-10: Bailey at St. Mary's after the blessing of the Easter Baskets.
4-4-10: Nicholas, Launa Grace, Bailey & Brayton (left to right) search for Easter eggs behind Station 2.
4-4-10: Bailey opening all of her Easter eggs after the hunt.
4-4-10: Nicholas & Bailey check out the ladder truck (looks like they know what they're doing, doesn't it).
4-4-10: Bailey atop the engine playing with the deck gun.
4-5-10: Tony & Bailey playing chess. Tony started by telling her her options about moving, but she picked it up pretty quickly and even made a move or two which took Tony by surprise.
4-5-10: All smiles from Bailey & Tony.
Bailey astounds us every day with the comments which come from her mouth so we figured that we would share a couple which make us smile on a regular basis!
Favorite quotes from Bailey:
- "I've got an idea...."
- "What a great idea!!"
- "My favorite part... What's Mommy's favorite part? What's Daddy's favorite part? What's Itsy Bitsy's favorite part?...."
- "Now I lay me down to sleep"
- "Father, Son, Holy Spirit, knees & toes"
