our next chapter starts now

Well, it's happened.  We are officially moving.  This  last month has been quite a rollercoaster but finally it's slowed down.  Now it's time to hop off one ride and get on with the next.  We have been packing like crazy the last few days so we can be out tomorrow night.  It's bitter-sweet.  There are so many things I will miss about this home and our neighborhood, but I am excited for the next chapter of our lives.  So, on to packing (and crying)...just wanted to give a little update.

oh bailey

I figured since I posted pictures of Emmy the other day, now it's Bailey's turn. 

I can't believe how smiley this little girl is...and how chunky she is too!  I am loving this super warm weather so I can put her in tanks and show off all her cute rolls! 

She is such a great sleeper!  Since she was about 2 months she's been sleeping about 11-12 hours each night without waking.  She takes good naps too.  I know she's got enough sleep when I can hear her talking in her bed.  She's happy when she has a good nap.  Lately, she's been a tummy sleeper too.  It worries me a bit, but I check her frequently.  

Bailey is such good baby. She rarely cries, so I know something is really wrong when she does cry. Although, lately she's cried a bit more than usual and it's when I walk out a room or she's been in one place for too long. 

She is just so darn happy!  Sometimes all is takes is for you to look at her or even just say her name and her WHOLE body tenses up because she's smiling so big!

Bailey seems to be growing and changing by the minute these days!  I am so blessed to have such beautiful and fun little girls and although it's hard somedays, I am especially thankful that I am able to be home with them every day!

"emmy wash car"

 I'll be the first to admit it.  I'm not the best at keeping my vehicle clean.  I do pretty good with the inside, but the outside is a different story.  I figure the rain is a good free car wash now and then.  Well, once or twice a summer I get out the buckets, rags and soap and give it a good scrub.  Of course Emmy loves to "help."

She loves anything outside...and playing with the hose.  I put her swimsuit on her the other day and we washed and washed.  When I took this picture of her it looked familiar to me....

...I looked through my photos from last year and found this one of Emmy helping me last summer.

Yup, one year later and she can still fit into the same swimsuit.  She hasn't gained but maybe a pound over the last year.  She has grown a bit more hair and added some heighth though.  And look at the first picture, now she sits on the seat while "driving" and she even put her seat belt on!  She sure is learning from what we do.
