A New Milestone

Well, Bailey reached a new milestone toady..she waved!! Most of you know that Bailey comes to work with me, and she loves her "work family". Today I was helping an applicant in our front office, and my co worker, Cindy, was holding Bailey. Bailey could see me through the window, and I waved at her. She outstretched her arm, and opened and closed her hand several times....she waved! Just to make sure, I did it again, and she waved again!! Then..I held her and Cindy waved, and she waved back at Cindy! Yeah Bailey!! I know that everyday she will do more and more Big Girl things, but I just had to share this first of many!

The Chicago Zoo and Burt's Pumpkin Farm

The 3 of us flew to Chicago on the weekend of October 11 so that Ron could do his 1st Marathon. The trip was great, and the temperatures were warmer in Chicago than in Atlanta. We watched Daddy in his race, and then got to spend some time exploring Chicago. We took Bailey to the Zoo, and realized that we might need to wait until she is just a bit older for her to understand what she was looking at. She did like the Gorillas...they were big and moving around so they were able to catch her attention. Most of the animals were sleeping, but not the Gorillas.

We took Bailey to Burt's Pumpkin Farm on October 18th, and she loved it. She played the big pumpkins like a drum, and had fun exploring. We got some great pictures, and she seemed to have a ball.

She is growing and changing like crazy! She can stand up on her own, and I know will b walking in a blink of an eye. She would rather be standing up and playing more than anything else. She is babbling more than ever! We are having so much fun!

I love to swing on the swingset!

We have had several firsts with Bailey over the last few days. We took her to our neighborhood playground, and put her in the swing for the first time...she loves it! She giggles and talks the whole time she is swinging, and the higher you make her go the better. I have attached some pictures and a video of this! Bailey is also getting around really well. She crawls so fast, and is really pulling up on things well. She likes to be standing as much as possible. She started standing very slowly, but now can pull up instantly. She is even trying to stand on her own...20-30 seconds at a time. After that she falls down! She has also found the dishwasher--she loves to play in it when we are unloading it. She has also found that she loves to crawl under and through things. She crawled under the coffee table the other day, and then got stuck under it..too cute! She is also crawling under and through all of her bigger toys..I have attached some cute pictures of that as well. She is saying her few words more clearly now, and I think that she's got down pat who mama and dada are, and may have even started calling Ron's mom nan nan...it is so funny to hear her talking; such sweet sounds. We are having so much fun with her, and all of her daily changes. We are looking forward to going to Burt's Pumpkin Farm..so maybe the next post will have some great Pumpkin pictures....more later!
