Well its been awhile since I wrote last, and boy have a lot of things happened. We celebrated Bailey's 1st Thanksgiving this year, and although she will probably not remember it at all I think she had a good time. She really likes white rice, and liked gravy, but that was about it when it came to table food...she still really prefers her baby food! Bailey got to play all day with all of us, her cousins, and her Grandparents dog, Lily..she seems to really like Lily! After dinner Bailey and I took a long nap together..it was just what the doctor ordered!
We also got to play with our friend Grant just before Thanksgiving! Grant is 6 months older than Bailey so he could show her a lot of new tricks! They had a lot of fun, and We had a lot of fun visiting with Grant's Mommy and Daddy!
Our biggest change in the last month is that Bailey got her ears pierced! She did great, and only cried for a minute or two. I really struggled with this decision, but thought that if I did it now that she probably would not remember it at all..I thought that might be best as I remember when I got mine done, and it was a traumatizing experience! She has small gold studs, and they look so cute. I have yet to snap a picture of them, but will post one as soon as I do!
As far as her mobility..no walking yet!! She is cruising all over the place, and will move one foot forward, and then down she goes! She has not worked up enough courage to take off and go...but I am sure it will be any day now! She is babbling like crazy! She is making a lot of identifying sounds, and although they might not make sense to us..she sure knows what she is saying. We know for sure that she says mama and dada. We are pretty sure she can say ball or at least a very early form of it, and "woof" when she looks at a dog. She babbles all the time...soo cute!
Bailey also got to meet her Uncle Randy for the first time! It was great to see my brother, and so cool for him to meet his niece!
Also--if you notice Bailey has a big bruise on her face in some of these pictures...this is her first real injury! She fell and hit the side of her face on the running board of our bed! I have never been so scared, and have never heard a cry like that before.... I know that babies will all get hurt eventually..I just hope it doesn't happen again to her for a very long time!
Next time I write will be for her 1st Birthday..my how this year has flown!
