So Happy Birthday to me 2 weeks ago. I turned 23 on the 13th which was a Sunday. My good friend Annalee's birthday was the 9th so we planned way back when that we would go to the Utah State Fair for our birthdays. Allie and her sister came up from New Harmony and we all went to Tucanos for lunch and then off to the fair. We had a good time minus the moments where Bailey cried and cried, but whats new. lol. Shes cute anyways. Best part of the fair was when I went on a ride and left Bailey with Annalee and she started crying. She decided to hold her and when doing so, Bailey decided to let her bowels go and bam. So I get off the ride and Annalee tells me that she might be poopie, so I leaned down to smell her and I said, "yea, I think she is." So Annalee pulls her away and there was bright green slimy poo all down Annalee's shirt and all over Bailey. hahahah. She was a good sport about it and it came off easily with a baby wipe.
Anyways, we left the fair and Allie and her sister Megan stayed the night at my house. My actual birthday was on Sunday so that day we just relaxed and our families came over that night for cobbler and brownies. It was a good weekend.
The following weekend Katy, Jason, Kyle and I went to the Boyz II Men concert, yes for the 3rd time. You can call us groupies if you want, I don't even care. I didn't even really take pictures b/c I have plenty of them, I just enjoyed the show. Bailey went with us and she enjoyed hearing the R&B music that she remembers from the womb. hee hee
Update with Bailey: She rolled over 3 times in a row from her belly to her back on September 18th. I was so excited I ran and called Kyle and then I tried to catch it on video but she is way too quick and then got real cranky and wouldn't perform again.
I took her back to the doctor today for a check up on her birthmarks. She has a another one covering the whole other side of her belly. Made an appointment with Primary Childrens Dermatologist.
She weighs 12 lbs 10 oz.
She LOVES her fists and I find herself choking herself b/c she is trying to place her whole fist in her mouth.
She loves the mornings and usually wakes up with all smiles.
When I talk to her she talks back and I swear she says "Hi". lol
She loves to watch sports with Kyle and I on the couch, really she just loves the TV.
Her hair looks like it is growing in red....oh dear!
She is getting more fun each day but is still colicy.
Here are just some of the latest pictures of her. She is so adorable and looks just like her daddy. I think she does have my big smile though.

2 Month update
Yes, Bailey is 2 months old already... I know, she is such a big girl. She is becoming more fun each and every day. I love being her mommy. I took her to the doctors yesterday for her 2 month check up.
weight: 11 lbs 50th percentile
length: 22.5 in 55 percentile
head: 39.5 75 percentile.
She has had an infection in her eye so we got some drops for that. Also, she had a birthmark show up at about 3 weeks old and then another huge one across her whole belly showed up a few weeks later. I called the Dr. and they said not to worry unless the kept growing. So then another showed up on her arm. When I took her in yesterday her pediatrician said he had never seen anything like it on a baby and went to get the other Dr. in the office to look. They both said..."Hum, interesting." They said they had never seen such large ones before. The Dr. then told me I should get a better evaluation from Primary Childrens Pediatricians just to make sure. I have 6 birthmarks so we are just hoping its hereditary but there is a neurological disease, where the only symtoms are multiple birthmarks. So hopefully everything will be okay with that. Kinda scary. Bailey then recieved her 4 vaccinations. I always see mothers crying with their babies when we give shots in the ER but never knew why...well now I do. I didn't cry but I was very close to it. You should have seen Baileys face. It was heart breaking. She only cried for a minute though and then just wimpered a little and then fell right to sleep and slept the rest of the day and night. She's my little tough girl.

- Bailey is now trying to roll over every time I changer her diaper. This makes things a little more difficult.
- She has never once had a little poo, this girl has talent and has major blow outs!! The only diapers that can handle her contents are the generics surprisingly, my wallet loves that! She pooped out of every single Pampers and Huggies diaper.
- She loves her play mat. It is bright colored and has a sun that sings and lights up and she gets hypnotized by it she starts to whine because she can't look away. haha, its cute.
- Usually every morning we have a nice long 2 way conversation with lots of smiles and cooing.
- She has now slept 4 nights this week for 6-7 hours. I usually wake up automatically now but to my surprise, she is still sound asleep.
- She's out of all her newborn clothes and fits most 3 months.
- her feet are still extremely large and when I put her socks on, all her toes go in different directions and get stuck because they are so long. lol, like mother like daughter. Sorry hun!
Well, I have pictures I will add later, my batteries are dead so I can't upload them. I love being mom and I have to go back to work part-time in 2 weeks which is going to be so hard. I won't lie, I think I like 2 months old better than newborn. All I was was a milk machine then, but now I actually can interact with her and I feel us bonding more and more each day. I love every minute and look forward to every day with her. Who knew a heart could love so much.
