Fall Update

It's Fall time, the leaves have changed, and so has Bailey. This is a beautiful time of year although, it's getting too cold, too fast. Here is my updates:
Bailey is now 4 months of age and I am proud to announce that she is growing out of her Colicy state of life which had been pure torture. Now that those first 3 months are over, I can say that they were not my favorite!! Month 4 has brought a whole new life and attitute to our little girl. I can actually put her in her car seat and she not scream the whole entire drive. My arm loves this b/c I would drive everywhere with one arm trying to find the binkie and her mouth.
She wakes up with a smile in the mornings and we bring her into bed and lay with her while she talks, babbles, blows bubbles, and girgles now. Mornings are the best part of my day.
She actually will take naps now.
She fell asleep on her own a few times...but don't get too excited though, she was already alseep and then when she wakes, we hurry in and put the pacifier back in her mouth and cover her eyes and she can usually fall back to sleep. Otherwise, it takes an hour to nurse and rock her back to sleep.
She usually will sleep for a stretch of 6-8 hours, wake up and eat, and then go back down for 3-4 more. Can't complain!
She had her 4 month check-up today!
She is weighing in at 14 lbs. 10 ounces (75%)
heighth is 24.5 inches (60%)
head is 41.8 centimeters (75%)
Shes a growing girl! I also took her to Primary's to get her skin situation all checked out. She has Pigmentary Mosaicism, human language: she's my multi-colored child!! haha, I always wanted one. That means her skin choose to be different colors in certain areas on her body and I'm just lucky it's not all over her face. She said not to worry its just how God made Bailey :)
This was Baileys first experience with another baby. Thats Max, Kyles best friends baby, and he is 7 months old. We should thank Max b/c the night we found out Jesse and his wife were expecting, was the day we concieved Bailey! lol TMI?
Everytime Bailey would make a noise, Max thought she was upset and he would start to cry. It was cute. He's doing to take her on her 1st date, while Kyle sits on the porch with the shot gun!



Well, Kyle has now found his new passion in life. While I was at work, Bailey, Kyle and my mom went out for a little photo shoot in our backyard leaves. There were plenty to choose from but these are my favorites!!

HAHAHAHA, she totally learned that face from her mommy :)


She looks like a football player in this picture above.

Haha, just makes me laugh.


Is it cruel that my favorite ones are when she is crying and making funny faces??


Bailey decided to help daddy with the laundry and she now takes anything she can get her hands on and puts it up to her face. How cute is that?
So for Halloween we dressed her up as a Ladybug and I was her momma Ladybug. Kyle was originally supposed to be a spider man so we could all be bugs but he wore red and black so he just fit in with our costumes. Baileys cheeks were so big they were protruding out.



We went to the Allphins Halloween party that they have every year. They had home made chili and clam chowder, donuts, apple cider and rootbeer. MmmMmm.
After that we just went and hung out at Kyles parents house and then went to bed.
So this made me real excited. I went to ShopKo a few weeks back and they had this thing if you bought $25 in P&G brand items then you got this whole breast cancer awareness cooking set for FREE!!! So I used my coupons and bought diapers and a few other things and then I got this in the mail the other day. Isn't it sooooo cute?? I love it!



Anyways, so life has gotten so much better these past few weeks. Bailey is the light and love of my life. Kyle loves taking care of her when I'm off to work. They have bonded and she loves her daddy but not as much as her mommy ;)
We are also house shopping. We might have to move out of our home we live in now soon so we are looking for our perfect home to buy. Kyle is still searching for a new job and I am back to work part time at the ER and love every minute of it. We are all healthy and loving being a family of three!!

I really think 4 months is a turn in attitude. The same thing happened to Morgan as well, its like they just decide to start being happy at 4 months. She looked so cute in her Halloween costume!

Bailey is just adorable! Glad that she is going better, BYW- do you have the book "Baby 411" ? It is seriously THE best book in the planet and I give it to everyone I know. It will tell you how to get Bailey to sleep through the night, and I promise, follow it and it works. It also has TONS of info that about everything that every parent could use.

Man I'm so bad! I always think "okay she needs to update" and then I remember that I havent even left a comment on the current one! I'm a slacker! You guys look awesome in your costumes! I feel like it was just yesterday that you and Kyle were a nerd couple. Bailey is getting so big! I love and miss you guys sooo much!
