November and December

2009-12-06T10:44:00.001-08:00

Wow, so much has happened since my last post. I am really behind on telling you about all of my adventures. I went to West Virginia to visit my family and saw Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Aunt Hillary, Uncle Chris, cousin Carter, Gran, Papaw, met Grandma and Grandpa Great and met more second and third cousins...it was a lot of people. I met a nice dog named Sadie and another one named Piper. I rode on a tractor with Grandpa and played in his barn. I met my cousin Carter for the first time and since I love babies, I helped take care of him and shook his bottle and helped feed him (with Nana's help). It was fun. I am officially a big girl now. Daddy took the side off of my bed and now I sleep in a big girl bed. I went to a parade this weekend and saw Santa and waved at him, I didn't want to get too close but I liked waving at him. I rode in a wagon with horses, mom and dad called it a carriage. It was fun! I ate sugar cookies and rode in my little wagon. I am getting really, really excited about Christmas and can't wait to celebrate baby Jesus' birthday, I told someone the other day it's His birthday and He is brining presents...I am still trying to figure this thing out. But, I am really excited to have birthday cake for Jesus. I love the pretty tree in our house and kept telling mom and dad that I wanted a "pink Christmas". They weren't sure what I meant so they bought me a tiny pink Christmas tree that I love. I think that's about it for updates, have a fun December and I will write again soon!

Halloween

2009-11-01T05:29:00.000-08:00

I am in this phase where I do not want to have my picture taken, so here are the best ones that mom and dad got from Halloween. I was a bumble bee. Not a bee, a bumble bee (I kept correcting people when they said bee). I went trick or treating and put a piece of candy in my basket before leaving coco and poppys. I tried to give it to the lady at the first house, but she explained to me that she gives me candy, I didn't have to give her candy. I caught on pretty quick after that. I had the most fun answering the door and handing out the candy to the other kids though.

Happy Halloween Everybody!

2009-10-31T05:31:00.000-07:00

Before I head to Coco and Poppy's for "trick or treat" tonight, I thought I'd put up some pictures of my halloween outfit I wore to school yesterday. Pay close attention to my bows, because mom and dad were surprised I left them in long enough for the pictures. Well I'm off! Have a great day!

2009-10-17T18:52:00.000-07:00

City Girl!

2009-09-03T19:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some new pictures of me doing my new "big city" thing! We visited a fountain (or "mountain" as I call it) and heard some music that Mom and Dad called "Latin". There's also pictures of me at the children's museum near Coco and Poppy's house. Enjoy!

Checking in for June....

The zoo

2009-05-18T04:01:00.000-07:00

I went to the zoo for the first time this weekend, what fun. I really liked the children's area where I could walk right up to the animals. Mom and dad said I am funny because I won't pet any dogs that I meet (or really any animal) but, I petted and brushed the goats at the zoo....I guess I am a farm girl at heart! Here is also a picture of my new house, I haven't shown anyone where I live now that we moved. Hope you had a great weekend.

More Birthday to Me!

2009-05-14T19:18:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday to Me!

2009-05-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

Hi - here are some pictures from my 2nd birthday on Sunday! I had a great time eating my Elmo cake and playing with my new tricycle, baby doll and baloons!

easter pics...

2009-03-22T19:38:00.000-07:00

I went and got to see a bunny today - I didn't really know what to think of him. He was cute like a kitten but I didn't like it when he got too close to me, but from a distance he was great. His name was Stewart and I got my picture taken with him.

it's been so long...

2009-03-22T19:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been so long - mom and dad are in the middle of moving and we are all living in two different places for a while. Daddy is in Tinley Park because he started a new job and he lives with a nice family called the Ottos. Mom and I miss him a whole lot. He also has the computer with the camera software on it so we haven't been able to put pictures up. Are you impressed with how smart I am about technology? Ha! It's been a long time, but here I am!!!

yum, yum...

2009-01-27T04:40:00.000-08:00

We celebrated my mom's birthday early, not sure why but I don't care - it meant that I got to eat chocolate pie...yum, yum, yum. Mom said I liked it so much, I was going to lick my plate clean and so, guess what, I tried to!

me and my new do...

2009-01-20T17:26:00.000-08:00

My teacher's at daycare did all the girls' hair today - this is the first time I have ever let anyone put anything in my hair. I left my pigtails in all day - mom and dad think that I look like such a little girl...I have always been a little girl, I don't know what they are talking about! And, of course, I added a picture of me saying cheese - you always have to have a close up saying cheese!

checkin' in...

2009-01-19T18:08:00.000-08:00

I I've spent three days at home with Dad because my "school" has been closed. We have had so much fun, but today I got stuck in my baby doll stroller. Dad isn't sure how I got into it, but it was hard to get me back out. Here are some other pics of me, just being me, the Baileys! Enjoy!

bailey and her toys...

2009-01-13T17:19:00.001-08:00

2009-01-05T18:23:00.000-08:00

I was so excited that mom had the camera out that I wanted to make sure she got some close ups!

all i can say is check out the teeth...

2009-01-05T18:19:00.001-08:00

hello....

2009-01-01T18:50:00.000-08:00

Hi there. Here are some random pictures that mom thought she would post. One is of the tree in our backyard, we had a really bad ice storm and this is what happened. I wasn't allowed to walk, dad carried me, because the sidewalks were icy...yuck! Here are some other pics, the monkey I am playing with is my friend Alex. Dad bought him for me and he is teaching me how to get dressed, to use buttons, zippers and snaps. He taught me so well, I can get my pjs unzipped and unsnapped and can get them off all by myself. I don't think mom and dad think that's as impressive as I do. There are also some pictures of me with my new friend Elle the Elephant - Elle was a Christmas present from Coco and Poppy....I love to put Elle and all of my animals to sleep under blankets (I like to stay busy and this is a good way to do that!) Enjoy the pictures!

how big...

2008-12-23T09:38:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it is hard for mom to believe how big I am, she was looking back a year and wanted to show everyone what a big girl (with hair) I have become. Merry Christmas!

dancing machine..

2008-11-23T18:13:00.000-08:00

I love to dance, all the time now. One of my favorite things to do is get mom and dad to hold my hands and then we all dance together. This is a little "show" I put on this morning to one of my new favorite songs by the band Coldplay...man, I love to dance!

santa baby...

2008-11-23T17:26:00.000-08:00

I went to see Santa today, it didn't go so well. I didn't really like him, I got scared and cried. Dad and I road the train and that didn't go so well either, I was a little scared and just held on for dear life....but then, we had gingerbread men cookies and boy oh boy, everything was much better after that. I think that maybe I will try this Santa thing next year, we'll see, maybe...I can't promise anything!

being sad and being messy....

2008-11-17T19:31:00.000-08:00

Here are some new pics of me. There is one of me being the saddest Michigan fan in the whole wide world, I wish they had had a better season, I had lots of nice Michigan outfits to wear this year and that still didn't help. There are some other pics of me just being - well - messy! Enjoy!

Weekend with Nanna and Granny

2008-10-27T06:39:00.001-07:00

This weekend Nanna and Granny came to visit us on the prairie! We had fun playing with Nanna's camera and reading some new "flip" books, and I got to show them my new cheerleader outfit. Dad said that I needed to cheer even harder this year for our team...not sure what he means by that but I like to wear the outfit so I guess I'll keep cheering! I got sick yesterday so I'm taking today to sleep and get better for the week! See you later!

so much to catch up on part 1...

2008-10-12T15:44:00.000-07:00

I have so much to catch you up on. I went to my cousin Brad's wedding, so now I have a cousin Brad and an Erin...it was so much fun, I danced and danced all night and ate lots and lots of cookies. I spent most of the evening with my favorite date, Bobby. Here are some pics of me enjoying my Pittsburgh cookies...thank you Aunt Cindy! I got to play with my first slot machine and hit big with three bars and everthing, going to Columbus was fun!! I went to the pumpkin patch today and better than anything else, they had kittens there and I got to hold and pet and play with the kittens...and I got some little pumpkins to take home too. Mom and Dad and I decorated a pumpkin for me to enter into a decorating contest at Mom's work, she is going to take to it tomorrow so we will see how I do. I think that's all, it sure has been a busy couple of weeks. Oh, and here's a shout out to all my new friends at Verizon I got to meet at the wedding - HI!

i am a rock star in my sunglasses...

2008-09-20T12:01:00.001-07:00

Here I am in my cool glasses - and also having a little "talk" with all of my stuffed friends, we were deciding what to do for the day.

here are my toes...

2008-09-16T17:39:00.001-07:00

Here I am finding my different body parts...mom says she is sorry, she filmed this sideways and can't figure out how to fix it...but it was too cute not to share!

i've been missin you...

2008-09-16T17:27:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in a while, sorry about that. Mom and dad went away for a couple of days without me so we are a little behind on things. But, fear not, here are some pics of me loving my favorite horse, getting ready for a walk in my hood and some other great pics of me, just being me!

thursday night bath time...

2008-09-04T17:30:00.001-07:00

Here I am getting ready for a bath and all clean in my "I love rainbow" pjs.

catchin up...

2008-09-04T17:22:00.000-07:00

I had a really busy weekend over Labor Day because my grandma and grandpa Tygrett came to see me...I had a great time with them. They took me swimming in a big pool and I thought that was pretty great and we played outside and I even swang in my swing for them, something I haven't wanted to do yet, but I got brave and wasn't scared. Here are some pics of me and grandpa in what my mom likes to call a montage.

me on my little chair...

2008-08-31T09:02:00.001-07:00

hi everyone...

2008-08-31T08:46:00.000-07:00

Here are some new pics of me - of course! I have this new thing that I really like to do, sit on top of cool whip containers, they are just my size and my special tupperware cupboard has a bunch of them in there. Enjoy my pics and your long, holiday weekend!

my weekend...

2008-08-19T17:43:00.000-07:00

I had a really fun weekend, mom and CoCo and I went to Columbus to see my family for a wedding shower. It was a long car trip but I did a really good job and I got to eat lots of whipped cream, eat at an irish pub, pet real live dogs (who liked me) and see my aunt, uncle and cousins. It was a lot of fun, but I sure was tired once we got home, I went to bed at 6pm...but mom said something about time change, whatever that means?!

jumpin'...

2008-08-10T17:19:00.001-07:00

I have learned to jump - ok - well, kind of. I don't really get my feet off the ground but it's a start! And I think it is so much fun!

mowin'....

2008-08-10T17:10:00.001-07:00

I have my very own mower too, check it out, me mowing the sidewalk!

sweepin'...

2008-08-10T16:59:00.000-07:00

I got my very own sweeper for my birthday and can use it like a pro now, check me out helping mom and dad. Although, I don't run it on the carpet, only on the tile floors, mom says I am going to need to work on learning to use it on the carpet - but I still think I am a pretty big help!

new word...

2008-08-02T17:31:00.001-07:00

So, I can say a new word. Right now all I really say is da-da and yes and ditten (kitten). But today, I started with "co co", pretty cool, huh? That's what I call my grandma on my mom's side. I don't even say mom yet, hee hee but went around all afternoon saying Co Co.

summer sprinkler fun...

2008-08-02T17:25:00.000-07:00

My aunt Hillary bought me a sprinkler for my birthday and I played with it today..it was wayyyyy hot and it felt good to get wet. I also had my pool out and a whole bag of little fish friends to play with. My favorite thing to do was take the little fish and wash them off (they got grass on them) in the sprinkler...I am my mother's daughter, I like thing clean! Enjoy my pics, stay cool wherever you are!

my new shoes and my kitten...

2008-07-31T17:59:00.001-07:00

I got new shoes, I wanted to show you them, they are nice and white (for now, hee hee!). I am still carrying around the old doll that was my mom's but, everyone keeps talking about a replacement doll that is on the way, I am not sure what that means, we'll see. The video is really short but I wanted to show you my furry friend, Kitten. That's all for today, I didn't take a very good nap at daycare so I have to go to bed early. Night.

some snapshots...

2008-07-29T03:34:00.000-07:00

This is me in my little pink hat, someone should have let me look in the mirror before they took the picture! Here is my traditional baby picture with spaghetti sauce that mom says all kids have at some time and here I am reading with my favorite dad...and with my new favorite baby doll (who happens to be mom's old doll that she was taking home from CoCo's house to put away in her hope chest but I saw "Dee Dee" and went crazy, she is the best doll ever...so now I am playing with her. Mom says she is old and dirty but I think she is just perfect.

country dancin'...

2008-07-28T17:52:00.000-07:00

I had on my dancin' shoes tonite!

progression of sadness...

2008-07-22T17:36:00.001-07:00

More playing!

2008-07-18T19:26:00.000-07:00

I discovered a new trick! Watch my new video!

Cool pictures for hot days...

2008-07-18T19:16:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad say that it's "humid" outside here. I don't know what that means but I do know I've been sweating. Maybe that's because I play so hard. Here's a few of my new "playing" pictures and from the Emden Homecoming!

hello, hello...

2008-07-14T09:42:00.001-07:00

This is me and my friend Hattie. I went and had a play date with her a couple of weeks ago. Her mom used to watch me before I started going to what I like to call school but mom and dad call daycare. Hattie and I spent the afternoon fielding phone calls!

check me out...

2008-07-13T11:26:00.000-07:00

look at what i can do..

2008-07-02T17:27:00.000-07:00

You never really understand the concept of "monkey see, monkey do" until you have kids, Bailey was putting her lotion on, how funny!

Reading...

2008-07-01T18:25:00.000-07:00

I tried to load this on blogger but it wouldn't work...so I went back to using the old "youtube". I love to read now, I love to crawl up into mommy and daddy's laps to read books but, I also like to read out loud, to myself, or anyone who will listen....click here and you can listen too!

more from vacation (two other posts below this one)...

2008-06-29T06:05:00.001-07:00

home from vacation...

2008-06-29T05:58:00.000-07:00

Wow, we just got home from vacation, I sure did have a wonderful time. I swam in a giant bath tub (everyone else called it a pool) and I loved it, it was so much fun!!!! I played in the sand and didn't even eat any. I tried all kinds of new foods like crab and sweet potato fries, I had my own special little container of ice cream which I got to eat every night. I also had my first real accident, I fell and hit my mouth on the coffee table and bit my tongue really bad..but ice cream made it feel better! I started talking so much more than I ever have and I had such a good time but am pretty tired, I got to stay up past bed time all week so I need to catch up now! Enjoy the pictures, oh, yeah, I got to play golf too at the Bear golf course, see my pictures with my club!

me and my rockin' chair...

2008-06-10T18:39:00.000-07:00

My great-grandma and grandpa Troy bought me a special rocking chair for my birthday. I was too sick to play with it then, but now it has become one of my favorite toys and I rock in it every day. I am tall enough to get into it by myself, here is a short video of me playing with the chair and some pics, enjoy!

check me out walking...

2008-06-09T16:35:00.000-07:00

Where is the kitten...

2008-06-05T18:04:00.000-07:00

Bailey has new pjs and they have a "kitten" on the front. She was so excited about the kitten, she kept looking for it and touching it all morning...she didn't like that her bib covered the kitten up. As a side note, everything that isn't a "da da" is now a "kitten" in our house...hopefully our vocabulary will expand soon!

Quick little walk...

2008-06-05T17:48:00.001-07:00

(Bailey's mom is posting, instead of Bailey)...they tell us she can walk at daycare, we are starting not to believe them, getting Bailey to walk is like looking for big foot, you can't get it on film or see it for yourself most days!

memorial day part 1...

2008-05-27T17:42:00.000-07:00

I had a very busy Memorial Day weekend. I should have called this post swimming pools, play houses and grandparents. My grandma and grandpa Tygrett came for the weekend. I got a new playhouse (with a door and a slide, yeah) for my birthday. I also got a swing but I am not too sure about that yet...we'll see. I swam in my pool for the first time and had a lot of fun. It was a busy weekend, I even took some steps all by myself to grandpa...I am a pretty big girl...check me out in my red, big girl chair in the pictures. Well, since it was so busy I am going to go and get caught up on some rest, see ya!

pretend birthday...

2008-05-17T18:51:00.001-07:00

Hi! I am feeling so much better, in fact, we celebrated my birthday again today so that I could have some cake...boy I liked that, I got really dirty and sticky and it kind of messed up my hair (as you can see). I like this birthday thing, my grandma and grandpa Tygrett are coming next weekend and mom and dad say that we are going to do birthdays again, can you believe it!

bailey birthday part 2...

2008-05-11T14:58:00.000-07:00

birthday bailey...

2008-05-11T14:50:00.001-07:00

I am now officially one, not sure what that means but it did mean that I got to open lots of boxes with paper on them and see lots of family members. My great-grandma and granpa Troy came all the way from Pennsylvania to see me along with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Danny. I have had a stomach virus for the past four days so I was pretty sick for my birthday and made mommy sick too. Neither of us were able to eat any of my cake or birthday dinner. My cake was my friend Grover (he makes me laugh all the time) that my Poppy made me for. Mom and dad froze some cake so that I can eat some when I feel better. Here are some pictures from my day, just some highlights: when you get a box, it is always a good idea to try to sit on it, I got a doll and a cradle and I thought I should try to sit in that instead of my doll, I got som great books, clothes and lots of other things. Hope you enjoy, I will write more when I feel better.

breakfast with bailey...

2008-04-27T08:28:00.001-07:00

For those who don't get the chance to join bailey when she eats, here is a typical day for her...except she stayed unusually clean this morning.

hi, it's me...

2008-04-26T12:10:00.000-07:00

my "easy chair"

2008-04-14T13:50:00.000-07:00

I wanted you all to see how I can get up, turn around, and sit down! Mom and Dad say my chair's singing gets "in their head" but I'm not sure what that means. See ya!

my dad...

2008-04-08T17:05:00.001-07:00

I just thought my dad needed to know that I love him, lots and lots...almost as much as peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches...ok, maybe a little bit more than those...ok...maybe a whole lot more! I love you daddy!!!!

dancin, dancin, dancin...dancin machine!

2008-04-06T16:14:00.001-07:00

Hey--Mom and Dad (finally) caught me dancing on camera! One day I'll be a big star!

Springtime for Bailey

2008-04-02T12:31:00.001-07:00

Hi! Did you know I'll be one year old in May? I'm getting so old! Here's a few pictures of how things are going!

Me - in green....

checking in...

2008-03-11T18:04:00.000-07:00

So many things happen every day - I have started at a new daycare and it's ok. The important news is that Uncle Jesse came to visit, we had so much fun, I can't wait for him to come back to visit with me and my horse, Strawberry Lollipop. Coco and Poppy bought me some bubble bath and I tried it out for the first time tonite, oh man, it was so much fun to play with all of those bubbles! I am off to bed now that I had my bath, goodnight.

getting bigger and bigger...

2008-02-07T05:04:00.000-08:00

Good morning. This week I did something new...I took a big girl bath in the real bath tub, I really liked it. Actually, I have always liked my bath but this is even better. Enjoy some pics of that and also of me just hanging out, drinking from my sippie cup while mom and dad eat breakfast - that's me - without a care in the world!

then and now...

2008-02-02T06:43:00.001-08:00

It is amazing how fast I grow...six months difference between the two. Enjoy. (If you want to see something cool, you can play both of them at the same time and see how much bigger I am and how much more I can do!!)

hello from the prairie...

2008-01-29T17:20:00.000-08:00

Hello! It is really cold and snowy and blowy today where I live. Here are some pictures of me from today and this past weekend. I was really active and awake at breakfast this morning. I am trying to give dad a high five in the one pic and the other one I am really enjoying my cereal...if you make the picture of me with cereal on my face big (by clicking on it) and look really hard, you can actually see my tooth on the bottom row. Hope you are warm wherever you are...I am snug in my pajamas and ready for bed. Good night!

Sorry so long...

Here's a message to all of my faithful fans! You can't see it in the video, but I have a tooth poking through on the bottom and another one on the way! I'm growing up!

long time...

2008-01-26T12:39:00.000-08:00

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. I have been very busy learning how to stand up and begin walking while holding onto things, that pretty much takes up most of my time now. Here are some pictures of me. The ones of me in the tub, my mom styled my hair for me with some gel...do you like? There is a picture of me under the end table, it's my new favorite place to go, if I crawl thru it, it's like a tunnel, I like that. Anyway, I have some blocks I have to go and play with so I am going to go for now. Bye!

weekend at home....

2008-01-13T14:46:00.000-08:00

We spent the weekend at home. I discovered mom's tupperware cupboard and she let me play with whatever I wanted, that was pretty great. I also have this thing where no matter what, if I don't have my shoes on, I will pull one of my socks off...most days I go around the house with just one sock and I like to carry the other one in my mouth while I crawl around. I have also discovered that the laundry basket and really like playing in it. Hope you had a good weekend!

I've taken a big jump in my life! Take a look at how Dad found me!

happy new year....

2008-01-02T18:16:00.000-08:00

Happy new year! Here are some pictures of me from the past couple of weeks. I like to help mom cook so I like to get into her cookbooks and pull them off the shelf (and sometimes chew on them). I would also like to point out, the picture of me in the kitchen, there is nothing better than being drooly, barefoot, dirty and free to crawl around - yeah! Here are some pictures of me and Strawberry Lollipop my horse (the horse's name is a long story, you would have to ask my mom) and I like to ride on her and play with the curtains, good times! I hope that you had a great new year, I slept thru it all and didn't get to see the ball drop, maybe next year.

my first christmas

2007-12-27T17:07:00.000-08:00

Hi! Just wanted to show you pictures from my first Christmas! Here's me in my snow suit and with my horse, and then trying to open some presents. I mostly liked playing with the paper. The last one is me riding home with my horse after a long day! Merry Christmas everybody!

me and ho-ho...

2007-12-17T18:30:00.001-08:00

I got to see ho-ho tonight, he came to mom's workplace. I think that he kind of sounded like daddy, but I can't be sure. I liked him, I wasn't feeling all that great tonight, I am a little sick, but I still enjoyed being with and seeing people. Ho ho ho...merry christmas!

christmas cookies...

2007-12-16T17:33:00.001-08:00

Today my mom and coco and I made christmas cookies...well, they actually did more of the work than I did but I got to eat my first cookie and some icing. Yum, yum! I like this Christmas thing!
