Check out Bailey's new face as as says ohhhh!

19 months old

Its hard to believe Bailey is 19 months old.  We went to her well check up appointment a few weeks ago and she is only 22 pounds.  That puts her in the 10th percentile for weight, but she is 31 inches tall and that is 50th percentile.  So she is just a skinny minny!  She hated the doctor this time.  She cried the whole time and it started before we even got her weighed.

She really is growing up so fast and it breaks my heart.  It seems like in just the past few weeks she has changed so much.  She is so independant and wants to do everything herself now.  She still loves playing a little momma to all her babies.  She follows direction so well now, expect when we are telling her "NO."  We can tell her to put her toys away and she does or throw something away and she goes right to the trash can.  If only I could start giving her actual chores. I can actually give her a wash cloth and she will wipe things off, thats a start right??

She walked in the bathroom the other day and pointed to her diaper like she had to potty.  So I asked if she wanted to go potty on the toilet and she said yes.  So I took her diaper off and sat her on there.  She started making grunting sounds.  It was the funniest thing thing ever because its not like she sees me do that or anything.  She just came up with it on her own.  I have sat her on there many times before and she sits and sits and then is done with nothing in the potty.  Well she got up and I took her to put a diaper on, again with nothing in the toilet.  But once I got her to lay down I realized she had a little poop on her butt.  So I took her back to the toilet and told her to try again.  She started grunting again and actually pooped in the toilet. I couldn't believe it because we aren't even potty training yet.  She peed in their once again for Jason after she napped one day. 

Other things she is doing:
-She will sit and watch cartoons and dance to the songs on Nick Jr.
-She knows all of her body parts.
-Can take her own pants off.
-Her favorite song is "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus--We listen to it at least 10 times a day!!!
-Can say mommy, daddy, mamaw, papaw, nanny, Eash (Jasons sisters name Ana-Leisha), Itsty (Misty for my sister), Bebba (For Becca the little boy I babysits mom), Eye, Doggie, Kitty Kitty, ish (for fish), and can sign for more and says mo mo.

The doctor says she should be saying a lot more.  She actually just started saying this stuff within the past few weeks.  So we are having a speech therapist come out to our house to see if she has something wrong with her speech.  I have been freaking out for months because she didn't want to  say anything but "uhh uhhh uhhhh"  and point. I know there probably isn't anything wrong with her, but I would rather be safe than sorry and get help before its too late.  So to all you mommas out there:  When did your baby start talking?  Were they young? Did you ever have problems with them not talking until a later age?  I would love to hear your story!

Unexpected Package

We received a package in the mail right before Christmas.  I got so excited when I went to the door and there was a package sitting there and we weren't even expecting one.  YAHH!  Of course I had to rip it open ASAP and it is from a lady Jason works with from China.  She sent some place mats, chop sticks, a purse, a scarf, and this adorable outfit below.  Thanks Helen!! 

P.S.  The hat does not go with the outfit, she just wears it all the time now.  This is the girl who last week hated things on her head including hats, bows, and hair clips.

Doesn't she look so cute in this??  As you can tell Bailey has turned into a little model these days.  You tell her to turn and she turns 1/4 of the way and so on until she has turned completly around.  She has to make sure I get all sides of her.  She also sees the camera bag and automatically says "Cheese!" 

Thanks again for the outfit!!

Sleepy girl

From day one Bailey has never slept anywhere besides her crib.  Well I take that back she would occasionally sleep in her bouncy seat when she was a newborn, but other than that she always slept in her bed.  Things changed in the past few weeks.  The holidays have really worn Bailey out or I should say preparing for the holidays.  She had some beeforoni and was then having a peanut butter ball ....pictures should explain what happened next.

We then had to run errands later that evening and she ended up falling asleep on the way home.  She didn't even wake up when we got her out of the car.  How sweet is that little face?
