Matching Easter Dresses!

So this year I thought it would be fun to have matching Easter dresses, so I asked Kyle if I could make one for me and he gave me the go ahead! So finding matching fabric at joanns, plus all of the extras, it came to $35 for both dresses - not bad if you consider how much dresses are at the store. So I had to finish mine, it took a couple days, but Bailey's only took a couple hours, and I just finished! So now we can go get Bailey's 6-mo pictures taken on Friday.

Can't wait to wear these to church in a couple weeks!

Lighthouse Point!

So we've been slackers, we've lived in New Haven for a year and a half, and never been to a beach. So we decided that on Saturdays, as long as Kyle has them off, we are going to do something fun! So it was nice and we had our friends come down with us to the beach for a KFC picnic and a stroll.

This is Bailey sporting her sun hat. So dang cute!

 And Bailey sporting her overalls, we just had to take a picture!

And we've been spending a lot of time outside recently. Since the long COLD winter, we need to be out when its sunny. And Bailey's favorite thing to do is to watch cars.

Her in her 'crunch' position that she is always in. Abs of steel right?

And Bailey has these jammies that we like to call her our little inmate because they are so dang cute!

And what have I been up to? I made my first Goodwill Outlet quilt which is basically a bunch of clothes cut up to make a quilt. And for the back, I got a sheet for 99 cents at the goodwill, talk about cheap fabric!

And our puzzle that we glued together and hung above our bed fell yesterday and broke apart, so to replace it I made a collage of a few wedding & engagement pictures we have laying around the house.

Growing up!

Bailey is getting so dang big! She is already 5 1/2 months and growing faster than we ever thought possible.Already she rolls from tummy to back, gives kisses and raspberries, laughs all day long, sits, knows her name and responds, holds her hands up when she wants picked up, points to what she wants, eats rice cereal and applesauce, and just talks constantly. We love her little guts out!

She is still sitting with her hands, and sometimes bends completely in half, but she is getting there!

And her new favorite game is to see how fast she can roll over after I roll her back to her tummy.

Bailey's Communication Skills

Mirrors!

She gets it from her dad...

What we've been up to..

So we've been busy, sort of.

Bailey has grown so much! She is constantly giggling and finding her feet. It seems like she always has one hand in her mouth, and the other on her toes. And a few weeks ago, she got a tooth!

She is getting so big that she really wants to eat our food. She is fixated on it, so I think in the next few weeks we will get her some cereal. She can roll over from her front to her back, but only gets to her side when she's on her back. She is loving sitting up, and when she is laying down, she is in a constant crunch position because she is trying to sit up. It seems like she is always so happy.

And her sleeping habits are getting so much better! Last few nights, she has only eaten once a night, and slept for so long. For example last night I slept for about 10 hours! I slept 7 hours straight! (luckily I fell asleep reading waiting for Kyle to get home) then she ate, and I slept another 3 hours! I actually had time to dream! So since she got a tooth, we thought, oh maybe we should be brushing it, because the Dr didn't really tell us anything about it. So we got her a little toothbrush that she loves to chew on.

She's also been my buddy and we've hung out all day every day.

 

This is a blanket that Bailey got for Christmas. And we were tying it together.

I've been up to a few things.

I've got this neighbor that got me addicted to the Goodwill outlet center! Love it! So what happens is that when they don't sell stuff at the regular thrift store, they send it to this place, and people can buy stuff by the pound! And get some killer deals. Kyle I think dreads it when I leave with my friend to go to this place, but I always get the best stuff! Like for example one time I went to the store, I got a breadmaker, george foreman grill, humidifier, basket for my books, a sweater, cordoury the book, and a christmas tree pan all for $6. Its amazing!

So I got a shelf to go in Bailey's room and I painted it.

I got a shelf to hold the big spices in our kitchen and painted that.

And then I got another shelf that I painted, and put fabric on for our spices.

That's all that I've been up to other than I signed up for a Book of Mormon class through BYU Independent Study. I love having a reminder to read my scriptures, hopefully it makes it a habit.

Kyle really has been up to a lot! He finished his Internal Medicine rotation (thank heavens!) and started on Primary Care. This has given him more time to be home with me and Bailey. Although the commute is about 45 minutes each way, he is normally home by 4 or 4:30. But on Fridays he has the option to get off at noon, who wouldn't take that? And luckily he has weekends off so he gets to come home and we get to see him all weekend, which makes Mondays even harder. But luckily this weekend we get to go to Boston and to the temple!

Oh and happy valentines day!
