Bailey is 2!

I find it hard to believe that I have a 2 year, a toddler! Bailey Grace is no longer a baby, and everyday I swear she grows up even more! I must admit, I am loving this age, minus the meltdowns (they are kinda funny). She is the sweetest, most adventurous, loving, creative, funniest, and smartest gal I know! 

A few of my favorite things about Bailey: The way she reads books, sings her ABC's, counts to 10 (skips a few and then randomly says numbers up to 20), how she says her colors, tells me her hair is pink and then laughs and says yell-ow, how she twirls her hair when she is tired, how she plays with my hair,her love for stickers and bubbles, her love of food, how she thinks donuts are cake, her love of ICE-C-ream, how she cuddles up with me, her pretend play, watching her be girly with her dolls and doll house, how she is our little parrot, the way she says SHHH-UCk when she or things get stuck, how she tells people bye-bye when she won'ts them to leave her alone, the uncertainty of a kiss or a slap when you lean toward her face, her hug and pats, her contagious giggles, how she gets so proud of herself for doing things (mostly things she knows she isn't suppose to do), how sweet and then completely sour she can be, the way she pouts and crosses her arms, her long skinny legs, that she calls our dog Wig-wee, when she looks for things she screams Where are you?, her fascination with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Bo on the Go, watching her jump, and when she makes her monkey noises, says No, and O-tay, the way she interacts with her "friend" in the oven, dance parties with daddy... I seriously have a million things I love about her! I wish I could bottle them all up, and hit pause!!!

Party Details!!! Bailey's "Whaley" fun 2nd birthday!

So hard to get a good family pic these days....

She loves her Grammy and Grumps....aka Gumps

Birthday cousins and friends

So much cleaner than last year...my little lefty!

I'm molding her to love horses!

Daddy is molding her to love golf!

Her buddy Will helping her out!

Her new bike from her Grammy and Grumps!

We kept the 2 year party much more low key than her first, and I was actually able to enjoy it! Its hard to believe that next year Bailey will have a baby brother at her party!!! 

21 weeks

How far along? 21 weeks.....19 to go!

Total weight gain/loss: 

? I would guess 10lbs......staying away from the scale until my next appointment!

Keegan weighs a whole pound! I swear I feel alot bigger than I look! Maybe the heat??? I am carrying this boy differently than Bailey! I also have exercised alot  LESS with this pregnancy, except for walking the dog and chasing around a toddler, which is way harder than a nice jog, right?

Maternity clothes?

You bet! No need to be uncomfortable! 

Sleep: It sucks! Keegan kicks ALL NIGHT LONG! However, I still take a 2 hour nap with Bailey during the day. Sleep when the baby sleeps, right?

Best moment this week:  Celebrating Bailey and Mallory's birthdays. My best friend is in and we got our daughters together. They were so funny, and I am pretty sure we heard their mischievous giggles one too many times.  

Miss Anything? Since I am not as hard core with this pregnancy, I still drink caffeine, and I may or may not have had a few sips of beer here and there..and sometimes I don't heat my turkey...gasp.......However, I would like to enjoy a big tall icy cold beer..the entire thing!

Enjoyments:  Knowing I have less weeks to go than I am pregnant 

Movement: YES!!! He is a mover....at night though

Food cravings: Nothing specific... I have eaten at Firehouse Subs a number of times.....

Anything making you queasy or sick: just this heat!

Have you started to show yet: Yes!

Gender prediction: BOY!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy....except for when I realize I can't do something I use to be able to do....

Looking forward to: Moving around some furniture and getting started on Keegan's nursery!

Here are the crazy sweet Birthday girls! I cannot believe these girls are growing so fast, but I love how much they adore each other... and fight like sisters! Just mentioning Mallory, Mal-Mal, and Bailey's face lights up! 

Mallory had her 6th birthday party at Bounce U and we all had a great time... I probably shouldn't have gone down the slide being 21 weeks pregnant but you live and you learn!

We made dad go down it a thousand more times with her!
