Bailey laughs and the weekend at Nana's

This is a video of Bailey laughing. I would cackle and then she would giggle, that's why I sound like a laughing fool.

This past weekend we went to my mom and dad's house for Melissa's baby shower. It was a lot of fun! While we were there, Bailey tried sweet potatoes for the first time. I'm doing homemade babyfood and while it was a little time-consuming, I was so proud of myself. I felt good that I could be doing something so special for her and it was totally worth it. She loved it! And she's having more tonight!

We also have a funny story to share. Last night Heather and I went to dinner and a movie while Mike stayed home to watch Bailey. I gave him very specific instructions about what to feed her, how much, etc. Well... I got home and ask him how everything went and he said great. I asked about her food and how much she had eaten and he shrugs. I told him to give her a regular 6 oz bottle and then about 2 tablespoons of cereal mixed with a very little bit of breastmilk. He proceeds to tell me he gave her a 6 oz bottle, then about twice the amount of cereal she normally gets and then drinks about another two onces of milk to "wash it down." I laughed so hard. I thought she would never wake up to eat again. Around 10:30, I woke her up to feed her before I went to bed like I normally do. She ate for about 20 minutes and then right back to sleep. Then she didn't wake up until 6:30! EIGHT HOURS! WOOHOO! That was the first time ever she slept that long! So Mike may have over-fed her but it certainly worked out for us in the long run.

Bailey then and now

Some people have asked for more pics and I just thought it would be cool to do a progression since some of our readers haven't been able to watch her grow and see how much she's changed in her little four month old life. She was 6 pounds, 15 ounces when she was born. At her 2 month check up she was only 8 pounds at in the 4th percentile for weight. Last week at her 4 month check up we have ourselves a 12 pounder! And she's now in the 15th percentile, which we're much more happy with. Enjoy the pics!

Our first blog!

Hello all! We (mostly me, Melissa) started this blog to let family and friends better know about the goings on of our lives. We're jumping on the bandwagon of the blogosphere. For those that don't know, our little girl Bailey is 4 months old. She's so awesome and makes our lives better every single day. She just recently had her first "solid food," which was rice cereal. She really enjoyed it. We did too, it was so much fun to watch. She's doing something new all the time! Well, guess that's all for now. Stay tuned as I try to figure out this blogging thing!
