Father's Day

June 2009: 6 months old
John had to work his first Father's Day, but he was off early enough for us to go out to dinner. We met Nanny and Poppy, Aunt Candi and Uncle Kobi, and of course cousins Bella and Skylar at Fuddrucker's for a nice and easy Father's Day meal. John had control of the camera this night so I will post what he photographed as his Father's Day memories. Bailey did make Daddy, Uncle Kobi, Poppy, and Grand Dad (who we got to see the following week!) cards. We weren't able to do two footprints on the card because she has become familiar with this process and wanted to take a more hands on approach this time, proving to make this project a little tricky, but she did a great job!
Swim Suit Weather

Bailey is sporting one of her new swimming suits :) I love how cute it is on her! You can't see in the pic but the bottoms have pink and orange ruffles on the back. I'll post pics of her in the other one as soon as I get them.
Well Baby Check Up

June 2009: 6 months old
Bailey had her 6 month Well Baby check up on Wednesday. Our little munchikin weighed in at 14.09 pounds (25%), she measured in at 26 inches (50%) and her head measured in at 42.5 inches (50%). She has hit all of her milestones except for sitting unsupported. The Doctor claims it's the exersaucer's fault, but I think he is wrong again. Am I one of those parents? He said that it was preventing her from crawling, but she seems to prefer to roll around vs. crawling. She's a rolly polly baby. Well, regardless, we just got it and she doesn't like to be in it for very long, 15 min at the most so I don't really think it's holding her back in the way he claims. I think Bailey prefers to take the easy way out, she's no sucker LOL. JK! From everything I've read babies learn things at their own pace and if they are behind in one area they are usually ahead in others. Her latest tricks are clapping and peek-a-boo.
Clapping... it's still kind of random, she hasn't associated it with being proud or happy yet
Peek-a-Boo... also very new for her to be doing it on her own, too cute!
Bailey has mastered rolling over so well that it's her primary source of transportation LOL... Mr. Kitty doesn't know what to make of Bailey's mobility feature now!On the day of the appointment we noticed a new development in Bailey's world... her first tooth. So cute =) Then the very next day she grew it a friend. So little B has two brand new baby teeth pushing through. This in combination with her 6th month immunization shots has given me some trying days this week! Nap times have become an all day battle, she fights sleep as if it were her enemy. Dosing her with infant Tylenol has helped, but I hate having to do that. But her lack of sleep is causing her to get dark circles under her eyes to match my set and that scares me. I have started giving her baths twice a day now, once late in the morning after she eats her solids and once at night. The baths are to help her sleep and it's been working so I will keep it up for a while until she stops the battles. She is the cleanest baby ever LOL.
These are her toothy shots, if you can see them poking through

It is official, summer time is here! The kids will be getting out of school for the summer this week and hopefully be spending lots of time with their Aunt Kayla by the pool. On Saturday Candi and the kiddos came by in the evening to take a dip in the pool and eat some pizza. This was Bailey's first time to experience a pool. I think that it still needs to warm up a little for her to fully enjoy it, she seemed unsure about all of it. It was pretty chaotic with all of the kids splashing her, she seemed overwhelmed by her first experience. I don't typically give Bailey a passy, but she was very happy to see it when I brought it out as a back up plan. She hung on to it for dear life and made happy little grunts as she sucked away LOL. We then hopped in the hot tub to warm up a little and Bailey instantly relaxed. She was perfectly still, kicked back with her chillin' arm propped up on me and her little feet out. It was much quieter in there and best of all no splashy older ones to dodge. No doubt about it, the hot tub was more of her thing (closer to bath time that she adores so much). I am hoping she will warm up to the pool as the water warms up. John and I will be swim suit shopping for her tomorrow, and I hope to get some less distressed pics this weekend.
She has not cared about the passy since the pool trip, I guess it was just a bit of security for her in an overwhelming place. Now when I try to give it to her she will suck on it for about 30 seconds and pull it out of her mouth to inspect it then tosses it aside. But I don't mind at the moment, because she has started to say Ma Ma when she whines. She hasn't shown any signs of associating the new sounds to me, but it still sounds sweet to my ears!
Mornings With Dad

As a store manager for Best Buy, John works pretty long hours, usually 10+ a day 5+ days a week. Even though he is a busy guy he still finds a way to have one on one time with Bailey most days out of the week (the exception is when he is working one of those mid day shifts where he leaves right before she wakes up and gets home right after she has gone to bed for the night). On the days that he is scheduled to close the store and won't be arriving home until close to midnight he makes sure to wake up with her and spend the whole morning with her and even allows me to sleep in a little like a sweet husband and a good Daddy would do. We love him for all the little things that he does! I am not sure what all the two of them get into in the mornings except for what I over hear on the baby monitor when he surprises her at the crib, which she responds with a fit of laughter. I do know that part of their special morning routine involves jumping in the car to go get breakfast and I am pretty sure the other part of the morning involves Guitar Hero LOL. They are cute together, and I am so happy that she has a Daddy who tries so hard to stay involved in her day.

Our big girl hit month six on Monday so John and I made a trip to the baby store to pick up her very own exersaucer! It's very cool. I never thought I would get so excited about my daughter's toys LOL. This particular model has a very unique feature to it. It has a built in walker, but a much safer version than a typical walker. It is stationary in the center and backside has wheels so when she is bigger she will have the ability to walk around the circumference of the exersaucer, but she will not actually have free range of the house. Down side is it is a little big, but it is so cool. The toys are bright and interactive, and the most important part is it is Bailey approved. She squealed with laughter when I put her in it and refused to nap for the rest of the day because she wanted to explore it some more.
This last pic is a result of an overstimulated very tired little baby, like I said she refused naps for the rest of the day so she could play
