10 Months

Bailey turned 10 months on the 17th. She's two months away from a year! How crazy is that? She took her first step on the 17th. She never ceases to amaze on her milestones. She hasn't taken another one yet, but she is she getting braver with letting go of things while standing and trying to climb on everything. Shes a little monkey! Birthday plannings are in the making!


Bailey's new poutyface haha I call it her duckface!


Cute little 10 month old!



Current words are: Mama, Dada Hi, byebye, No, pattycake, clap clap clap, duck, lala and baby, but it sounds like BA-BEE soo cute when she picks up her babydoll and says it :)

Snow, Snow, go away...

Stinkin, Stinkin snow!!! That's all i have to say. Winter needs to be over I AM DONE! I cant remember that the last time we had snow like this...I was little and enjoyed it.. but no, not this time! I've been camping out At Johns parents so I'm not stuck at home. It tends to get cold and dark in snow storms. lol I have to say I've really enjoyed my time here being with family and Bailey has had a blast with gma, gpa and her aunts! I haven't taken out in the snow this time yet. Its just too cold and too MUCH!!! She really wasn't a fan of it last time anyway. (or her snowsuit) I have to say despite how much i dislike it. Late at night looking out at it from a warm house it can be quite beautiful. BUT now it needs to go away and be gone for good! I need springtime now and Winter needs to be over! I makes time drag and that's the last thing i need is dragging time. My countdown is beginning and its a bit over 5 months now! ..He just needs to come home! I'm so ready for this deployment to be over. Bailey's birthday is officially a bit over two months!! Cant believe my baby is turning one, but i also wish her daddy was here to celebrate that with us! I know he's as amazed as I am!! Time has really flown this past year and now this 5 months needs to fly as well!!!!!

Back to the Grind

Well John went back overseas on the 6th and its just me and B again. I went through my funk and now I'm back. LOL Don't have time to be down when I'm chasing this little one around. I have good days and bad days but don't we all. I'm having fun watching Bailey grow and explore. Of course wishing John was here enjoying this with me. Staying busy and staying positive are my two biggest things. I chopped all my hair off yesterday and never felt better it was time for a change. Feels like a weight has been lifted. I'm feeling fresh, new and ready to get on with life. Well that's pretty much it. Nothing big going on with our lives right now. Counting down till John gets home and all the milestones along the way. Bailey will be a year in April, John and I will be Married 2 years in May. Of course my 22nd Birthday in June(Best holiday ever) ;p Then i will get my Amazing husband BACK!

AFTER!!!!!!

A few fairly new pics of B and me.

9 months of living!

Our beautiful girl is growing, growing and growing some more. Hard to believe she is 9 months today! She never ceases to amaze me. She learns something new everyday. Such a smart and strong willed little girl. She can get from one side of a room to another in a blink. Pulling up and standing on every thing possible and starting to cruise a bit. I went in to get her out of her crib today and there she was just standing there! Little booger! She is surely starting to test her limits. Also discovered the stairs at Grandma and Grandpa Clubbs house and found out she can crawl up them!!! I have to be one step ahead of her all the time. Here are few new pics of my drama queen.

Current words she can say are: mama, dada, clap, hi, bye, pattycake and ofcourse NO! lol (go figure)

Being a Family again!

Love, love, LOVE spending time as a family, only if its for 10 days. We are taking every moment in. John is loving playing with Bailey and seeing how much she has grown. Hes just amazed with all the changes!!

Christmas Morning

Bailey's first Christmas was a bit late but she didnt know! lol I waited for John to get home before we opened any gifts so we had "Christmas morning" on the 26th. She loved the boxes and paper more than her gifts. lol We had a great time playing on the floor all day.

Thanks Santa....

Bailey and I got the best present ever this Christmas!! A husband and a Daddy! John arrived Christmas day at Dulles! Bailey went straight to him and has kept him in her sights ever since. Hes only home for 10 days, but what a treat to have him here. I don't want to let go. We are loving every second of time together!
