We said our goodbyes today...
It feels like only yesterday we went to Chicago to pick up my parents from O'Hare, but it was almost four months ago. Today they took off to go back home. Our time together flew by so quickly...on the way to the airport mom said we have to make sure to enjoy every moment we have with Bailey because the time will fly even faster now!
Mom and dad enjoyed their Winter stay with us. They got to experience a few of American traditions - Thanksgiving Dinner (cooked by Jeremy), Christmas celebration with family, Santa's presents, Super Bowl (we got to visit Indy during that week), President's Day, and small portion of March Madness. But more importantly, they got to enjoy with us the first four months of Bailey's life.
My family has always been very close despite such huge distances between all of us - Russia, Spain, US, Canada. Our time together just reminded me of how much I miss being close to mom and dad, and how I wish my siblings were closer.
I miss mom and dad terribly already!
On another note, Bailey is doing GREAT, growing every day! She has officially said her first word, and I have witnesses. She called me "Mom" the other day, and it was such a sweet sound to my ears :)
At Bailey's four-month check up our doctor, Dr. Jain, said she's doing wonderful. She's growing like a champ! She was still off the charts for her height, and pretty close with her weight. She's right around 16 pounds now, and 26 3/4 inches tall. She wears size 3 diapers; clothes vary from 6-9 months to 12-18 months outfits. Feeding schedule is every 3-3.5 hours during the day with sporadic naps, but at night we usually get about 9-11 hours of sleep.
Here are a few of Bailey's latest glamor shots:
