Happy Fall & Happy 11 Months!

I remember going to Warsaw Women's Center for my 41-week check-up 11 months ago like it was yesterday. Dr. Freyre examined me, and recommended for me to be induced that same morning! I was so excited to meet Bailey soon, but little did I know about how our lives were going to change - for the best, of course :) Everyone who said "you cannot be 100% prepared to have a child" - you all were right! We are still "preparing" ourselves, our house, our dog, our lives, and etc to have Bailey.
She is still not walking by herself; crawls everywhere, and walks around the furniture while holding up. Recently we discovered our outlets for the central vacuum - and I've been trying to figure out how to hide and/or close them. If anyone has suggestions - I'm open to them...You see, they are a lot more "fun" then regular power outlet because our whole hand can fit inside...
New recent experience for us was Bailey's ear infection a few weeks ago. My poor little thing! She was so miserable, with high fevers reaching 102 mark, no appetite, and constantly wanted to be held in my arms. It was very difficult for both Jeremy and me to watch her and not being able to do anything to help. The plan for the rest of our lives was for Bailey not to EVER get sick again. But apparently we forgot to mention it to her because this morning she woke up with fever of 101.4 :( Our Dr. Jain said it's not ear infection this time, but a virus of some sort.
Current weight: 22 lb 10 oz
Naps: still twice a day (today we had 4)
Sleep: 7:30ish pm -7ish am
Food: still avoiding nuts, egg whites, and milk. Everything else is a go. One of our new favorites is watermelon (it is mine too). 

Tooth #2!

Last week Bailey decided to surprise us with her second tooth! This time it's her bottom right, next to the 1st one, and it's just as sharp as the 1st one.
Apparently biting runs in families - like daddy, like Bailey. If the biting doesn't stop soon, then mommy is quitting breastfeeding!
In her 9 months of life Bay learned to do a lot, she already crawls, sits up on her own, gets up on things, walks (if she's holding on to you), even use a potty (that's if I catch her at the "right" time). We are very proud of all her accomplishments, and look forward to many new things she'll learn, but at the same time I already miss her being this little!

Our latest stats:
Height: 29 1/2 inches
Weight: 21 pounds
Sleep: 2 naps during the day and 7:30pm-7:00am at night
Food: pretty much everything except for fish and nuts (occasionally we catch her trying to have some of Bo's food as well)
Clothing: 12 months and up
Diapers: she could wear size 4, but since she's so tall we wear sz. 5.

9 months of awesome times

Big girl Bailey Boo turned 9 months on Thursday! We've been having so much fun with her. Today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will be better than today, and it continues to be true for every single day. I fall in love with her more and more everyday. It is such joy to my heart to watch her do, learn, and discover new things around her world. Her favorite toy is still Bo (our dog), and he is starting to play with her a little. At first he wouldn't even let her touch him, but now she'll crawl up to him and starts to play with his paws. But Bo has his limits - after a minute or two he'll get up and walk away.
Our eating schedule hasn't changed much, 5 times a day. She loves her fruit, and is a bit picky with veggies. Naps are finally getting on a schedule, she usually goes down around 9-10am, and then 1-3 after lunch. Now that we have more or less of a schedule it's much easier for me to work and schedule showings around her. Bay still comes to all of them with me, and is still selling houses left and right. This week alone we had two accepted offers, negotiating another one, and a closing. I try not to do too much, and actually spend quality time with Bailey - I know I'm never going to have this time again. Here are a few of our recent shots - I took them right before her morning nap, so she wasn't very cooperative :)

Can you see my tooth?

Long overdue updates...

Having fun on Tippy Lake

I thought that I would be better with updates on here, but obviously I'm not...Bailey Boo is 7.5 months old already, and here are her latest stats:

• she eats about 4-5 times a day. She likes fruits MUCH better than veggies
• so far we've covered the following: apples, pears, mangoes, peaches, strawberries, broccoli, potatoes, sweet potatoes, avocados, celery and carrots
• no schedule for naps, unfortunately; I try to put her down twice a day,  but it really depends on how many showings we have that day
• at night time she sleeps good 10-12 hours
• the first tooth came on Father's day - it was daddy's present
• she finally crawls! Now it takes her no time to get from one side of the room to another. Jeremy and I are starting to baby-proof the house
• MAMA is our favorite word, of course :) up until yesterday everything & everyone was MAMA, now we also have DADA
• favorite toy - Bo (our dog). To chase after Bo is absolutely one of the most favorite things to do
• last weekend we were out on Tippy lake with friends and Bay got to swim in a lake for the first time
• riding bike with daddy was also a new activity last week - I'll need to take pics next time

This bath tub was much bigger than the one we have at home

 Overall, we are doing great! Bay and I are busy with selling real estate, as Jeremy says she's earning her keep :)
