A pool shark in the making

Let's go back a little bit, to our fun September adventure

This September to celebrate Grandma Sharon's birthday we went to Bend, OR. The first day we went for a hike and stroller ride along the river. Another day we went for a bike ride. Grandpa Dan pulled Bailey. We also ate some delicious Mini Chocolate Chip Vanilla Cake that I have made five times since then...it's that good!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Boy, I'm behind on updates. So sorry. We've been having fun watching this little baby turn into a little boy! He started walking before his first Birthday. It melts my heart to go back through photos from the beginning as I update our photo album. I miss my baby, but I love watching his new accomplishments and discoveries.
Here are a couple of photos.

thanks for this laugh!

When referring to a baby, "cruising" means:

a) Driving around with the top down
b) Checking out cute girls at a nightclub
c) Playing shuffleboard on a large oceangoing vessel
d) Staggering from one piece of furniture to another like a drunk

Rocket Boosters

I'm thinking that Bailey's farts might be his rocket boosters. He sure can get around fast (crawling). Working on his walking skills everyday.

Saturday Market

Bailey and I enjoy going to the Saturday Market.

Brushing our teeth

Ta da!

Older women

Bailey's first girlfriend.

Art admirer

Bailey admiring Danila's artwork. A few days later we admired the Impressionist exibit at the Art Museum of Chicago. When we got to the Modern Art wing, Bailey broke down, I guess he didn't understand it. Did you hear about the mother singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" all the way through Modern Art? That was me.

First Flight

Bailey took his first flight this weekend to attend Danila and Brian's wedding. He did a great job on the plane and was excited to meet new people!

What are you working on now?

Tooth number two broke through today! boy, did it make him mad, only to dissolve into smiles when mommy checked it out and gushed at the cuteness.

boy, am I easily amused or what?!

Also, working on the letter "p". Which is fun, because you can add a little spit to make it more interesting as a vibrates the lips. "M" is fun too, because it's the first letter of his two favorite things: "mommy" and "milk".

Lollipop

This lollipop is HUGE!

Beach days come to a snuggle-me-up and wind-in-my-eyes ending.

Break through!

Bailey's first tooth just broke through!

* All finger chewing must cease in an attempt to preserve the equipment used to keep the digital world afloat during this time of economical upheaval.

** Lower right incisor (bottom right tooth). In case you were wondering.

Carrots please

Yesterday, Bailey and I went to the Saturday Market. I got myself an organic juice made on the spot with carrots, apples, and ginger. Yummy. So yummy, I took the chance and shared with with Bailey, who loved it so much it showed! check out his orange mustache!

Coolest thing yet!

For the last few weeks Bailey would pull himself up into a sitting position if you held his hands. But today...he decided that he'd rather stand each time! It's really impressive because he's doing most of the work with his newly discovered leg muscles!
