Today has been a good but LONG day. Bayley was with Gail today. Me & Brian both had to work and it stunk! Miss Bayley is still loving her jumper. As you can see she is figuring out how to move around in it. She is cracking me up. We had a lazy night. Brian & Bay slept in the recliner for most of the night...then I got the great privaledge of driving to stinking Hayden to get Syd after midnight. YUK YUK YUK. So I rang in my new year on the phone with Cindi! (Thanks Cindi for talking to me and keeping me awake! lol) This time last year I was terified that I would lose the baby & of course no one knew. lol Well as you can see this year ended up being extremely stressful but worth every bit of it! Hope everyone has a great new year!

This is Bayleys "thing" she does when she is trying to go to sleep. She either holds our nose and plays with our face or she sticks her fingers in our mouth...she is cute you gotta love her. Bayley had a good day. She was good at church. She slept a lot again today. We basically didnt do anything but go to church. We went to the grocery store after church but Bay got sleepy before we got home. She is a LAZY baby these days.

Today has been a good day...We did ....NOTHING. Like completely NOTHING. We woke up a late (yes who would ever think 8am would be late) and fed Miss. Bay and then took a hour and a half nap. then we watched tv and took a bottle and napped some more. Brian & Syd did manage to get the tree taken down but me and Bay sat on the couch and just watched! lol it was fun! I definitely think we needed our day of NOTHING.

Whew it is COLD. Bayley was at Gails today. She had a good day. She slept a good bit. She played in her jumper again tonight. She seemed really sleepy tonight so lets hope we get some rest this weekend.

Bayley is starting to LOVE her Jumper! As you can see she is all smiles....for a few minutes atleast! lol She has been in it for maybe 5-10 minutes before she gets fussy and that is good for her... She is DEFINITELY a high maintenance woman! She had a good day at Gails today. Nothing too exciting to report.

Bayley is LOVING her daddys new blanket! lol Today was a good day. Bayley went to Gails. She had a good day. She was a little tired today because of all the excitement from yesterday but that is to be expected. She has had fun playing with some of her new stuff. We have really been trying her in her jumper a good bit and I think it is growing on her. More tomorrow.

Christmas Morning Big Sissy decided to help feed Bayley her cereal in an attempt to speed up opening gifts!

Christmas At Mother & Daddys

Our First Christmas as a Family of FOUR!
Christmas morning I got up with Bay like normal...then the strangest thing happened...SYDNEY ACTUALLY GOT UP AND OFFERED TO FEED BAYLEY! WOW. No doubt it was in an attempt to hurry me up so that we could open gifts but regardlesss Merry Christmas to me! lol We had a great time opening gifts. Everyone loved their stuff. Sydney loved everything she got. Bayley did a good job opening the first few presents...until her attention span was shot then it was hold me time! lol We layed around and watched Gilmore Girls! We got ready around 11 and headed to Mother & Daddys for Christmas. We had fun there. Alana & Brody were sweet with Bay. She rolled over for them. We goofed off there for most of the afternoon. Then we headed back home and dropped Brian off. Me & Bay took Sydney out to Kimberly to Devin's dads house so that she could have Christmas with him. Bay was really good on the ride out there and back. We had a quiet night at home and even napped a little bit! I would say Bayley's First Christmas & Sydney's First Christmas as a sibling and not an only child were a SUCCESS!!! Hope everyone's Christmas was great!

Notice Bayley the Bully pulling Becca's Hair! Sydney is in mid laugh!


My Big Girls opening their Christmas PJ's!

Christmas Eve was BUSY but fun. Brian had to work. We slept a lil late...7am! Go BAY! I woke Syd up at 10 ish and we cleaned up some and got ready. We headed out to do my traditional last minute shopping. lol We only had to go to Hueytown but I still have several stops there to make. We got home in time to wrap a few more gifts & then packed back up and headed over to Brian's Grandmothers for Christmas there. It was fun. Bay was in a good mood for the most part but she was SOOOOO tired and wouldnt go to sleep because it was too loud and she was scared she would miss something! We came home from there and Sydney had one more gift to wrap. I must mention that Sydney wrapped EVERY gift this year EXCEPT hers! Thank You my Darling Daughter!!! Well at 9:30 exactly she finished wrapping the last gift and I went to get the wrapping paper to START wrapping her gifts .....ONLY to find out that WE WERE OUT OF WRAPPING PAPER. I wanted to cry!!! I had just laughed at the stack of wrapping paper that Becky had saying how silly it was to have that much. It wasnt so funny at 9:30 pm on Christmas Eve. I headed out in search of wrapping paper...THANK GOODNESS Walgreens was open. It was a ZOO in there. I saw like 2 different people I went to high school with...It was like it was 8am not 10pm. lol I had to laugh... So then I headed home and finally got started wrapping Sydney's stuff... I finished at 1:30am!!! Please remind me next year to NOT wait until the last minute to wrap gifts!

Today was restful & hectic both! lol We went to church like normal. Bayley was in a good mood and was good during church. After church we headed home & I was going to run to Wal-Mart and finish up my xmas shopping....but instead I took a much needed nap! It was wonderful! We went to church that night and then UNFORTUNATELY I STILL HAD TO GO TO WAL-MART. UGH... O well it ended up not being too bad crowded. Sydney stayed home with Brian and wrapped gifts! GO SYD!

Today was a LONG but good day. We got up and got ready and headed to Brian's parents house for Xmas there at 9:30am. Bayley was in a good mood. We had breakfast then opened gifts. Bayley was so cute...she would actually pull the paper and then of course immediately try to put it in her mouth. She did lay on the floor with Becca & Sydney after we opened gifts and tried her best to play with them. It was so cute! I was MADDD about her outfit that she had on...notice the big red stain on the front of her shirt...THAT WAS NOT THERE WHEN WE PUT IT ON! Bayley drooled and the red from the neck of the shirt ran down the goofy thing...ughhh. O well. Anyway around 2 me Sydney & Bayley headed out shopping. We went to Brookwood & then headed to the Galleria. It really wasnt that bad crowded. More tomorrow.
