Too long...

Bay's World!!! She loves her toys! Sydney was trying to get Bayley not to be scared of her new Tiger rocky horse
Syd & Bay at the park for the 1st time


Bayley LOVESSSS Swinging! She laughed the whole time! Bayley has finally learned to love her Tiger! She is so cute on it! Ok sorry it has been so long since my last update. Things have been crazy and I just havent been in a blogging mood but Im getting out of it! So heres the latest update:
1. Saturday July 12 - Bayley said Cat, Mama & Uh OH all for the first time! We were thrilled! She was supposed to be saying 3-5 words by her first birthday and that puts her right on target for her corrected one year which is August 13th.
2. July 14th - Sydney had to go to Children's for a renal ultrasound and VCUG. YUK YUK YUK! She did good with the tests of course other than total humiliation (she kept saying..Ive been violated Ive been violated! lol She is a NUT!) The tests came back to show mild to moderate damage from her previous infections but negative for reflux which is great HOWEVER they spotted a different issue on the tests which is her right kidney is enlarged. The nurse practitioner said that they had a 2nd radiologist look at it to make verify and he agreed. We go see Dr. Joseph on August 12 to discuss this, what it might be caused from, and what if anything we will do about it. The nurse said they would do some blood work that day and possibly more tests. They are getting her records from years ago and will review them before we get there so I will keep you posted on that one! Also we had some problems with daycare - I basically got there and her nose and eyes were COMPLETELY DISGUSTING!!! She has a cold and her eyes were covered in yellow goo and her nose was crusted EXTREME all over her face. I just cant over emphasize ... this was EXTREME! I was beside myself. I had to clean on her face for 10 minutes with baby wipes to get her face even close to clean. There is NO WAY the babys face had been touched in HOURS. I will just say that I had a "talk" with Ms. Judy the next morning and we will hope this never happens again. If it does I will be taking pictures and going straight to the daycare administration and President Bush if I have to but my baby WILL NOT be treated or better yet "NOT TREATED" that way again! ok enough on that!
3. July 15th Me & Syd took Bay to the park for the first time. It was hysterical. Bayley LOVES to swing. She laughed the whole time she was swinging. It was so much fun.
4. July 18th Bay went to doctor for ear infection, sinus infection & bronchitis. She weighed 16 lb 3 oz. Not an impressive gain but a gain nontheless so we will take it.
5. July 20 - Bayley showed off her improved walking skills by walking all over the church! She is very proud of herself and doesnt mind showing off one bit!
6. July 21st Sydney went to Six Flags with the church and had a great time!
7. July 26 - Mother & Daddy came over for a little bit. Bay put on quite a show for them. They were impressed with her walking skills! Thanks to her daddy, Bayley had pizza for the first time today. She loved it!
8. July 27 - Church of course and I took Sydney to the "doc in the box" for a sinus infection. We went to the one in Bessemer across from the new Target. Cindi McGee ended up coming to visit with us while we waited and we had a blast! I mean at one point I was laughing so hard I was crying. She is a nut. That has to be a definition of a real friend "one who will come to a doctors office and entertain you during the extremely long wait" Syd had fluid behind her right ear adn a sinus infection. She got a shot & 2 Rx. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon. Also Bayley said BYE BYE for the first time after church.

FYI UPDATES:
Bay still has no teeth...we are seriously looking into dentures.
I register Syd for school tomorrow ---- JOY! Cant wait to spend $150+ on our free education.
16 more days until Bayley's corrected one year & my last day with my best friend for the past year & 2 months.
1 month 4 days til Sydney turns 15...start praying NOW! Luckily that is after August 13th and I will be able to medicate to calm those "parenting of a teen driver" nerves! WOO HOO!
Anyway, that is all I can think of. I will try to update more often!

Its been awhile so here we go with a quick update. First check out the difference a year makes...it was hard to get these pictures this year because she wanted to throw the mountain dew or drink it and she wanted to talk on the phone.

The 4th of July was good. Bayley was in a good mood and showed off for everyone. We enjoyed getting to see Lacy, Uncle Jack & Aunt Kaye & the rest of the family too of course. Saturday we were really lazy and just spent the day taking naps and catching up on sleep. Bayley walked took 4-5 steps for the first time Saturday. Sunday was good. Church of course then we shopped some. Bayley decided at lunch Sunday taht she LOVES baked beans!!! YUM! She got her 2nd bath of the day right after lunch! lol Monday was a little hard on Bayley getting back into the swing of daycare. Tuesday was a much better day for her. Ms. Anita said she acted happy for most of the day. Wednesday was good. Bayley walked probably 8-10 steps to show off while we were at church. Everyone clapped and she loved the attention of course. Im gonna try to get some pictures of her walking soon. More later.

This past weekend was slow for us. Nothing too exciting went on. Friday Night we went to see Paul, Amy, Becca and Corra and then went to Target. It was fun. Corra is getting so big. She is over 18 lbs at 3 1/2 months old. Becca was too cute. She played Wii and it was amazing how good she did. Me and Syd both came down with a cole "Thanks Daycare* so we just layed around a lot and tried to get over it.

I got these pictures emailed to me this week. These were taken May 21st which was one week before his diagnosis. It was Uncle Hoyt & Aunt Nellie's 48th Anniversary. We love you Uncle Hoyt and you will be missed.
Yesterday was Hannah McGee's 16th Birthday! I love you Hannah Girl!!!!
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY we finally got to bring Bayley home from the hosptial.

7/1/07 she came home weighing 3 lb 15.7 ounces.
7/1/08 she weighs 15 lb 15.8 ounces * notice the bassinet isnt as roomy now as it was 1 year ago!

One year ago Bayley's dinner consisted of 50 ml BM which is 1 1/2 ounces. Last nights dinner was corn, black eyed peas and a jar of sweet potato apple combo.
One year ago our Bayley Lauren all dressed up and pretty in pink.
This morning...Our precious Bayley Lauren pretty in pink and ready to start her day!
One year ago this month seemed to be the longest of my life...this year it has flown by! Thank God for answered Prayers!!!
PS - My mom just got back from the doctor about her shoulder. She got in trouble for not wearing her sling! ha I told her so!!! She is doing good. She is off work for another week and doesnt do therapy until after her 6 week check up with the doctor.
