October 24th...

a big day for these 2 little ones

He turned 2 and a half years old

and she turned 4 months old

Bailey - 4 Months

Well, well....our baby girl is already 4 months old!  This is going too fast.  I keep finding myself "filing away" special moments with Bailey in hopes that I'll be able to remember exactly how it felt while we lived it 20 years from now.  I definitely think we tend to savor baby #2 a little more since all the 1st time parenting jitters are gone and it's very likely this will be our last go around (unless God has a little surprise in store).

So....Miss Bailey Beth turned 4 months old on Sunday, October 24th.  She went in for her 4 month well visit yesterday and got a great report.  Our pediatrician was impressed with her physical development!  He said that her body control and tracking (where they follow the light with their eyes) were as good as a 6 month old's.  Here are her stats: 15 lbs. 7 ozs. (90th%) for weight, 25 3/4" long (95th%) for height, and 16 1/2" (75th%) for her head.  Our chunky monkey sure is growing!!

Bailey's new tricks:
-she loves to laugh
-sucking her thumb
-mini push ups during tummy time
-holding toys

Bailey gets mad when:
-Tyler leaves her line of sight....she enjoys watching him play
-someone tries to give her a bottle....she wants nothing to do with it
-Tyler disturbs her while she is eating

Bailey is excited when:
-Mommy or Daddy pick her up
-Tyler talks to her
-she spots our seclusive cat, Chloe



Elmo Show

We went to see Sesame Street Live (aka Elmo Show to Tyler) tonight with the Harris family.  Tyler had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave when the show was over.  I'm sure he'll be talking about it for a while.  Bailey Beth watched a good bit of the show and seemed to like it, but she was mesmerized by all the stage lights. 

the title of the show was "Elmo's Healthy Heroes"

Tyler tried to dance with this little girl during intermission....look at her face, ha ha ha

Our Little Singer

Tyler loves to sing!  His favorite songs to sing are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and the ABC song.  He knows all the tunes perfectly but will change up the words from time to time....gotta keep it intresting.
