Bailey: Week 23
Happy 4th of July! Paul and I started dating 7 years ago today. Boy have things changed for us in 7 years. We are married, have a home, a dog, and best of all the most beautiful little girl in the world.
We have had another fabulous week. The big news of the week. Bailey is now fully capable of putting herself to sleep on her own. We have been working towards this for a week or so. I was terrified of the crying that I heard would be involved. But, much to my surprise, there isn't hardly any crying. Sometimes none at all. At the most she yelps (it is not a cry and no tears are involved) for 5 minutes. I read her Guess How Much I Love You, then sing her Jesus Loves Me, kiss her and lay her in the bed. She rolls around for several minutes, yelps, then snoozes away.
Today Daddy was trying to teach Bailey how to say DaDa. After several minutes, all of a sudden she said it. Paul and I were both shocked. She kept repeating Paul everytime he said it. She is growing up so quickly.
She is still working on crawling. I haven't been able to convince her that it works best to get on all 4's. She likes to either be on her hands and drag her feet. Or, up on her feet and push her head across the floor.
Bailey loves to go outside and watch Daddy and Hailey play fetch. But, today Hailey had some human food and this is what happened. 
Daddy, Bailey, and Hailey dressed alike for the 4th of July thanks to Old Navy. This is a tradition that Paul and I started when we began dating many moons ago. Every year we buy the 5.00 4th of July shirts. In 20 years we will have so many shirts. Maybe we can make a killing off them on ebay.

Boy.. Oh.. Boy.. That grass looks good. Looks like a big roll of green carpet to me. I should get yard of the month.

Love that last one. I think Hailey needs to sit behind the wheel!
