Happy January Adventurers!
We hope that everyone had a wonderful and magical December. We definitely did. We were fortunate to be able to go up to Idaho and spend more than a week with my parents and most of my siblings. It was fun, but we definitely missed my sister Kirse and family. We talked, laughed, watched movies, and ate way too much. It was a great time.Bailey had so much fun playing with her cousins and wasn't overwhelmed at all. She is talking all the time and sometimes she will even perform. Her most recent additions have been 'Santa', 'presents' and all the cousins names and the almost as fun - 'mine'. It's pretty fun to watch her interact with the big kids and even the one that is younger then her. She only tried to steal his binky a couple times. Bailey has recently decided she is done with her high chair and only wants to eat at the counter sitting on a stool; or sitting on the actual counter. So far this hasn't resulted in any head trauma. We are trying to get her off the bottle (that sounds funny and wrong) and off pacifiers. She seems to understand this and has decided she needs her pacifier all the time. Hopefully she will soon realize that milk in her sippy cup isn't poison and will stop reacting as such. Send happy thoughts our way please.
Bailey's play room is now full of new toys including her new kitchen which I might be more obsessed with then her and some princess things. We try to be relatively gender neutral so she also got a batman toothbrush and some tools as well. We are excited for 2014 and know it's going to be an amazing year. We wish all of you the best! Stay tuned for our continued adventures.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, so many comments I want to make!! First, I may have to steal some of your pics (they are awesome) and I need to send you a copy of my favorite pic of the kids on the couch and Bailey hugs Austin. My favorite pic is of Bailey hugging Santa, so cute. Second, good luck on the pacifier. You should just come up to Idaho again and "accidentally" forget the pacifier at home- worked for Addi. And don't worry about milk in a sippy cup, none of my kids would drink milk out of a sippy. But you could spike it with some Hersey's syrup! Third, Baileys Christmas eve leggings were to die for and I would love a brand name on those. Fourth, It takes time for a kid to fully grasp the kitchen, but a little pretend playing with her with full narration of every move and she will catch on quick. The red kitchen is the best and so are you guys. Sending you our happy thought, but really you don't need them. You guys are great and it was fun seeing you!
ReplyDeleteThe kids and I (Jenny) love Bailey's winter wardrobe. Maybe you will have to send some hand me downs to Arizona...
ReplyDeleteChristmas looked so fun! I love that Bailey got a tunnel!! How did that happen? And I had that SVH game too! Love ya - good luck with the pacifier!
Whitney, thanks so much for sharing your family memories. I loved seeing everyone.
