Brooklyn's Baby Shower

One of my best friends from High School had a baby about 5 weeks after Bailey. Sue and I had her shower all planned and ready until little Miss Brooklyn decided to come early. So we postponed the shower a few weeks and were able to have it with Brooklyn instead.

Sue made the yummiest chili I've had in a long time. We also had some yummy chocolate cupcakes with pink swirls and some flower shaped sugar cookies. Sorry, this picture of the food table isn't the greatest.



It was fun to see my friend Vanessa who I haven't seen in a while. I love that we three girls were inseperable during high school and we all ended up having a girl first. I hope that all of our girls will be friends too... although I hope they don't give their parents quite the amount of gray hair that we did ;)

Congratulations Jessica! Miss Brooklyn sure is a cutie!

2 1/2 Months!

I started back to work on Monday and I've been a little bummed about it. It's nice to get out of the house and get dressed up but I miss my baby! I took this picture of her with my phone the other day and she started to yawn right as I took it and it made me laugh. I just love this girl!



She is 2 1/2 months now and I forgot to document her 2 month check up.

Weight: 8 lbs. 2 oz. - 3rd percentile
Height: 22 inches - 34th percentile

I was a little concerned that she is only 1 lb and 2 oz. heavier than her birthweight but the doctor thinks she is just going to be little. She loves to eat but she's just long and skinny (which she most definitely gets from the Carlson side). :)

Our Nampa Trip

A couple of weeks ago Dave and I took Bailey up to Nampa, Idaho to meet Grandma and Grandpa Morgan and we had a great time. It was a weekend full of food (the best biscuits and gravy ever) and entertainment (which consisted of joke after joke from my cousin Heath... what a funny kid!).
Another of my cousins came up with his little family. They have a little girl a couple of months older than Bailey. It was fun to watch them play together on Bailey's play mat. (p.s. this playmat is the greatest babysitter, Bailey loves it and usually plays under it for an hour at a time!)

Thanks for the great weekend! We will come up and visit again soon!

San Francisco; Dave's Birthday

Dave turned 30 this year so we decided to celebrate in San Francisco. We only had about a day in the city so Dave did a lot of research so we could see everything we wanted to. Since we are both children of the 80's we loved Full House. We thought it would be fun to try and find the house featured in the opening credits of the show. With a little research and a lot of Youtube we think we found it (although now the front door is a different color).



The lady that lives here came home while I was on the front steps... kind of embarrassing.

We had a great time but we sure missed this little face the whole time we were gone.


Thanks for watching Bailey for us Steve and Nancy!
Dave had a fun birthday but it wouldn't be the same without his favorite dessert. When we came home I made Dave his favorite cake, a boxed yellow cake with canned chocolate frosting. Happy Birthday Dave! I love you!

Bailey's Blessing Day

Bailey was blessed on May 1st. Dave was super nervous but he did a beautiful job. We found out that Bailey is one slippery girl since she slipped through everyone's fingers and dropped but it was Dave to the rescue. He caught her in the nick of time! What a great dad!

These are the booties that my cute grandma made for Bailey. Thanks Grandma Bradshaw!

Thanks Steve and Nancy for letting us use your home for the luncheon. It was so fun!

Happy Easter!

Sleep Deprived?

If only she would do this during the night...
