Baylee Dance Moves

She dances EXACTLY like HD! It's really cute. Well, she's getting it down anyways....

Baylee playing.

OK i think this one is funny. I think she looks like that half goat thing in the Narnia movie. Just give her little horns and a goatee and shes set for casting.

She really liked the dress grandma sent her. It also got a lot of comments at church.

Here is the tree we set up last night. Is it apparent that it is fake. Coming from Oregon I am not going to go buy a stupid 3' tree for 50 bucks at the mall. I would rather spend 12.88 at Walmart for a fake.

Britany is working on the finger thing. Believe it or not these are two of the better ones.

Baylee stuff

Here's Baylee trying to be like dad. This was taken after a few failed attempts at getting daddy's work belt on. She's not quite big enough for it yet :)

Last night Baylee decided that she was going to put the sticker that the cashieer gave her at Albertson's on her forehead. She then spent the next little while trying to figure out how to get it back off. I eventually had to help her out with that one, but it was pretty funny.

Another way Baylee has been trying to be like daddy is by putting his clothes on, including his shoes. She couldn't figure out how to walk around in them though, so she used the table for support. She was trying really hard to walk. She was sticking her tongue out and everything.

One thing that she's been trying to do like mom is sweep and mop. For the past couple of days she's been getting the broom and mop out of the laundry room and pushing them across the kitchen floor.

graduation

Here you go. this is one of me walking I think. I am finally done with being in Boise and glad to be back at home. I guess for what it matters I also got an A grade over all in the classes. So that's good.

This one is with one of my friends tyler. We had a lot of fun over there.

Funny Girl

So last night Baylee grabbed a diaper wipe and decided that she was going to wash the front door. I tried to get a picture of her in the act but she was too excited to show the diaper wipe to me. It was very cute though.

Another thing Baylee has been persistent about is learning how to unlock the front door. The problem is that she isn't quite tall enough, and she's using the wrong key :)

More exciting news; when we got home to Rexburg Baylee discovered that she could climb up onto her bouncy horse, as well as the kitchen table! I have a lot more chasing around to do now :S Oh, and she brought a white ribbon to me and wanted me to put it on her, so that's what that is all about.

When HD was here for the weekend I was trying to get the dishes done after dinner on Saturday and Baylee was climbing into the dish washer to "help" me, so I asked HD to distract her for me so I could finish, and this is what he came up with. She didn't seem to mind though. Ever since then she's been sitting in "her chair" a lot. I think that she likes the fact that it's her size and easy to climb in and out of. She's not quite tall enough to get up onto the big couches yet.

After the flight home..

After our flight home from Portland, Kelly Spence came and picked Baylee and I up, and we all went to the "mall" in Idaho falls to walk around. When we were done walking we let the kids play in a little play area they have there. Baylee and Tanner were being very cute playing together. (Tanner is in the tunnel).

Baylee and I in Washington

Here's Baylee being exhausted. I think that so much traveling and so many new faces was pretty rough on the little girl. She definitly had fun but she was VERY tired. Here's Baylee and her aunt Molly in Costco. I really miss Costco. It's such a great store and I think the closest one to us is in Pocatello. Bummer!

Here's Baylee at WalMart trying on the new shirt grandma bought her :) She got pretty close.

Here we are in the Clackamas mall. We went there and hung out for a while with my family. We were going to go to the zoo but it was raining, so we did this instead, but they did some remodeling recently so it was fun to see how the mall looked since I had last seen it. After the mall my parents and my grandma Cox took me to Gustav's which was VERY good.

For HD

Here ya go babe. Now you can see my new haircut. Here's one of me yesterday, and the rest are from halloween. Baylee just wouldn't keep her costume on for the ones with both of us :) I don't know if I look anymore pregnant than I did when you left but I'm pretty sure that I do. I love you!

Road Show Practice

Baylee and I have been in Medford, OR with Kay and Harvey since Tuesday. Last night Kay had a dress rehersal for the youth road show, (she's a young women leader) and Baylee and I tagged along. Baylee had a lot of fun playing with the other little kids that were there, and one in particular named Jesse called Baylee his friend and walked around with her most of the time. It was really cute. I didn't get a picture of it but Baylee also started walking around kicking the volleyball in front of her. She went in a straight line and everything. I was pretty impressed, plus it was really cute to see how focused she was on it. I met a lot of people from HD's ward who all said how much Baylee looks like HD. She was getting a lot of attention.

Baylee and Jason

When Baylee and I were at Kristin and Will's house last weekend, I took Baylee and Jason outside to play in the leaves. They seemed to have a lot of fun. It was really cute though.

Down the Stairs

So Baylee and I are staying at Kristin and Will's house for the next couple of days, and then we're going to Medford with Kay, we'll be in Camas with my parents for the weekend of Halloween, and then back down to Medford, back to Utah and then back up to Rexburg. We're doing this because HD is in Boise for a month, so being gone for two out of the 4 weeks that he's gone will make it less painful for me. He left here on Saturday and drove to Boise yesterday. The thing thats been the most difficult for me sofar is that Baylee wakes up every morning and goes "Daddy?" "Daddy?" It's very cute but sad at the same time. Anyways, I'm going to be posting a lot because HD wants to see what's going on while he's away, and this one is of Baylee going (slowly) down the stairs. She finally got it! It only took falling down the stairs once... :S

Pumpkin Carving

Last night Kristin, Mickie, Suzanne and I all carved our pumpkins, and we all ended up doing Disney ones. This one is Suzannes. It's Mickie mouse. It's still not done though because she's going to get two baby pumpkins and stick them to his head for ears. This one's mine. I decided to do goofy, but the pattern that I found on line was a whole lot of outlines so I had to dumb it down a little :)

Mickie did Sleeping Beauty's castle. She had a hard time gutting the pumpkin though because hers was really stringy inside and when she'd pull on the "guts" to get them out more would come out than she wanted.

Kristin did Tigger. Her's took a LONG time becuase it was almost all outlines that she had to cut out.

Jason has a little rocking chair that Baylee has been trying to get into by herself and she finally got it. This is a really cheesy smile for the camera though.

On a side note, HD is going to be in Boise for a MONTH, so I will be posting a lot while he's gone so that he can stay up to date on what's going on with us. I love you babe!

Sorry guys

It was just brought to my attention by Kelly that I haven't written a post about what I'm having. It's going to be another girl! Poor HD is going to be "surrounded by estrogen" as he's said many times, but it'll be okay. They'll just have to play softball or something so he can be a coach. They'll also have to deal with `things like wearing baby camo overalls. Oh, and having one of thier first words be "touchdown" and learning how to headbutt people. Baylee, at least, is very into headbutting things and people and watching sports with dad. I do love how much of a daddy's girl she is though. It should be fun for Baylee to have a little sister to play with. Anyways, for all of you who didn't know, that's what's going on. I'm sorry I didn't post about it sooner, I guess I just didn't think about it.

sleeping and big overalls

Baylee was trying to stay awake to see dad when he came home the other night, but she didn't quite make it, and HD took a picture of her sleeping on the livingroom floor when he got home. It was pretty cute.
A friend of mine in our ward gave me some clothes for Baylee when she gets a little bigger. They're all size 2T and up, so it'll be a while before they fit, but today she brought these overalls to me and insisted that I put them on her. Needless to say, they're a little to big :) I thought she looked really cute though.
