Trying out Independence

Bailey is close to being able to get herself dressed and undressed  :)

What a Great Big Sister

 Ryleigh loves to help Bailey out.  The other night she wanted to "read" Bailey a book before bed.

She also likes to get Bailey dressed.  Bailey was alright with it for awhile but Ryleigh couldn't figure out how to get the other leg in her jammies so Bailey lost patience.

Sometimes she is a little too helpful.  They were upstairs playing very nicely together.  I came upstairs and Ryleigh was getting after Bailey for something she did and I heard her say, "You need to take a time out.  Sit on your stool and don't get up til I tell you." 

I asked Ryleigh if she is the mom or dad and that only mom and dad put Bailey in time out.  Devin said she tried to do it again the other day.  

She's Free!

We took the side off of Bailey's crib the other night.  I am happy to report she goes to bed like a champ and only comes out if she has pooped her pants.  I was a little nervous about naps but Devin said she did just fine yesterday when he was home and did just fine for me this morning after she pooped her pants.  She did however, fall out of it twice the other night but went right back to sleep when I put her back in it.  Now we are just working on her getting up in the middle of the night.  We were hoping it would change once she was in a bed but it hasn't.  Ryleigh is so excited that she is out of the crib because that means they get to get bunk beds.  Ryleigh had them picked out a long time ago.

Our little girl is growing up.  She has started saying a lot more words in the last month.  Next is getting her to stop sucking her thumb.  Then the potty training.

1st Hair Cut

I decided to give Bailey a little trim in hopes that her hair will grow.  She did very well sitting still.  However, her hair isn't as forgiving as Ryleigh since she doesn't have quite as many curls as she does but I think I managed to do a good job.

Snow!

We got quite a bit of snow this week.  While I was shoveling the driveway on Tuesday after it had snowed all day, the girls wanted to come out and play.  The pictures are pretty dark.  It was evening and I only had my phone on me that doesn't take the best pictures.

Bailey didn't like the depth of it.

Gymnastics

A snow day today meant I got to go with Ryleigh to gymnastics this morning.
