Sweet Bailee Girl

Bailee has been going through quite a rough time these past couple weeks. She is only almost 6 weeks old and has already had an ear infection, bladder infection and severe acid reflux. Luckily i have the sweetest little girl because she never even really cried! With all that painful stuff, she is just a happy little girl. I am soooooooo loving having a little girl. I love all the clothes, hair stuff and leggings. Although, she is much more expensive than Blake was! Everything for a girl costs so much. I have to keep myself away from the stores or i will go crazy!
 This little girls cheeks kill me! I love how chunky they are. Bailee spits up a lot because of the acid reflux. I am not used to it at all because Blake spit up maybe 5 times his whole life so far! So it is a little frustrating but we work through it. She is on Prevacid and it seems ot be helping a little bit. They also took me off dairy to help to! Its been really hard because i love dairy but anything to help this little one feel better.
 Bailee now weighs 9lbs even. She is gaining a lot of weight, which is really good seeing as how she spits up a lot. She can hold her head up pretty good and rolls over!

 I dont know why, but she makes this face all the time! I love that little tongue. Bailee also knows exactly what she wants. She only ever cries when she wants something and i am finally getting to know all of her cries. She like to eat RIGHT when she wakes up. Then she just sits there and looks around and has started cooing.
 Little bit of a smile. She has given me a few smiles and i actually found out she has the cutest little dimple on her left cheek.
I love her pretty blue eyes. I hope they stay blue. Bailee LOVES to suck. if she doesnt have her binky or she is not eating, she is sucking on her hand or arm. She sucks super hard and is so loud i love it!

I am enjoying her so much right now. I absolutely love her. She is so sweet and easy going for the most part. She is also a pretty good sleeper. She sleeps 4-5 hours in the night and takes good naps during the day. I also love her hair. She has old man hair right now but i am just so thankful she has some!

Buh Bye Macy!!

Yep........ Macy moved :( Its terrible. I have lived here for 7 years, 4 of them with none of my family here. I got really used to not having my family here so it wasnt that big of a deal. But then my brother Reilly and my sister Macy moved here! Macy has been here for two years and it has been so great! I have had a great shopping buddy, baby sitter, tv show buddy, and best friend here with me! I forgot how amazing it was to be around family. Macy has been such a great sister! She has loved my kids more than anything. Blake took a while getting used to her but now he is addicted to macy. She has taken him a lot of places and has baby sat him a lot. He loves her! Whenever someone opens the front door he say MACY!!! or DADDY!! He thinks she is super cool. Macy was here for me whenever i needed her. She also worked right down the street so she was at my house pretty much every day. While i was on bed rest she came over every single day wither before or after work and took care of me and Blake so i didnt have to get up. And then when my sweet Bailee came along she did nothing but hold my sweet girl! Bailee probably started to think Macy was her mom! HAHA! WE watched many late night shows together and i got to help her get ready for a few dates. I got to be all involved in her roommate situations and drama! She was such a blast to have living near me and i could never thank her enough for all she has done for me and my family. Not matter how much i did not want her to go, i know that this move will be so great for her! She will be so much happier at SUU. I love you Macy thank you for everything! WE already miss you and it hasnt even been a while day yet!

Me, Chance and the kids got to drive Macy to Cedar City yesterday to help her move and unpack all of her stuff!

 Bailee was so great through each car ride. I was a little worried because she has an ear infection, but she did great. She slept the whole way there and back!
 This little boy was pretty great to! He got to watch chuggington and eat some yummy snacks. He took about and hour and a half nap each way. Good good boy
 More than half the drive this is what the entire sky looked like. It was the coolest thing i have ever seen. You could see the sky at all there was just this crazy cloud covering. It looks like a cotton ball all pulled apart
 I love having chance with me on these trips. He is always such a great help. And he can carry all the big stuff and he always drives! Plus i just love having him with me :)
 Pulling in to Cedar City where macy starts the next chapter of her life. I even got butterflies for her! and ..... ummmmmm..... macy..... you should probably just drive in one lane!
 Macys new cute apartment. These look like little town homes.I think she will have fun here. There were a lot of people outside doing things and mingling.
 I am going to miss her.... i cant say it enough
 Nice big kitchen!
 Huge rooms!
 And her very own bathroom in her own room! So nice!
 Blake had tons of fun running in and outside while we were unloading. Then when we out the bed up he thought he was so cool because he got up all by himself that he was jumping up and down saying, " i did it, i did it!!"
 Macy did not want me to take a picture, can you tell??
 He was in such a great mood! Little does he know that he wont be seeing macy much anymore :(
 My sweet Bailee was great too! She will for sure miss Macy, she just doesnt know it
 SUU has a gorgeous campus! This is where she will be for the next 2 years at least!
 I couldnt get that great of pics because it was already 8pm and we still needed to eat dinner so i just had to snap as we were driving by
 HAHAHAHA!!! This is their footbal stadium! I am pretty sure it is smaller than my high school one!

Oh Jimmy Johns! GROSS!!!!! We couldnt find anything yummy to eat so we settled here. NOne of us had tried it and pretty sure we will never try it again! Our sandwiches had zero flavor! Then bread was super stale to! But we did get some good laughs.....
This was a sign they had in there. It says, "We'd love to see you naked, but state code requires shoes and shirt." HAHA! YIKES!! Then they had a light up sign outside that said, "free smells!" The employees were all wearing the same shirts that said, " Damn good, Damn Fast" and lastly they had signs posted everywhere declaring that they had, " freaky fast delivery and extremly fast delivery " Oh my gosh Macy and i could stop laughing as we were finding all these crazy  things inside Jimmy Johns!

Sing Sing Sing a Song

Blake LOVES LOVES LOVES to sing. He is so good at memorizing songs and he loves to sing all day long. He has made up a lot of songs or adds on his on words to the songs he already knows. I absolutely love that he is musical. He is always asking me and Chance to dance as he rocks out to music. He loves to play his piano and guitar to. I am really going to encourage all this musical talent of his! I hope he continues to love music.

He is singing: the madagascar song, twinkle twinkle, mickey, Jake and the neverland pirates and Teach me to walk in the light

Blakes new favorite place

We got the pass of all passes this year which allows us to get into seven peaks and trafalga free! Plus a lot of other things but those are the only things we take advantage of. So we decided to take Blake to trafalga the other day and he had a blast! It is for sure his new favorite place to play. You are supposed to be 36 inches o ride any of the fun things but they never question Blake so he goes on everything
 Eeeww dont mind the no makeup but i wanted a picture of us! My sister Macy had Bailee in the mobe wrap so no  Bailee in the family picture.... sad
 This is Blakes favorite ride. It goes all the way up and then bounces all the way down. He puts his arms up and gets really excited
 BATMAN car!!! Blake is very serious while riding the race cars but he loves them.
This Airplane ride takes them up and down. He thinks its really cool
 And he is very serious about it!
 These bumper boats are super fun................for kids! I got soaking wet! There are a bunch of water falls that you get caught under its terrible. But super fun for Blake
 I let Blake do most of the steering and he got to shoot water at all the people. He thought it was fun
 Yep that is my husband................. what a fruit cake HAHA
 Blake got daddy really good in the face
 This is one of those boats that swings back and forth. I was getting sick but Blake was putting his hands up and laughing
 They have some rock climbing that Chance took advantage of !

Family Fun Day

Yesterday we got to go to Seven Peaks and we had so much fun. WE have been so many times this year thanks to the pass of all passes! But we have not been in a while because of bed rest and then having the baby. So it was nice to get back there and let Blake run wild (which of course he takes full advantage of). Bailee and I stayed under an awning all day while everyone else went and played. I was perfectly content just enjoying being outside and sitting with my little girl.

 Perfect solution for Blake! He walks so slow and we have a far walk from the free parking! Plus he thought it was the coolest thing ever
 Nan, Kylie and Tyesun came with us and of course Blake was in heaven! They are so great with him. They took him all around and let him go crazy
And this is what Bailee did pretty much the whole time :) But when she was awake she was so quiet and i think really enjoyed looking all around. She did great!

2 weeks appointment!

My little Bailee is now 3 weeks old and had her 2 week appointment the other day. I cant believe she is already 3 weeks. Where the heck does the time go. With Blake i kept wanting him to be older because i was excited to see the next stage, but with Bailee i dont want her to get bigger. I love the newborn stage. Here are her stats for her 2 week appt.

Weight: 7lbs 2oz ( i was really worried about this one because she has acid reflux and only eats every 4 or 5 hours so i thought for sure she wouldnt make birth weight, But she did!!)

Length: 19 inches long!!!!! Yep she grew 2 inches in 2 weeks

She is now on Prevacid for her acid reflux. It is starting to help a lot. My poor girl was struggling really bad. She would eat and then grunt really bad for like an hour and pretty much throw up everything she ate. It was killing me i was so sad for her :( But things are finally looking up and she is doing so much better.
 Ummmmm i just love this little girl. Look at that sweet little face. I love how petite and tiny she is. That flower is like as big as her head! Bailee is a very good sleeper. At night she mostly only wakes up once to eat. Around 3 or 4. During the day she sleeps for 2-3 hours and then is awake for over an hour.
 She is a champion eater. This girl loves to eat. She always thinks she is hungry. She eats for about 20 minutes solid. She is definitely going to be a feisty little one. I will have her laying on her play mat and if she gets bored she will let out a yell and then stop, just to let me know she was still there. I love it! And for some reason she has rolled over on her own twice now. I am not really sure what is going on but we may have a very strong little girl on our hands. Speaking of strong, she is already able to hold her head up for long periods of time.
 Yea she wasnt able to sit very well by herself and she was starting to get mad so this is as good as it gets. Bailee loves the bath and hates to be cold. She also loves her feet rubbed and loves to be sung to. They each have their own song that i sing to them Blakes is Teach me to walk in the light(a church song) and Bailees is I am a child of God (another church song obviously). Blake now likes to sing the first part of his song with me and i love it!

Adjusting to life as a mom of two is challenging but so much fun! I love them both and cant wait to see how they interact as they both get older.

Big tractor!

Blake is obsessed with papa and his big tractor! A couple months ago Chances dad took Blake on his tractor and that is seriously all he talks about when Papa is brought up. So finally he got to go on the tractor again and he LOVED it!
 Nana took him out first while Chance and his dad were building a fence. Oh he was in heaven! He was checking out every knob, button and light. He kept looking at me with that look that says i am so cool
 He thought steering was pretty cool. Once he put his hands on the wheel he didnt want to let go
 Yep then he told Nana that he wanted to drive all by himself, because he is so independent, and man oman he thought he was the coolest little boy ever. He kept making the sounds of a tractor and telling me that he was having fun
Look at that sweet boy!
