Gran and Papa Visit!

Gran and Papa Barrett came yesterday by my request to watch Bailee so Dave and I could go on a date to the temple. It was a surprise to Dave that I had planned since Tuesday! We loved going to the Sacramento temple. It was our first time and we were right next to it about a week ago getting our brakes fixed in the car and had no idea! The temple is so beautiful and we were due for a visit :) My parents were so excited to come and play with Bailee and visit us. We taught them our new favorite game, Mexican dominoes.

One day she will get a proper ride on the bike but for now she can just sit on it with them :)

She loves getting their 100% attention while they are here and they love giving it!

Loves her Papa
Went to an awesome place called Letherby's for lunch and had this AWESOME sundae afterward and are still full from it!


We loved having my parents here! Dave and I even got an extra nap this morning while they took Bailee out for a walk :)

Settling down feels so good!

We are finally in our own place and it is getting in order. A much slower process with Bailee around but it is getting there and we just take advantage of her down time to organize and establish our new home :) Bailee had her first set of vaccines last Friday which made for a stressful weekend of moving in with an unhappy baby. We learned that the doctor prescribed her a minimal dose of tylenol so she was toughing out those shots on her own :( She did really well getting them and is now back to her normal smiley self!
I have added a whole load of pictures since we have been here and there for the past little while... some are older than others but it is crazy to see how much she has grown in just a month!
She LOVES LOVES LOVES her swing! It is entertaining just watching her fascination with the little ball that rolls back and forth as songs are played. Once it stops she has even cried for us to turn it back on and once we do she gets a huge grin and throws her arms around in excitement!

prefers to eat her clothes :)

These shorts dont fit her anymore

It is so amazing to see how she looks at Jesus. I showed her the picture again yesterday and she just got really still and looked at it in a way that was a very obvious sign of connectedness... i can't fully explain it but I know she knows who he is because she was with him not too long ago :)

Shots :(

Today Bailee had her first round of her 2 month shots. She cried right when the stuck her with the needle but it wasn't long! She did so well :) She is now weighing 13 lbs and is 23 inches long and we are loving watching her changes each day! She rolled over for Dave the other day but it took quite the effort. I was at my internship, which can be hard being gone, but I am so glad Dave gets the opportunity to spend time with her while she is little because he will likely not have the same experience with any of the other children we have in the future. Dave is so great with her and I am so grateful to have him in my life for eternity :)
