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 :)




from the beginning...

These shorts dont fit her anymore

footprints with Gran and Daddy

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 :)

She loves looking at the books and gets really excited

Dave and Larissa, happy to read some of these entries in your blog. Isn't it amazing how kids recognize Jesus in pictures, my nephew has done that so much and so consistently with so many different pictures. Anyway, glad to see your smiling faces on my computer screen...and seeing these pictures of your cute little one gets me excited too! (We're expecting within a few weeks)... anyway cheers!
