Baby coming!!

We are so excited to announce that we will be blessed with another sweet spirit from The Lord at Christmas this year! 
We will find out the gender a week from this coming Monday. Bailee has been so cute and excited about having a sibling and we are doing all that we can to prepare her for the change but only time will really tell :) 
This morning we took a walk with her baby to our apartment playground and are doing things regularly with play babies to teach her the caring for a baby. Knowing Bailee, we anticipate a little bit too helpful of an attitude and wanting to take care of the real baby :)

A few happenings lately:
My parents came for a couple of weeks which was fun to have our first visitors! Bailee continues to talk about them and how they went home on the airplane. She loved having nana and papa here. They helped her start potty training, took her to the pool a lot and started teaching her to swim without floaties, and spoiled her with lots of grandparent love!
Potty training is going very well :)
 One of those " just go get the camera and take a picture" moments :) my mom has told me that whenever your children make a mess (as long as they aren't in danger) go get the camera because you will want to look back on these moments as part of their curious childhood. This is only baby powder so not a big deal at all. We are teaching her that there are good choices and poor choices so when I walked in on her like this, she looked at me and said " poor choice..." We are liking the use of that phrase as opposed to bad, naughty, or trouble. Her carpet and room sure smelled nice and baby fresh afterward! 
Just a young family enjoying this journey The Lord is guiding us through. We love where we are and are taking things one day at a time :)
