even though bailey is light for her age, the doctor didn't seem concerned. she seems to be on track developmentally.
in this visit, bailey had her first blood draw. it was quite traumatic, but after being presented with a dora sticker, everything was ok.
now whenever there's music playing, bailey likes to bop up and down. she also enjoys doing assisted somersaults (thanks to jasper), sitting in high chairs, eating bananas, saying "hello" and "bye bye", shaking her head no, and riding around in laundry baskets.
bailey's first christmas in michigan was a ton of fun! she was showered with presents as well as loads of love and attention (her favorite).
over the course of the few days, she became increasingly fond of prince poodle, who she excitedly called "do do." she even worked up the courage by the end of our visit, to crawl up to him and pet him.
she made herself very comfortable and grandma merry's church by talking through both services as the sole member of the amen corner. she even had her first and second communions here!
most days were occupied crawling around, playing with kitchen utensils and being entertained by grandma, grandpa, uncle john and aunt denise. she also was quite smitten with the entire hunt family including great grandma joy, great grandpa harry, uncle rusty, aunt ursula, uncle john, aunt pam, chloe, and uncle tom (and his cat missy). for all the photos of our trip to michigan, click here.
her favorite big girl moments of the trip were:
- being babysat by grandma merry and grandpa (while mom and dad got to see a movie. hooray!)
- riding in the seat of the grocery cart at walmart, meijer, and kroger
- learning to climb stairs
- learning to get out of a standing position by herself
just as the snow began to fall this weekend, we went up to the rockefeller center christmas tree for a family portrait.
