January Update

We are back in the city until #2's arrival. It is nice to be home and back into our routine, although we really enjoyed all our time spent with family and friends over the last month.

Bailey made the transition better than I expected. I thought we would have a few more tears about not being able to play with the cousins and grandparents but so far she is handling things well and likes playing with all her new toys. She did get mad at me for boxing up alot of her old toys but she's already forgotten about that :) Bailey is doing very well with the beginning stages of potty training. I keep saying we are going to just do it but I am putting it off for some reason, I guess I don't have the energy right now. She does have a dry diaper most of the day though and goes on her potty fairly well so one of these days we will transition to big girl underwear when I feel up to more laundry ;) We did have a #2 in the potty at the farm, this girl will do anything for a present!

Jarod is done interviewing for residencies. We (I) am thankful that is over with! I'm glad that he chose programs in the midwest, I can't imagine travelling all over the country right now. He will be sending in his rank list shortly and then in mid March we will find out where he matches and where we will be moving! He has a few more days off before he begins a new rotation so we are really enjoying having him around the house and getting some boxes packed up to get the house in decent shape. How do we accumulate so much stuff?

Baby #2 is due in less than 3 weeks. I am getting to the point where I don't have too much energy left by the end of the day but I'm not in any rush for her to be here yet. We have a lot to do before then! We are enjoying our time with it just being the three of us, Bailey got to go to her first movie theater last week and we watched Beauty and the Beast in 3D. I think she enjoyed it and she continues to talk about watching Belle on the BIG tv.

Some recent Bailey comments:
As she had her head near my stomach, "baby growling at me"
"I don't want that, it's squished"  handing daddy her sandwich in a plastic bag that she just smashed
As we are driving to visit the family she says to me "Uh-oh, I forgot my camera"
 She walked up to Jarod and said  "Daddy, you're a doctor"

Bailey at almost 2 1/2 :

Your 2 year molars are beginning to push through
You are doing good with the little bit of potty training we are working on
You can say your ABC's and almost count to 20
You can easily converse with us
Your memory is absolutely amazing. I don't know how you remember all you do but it is impressive
You love dress up and be a princess
You love to wrestle and be tickled by daddy and grandpas and your uncles
You are beautiful inside and out and we love you so much!
