Bailey has discovered a few things lately and it is amazing to watch her delight in these things - She has found her hands and loves to put them in her mouth. She blows air out of her mouth with her lips pursed together. She can easily hold her head up and look around. She kicks her legs and it splashes her arms in the bath tub. She makes noises with her mouth when I sing to her at night, and when she has a little bit of milk in her mouth she likes to hear the gurgling sounds she can make. She gets so excited sometimes, like when she sees Wes when he first comes home from work, or when I get her out of bed in the morning, that she smiles real big, shrugs her shoulders and brings her hands up to her face. She can make it through the night without a bottle, and can put herself back to sleep if she's wrapped in her swaddle blanket. She knows that she does not like tummy time, and that if she cries I will be a softy and pick her up...She has mastered sticking out her bottom lip in the cutest frown I have ever seen, and sometimes I can't help but laugh when she does it. I could not imagine loving you more, Bailey bear.

"LORD, life up the light of Your countenance upon us. You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased. I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:7-8

Our little Valentine

Here's our Valentine....

dog lovers & art lovers welcome

Daisy and I pass one house on our walk with about 15 "no dogs " signs in their yard. It's kind of annoying. I get the point- I'm not going to let my dog go to the bathroom in anyone's yard- plus I carry a bag (sometimes) just in case Daisy can't wait.

Today we went a different route and passed a house with a different kind of yard art:

I first thought this giant praying mantis was ugly..

And this tree as well. I thought, who in the world would put this in their yard?

Then I saw this! The same people who have a giant bug, iron tree and a dozen other sculptures in their yard must love dogs. They made my day, and Daisy's as well! I decided that I kind of like the bug and the tree, because I really like the people who live in that house. I don't know them and probably never will, but they must pretty sweet people. We're going to continue walking by their house!
