Can't believe it's been one year already...

Wow, this first year of Bailey's life has really gone fast. I know that everyone tells you that but it really wasn't until Bailey was about 10 months that I realized JUST how fast time was slipping by. I think it was because she got more mobile and wasn't as "snuggly"!

"More please"...

So a few days ago, Bailey woke up about a half hour early and wasn't going to go back to sleep so I went in to her room and decided to rock for a little bit. (I wasn't ready to get up and going just yet and wanted some snuggles) At first, B was a little wiggly but then I started humming some hymns and she calmed down and just sat and listened for about 15 minutes. Then, as I was still humming, she signed her sign for "more please" for me to keep singing to her. We have been teaching her to sign this when she wants more to eat and so far she hasn't really used it without being prompted.

It was so sweet, my heart melted right then and there. I didn't want the snuggle session to end. She sat for about 10 more minutes before she was ready for some breakfast! I will always cherish that moment!

Bailey is officially walking EVERYWHERE! She is on the go and it is pretty fun to watch her explore our house with her new talent! She will turn one on August 25th! We are excited to celebrate all of the joy she has brought to our lives in the last year! 

This last weekend, Nathan and I went to visit The Midwife's Place in Bellevue, Nebraska. We are hoping to deliver our baby there in January (weather permitting). I am seeing a midwife in Hastings, Nebraska for most of my prenatal appointments and will deliver at Mary Lanning Hospital if we cannot make it to Bellevue (a 3 hour drive from Kearney). 

On that note, Baby #2 is doing well! I have been able to feel little movements for a few weeks now but Nathan felt the baby move for the first time this week! We are really excited to wait until the baby comes to know whether we have a new daughter or son! It's going to be the best surprise EVER!

In other news, I recently became a Tastefully Simple Independent Consultant! I am very excited about this new adventure. If you are interested in ordering or setting up a home taste testing party or book party, let me know!
