Running and a Boo-Boo

Bailey loves the outdoors and, when out there, she loves to run...and run...and run. All that running produced her first real outdoor boo-boo this past week (she fell on the driveway). Poor baby, she was so upset by it that she didn't want to stay in her bath later than night (another favorite activity, so I know it was pretty sore). She's starting to heal and, apparently, was not too (mentally) wounded as this morning she was outside and once again running and running and running :)

Tea Time and Hair Time with YiaYia and Popo....

My parents stopped by yesterday for an overnight visit on their way up to Washington state (they're sightseeing their way across country back home to visit my brothers). As always, Bailey was thrilled that they were here. Letting them leave this morning was a bit tough for Boo and it will be a good 4 weeks until we'll see them next so...it will be a long stretch.

Below are some pictures of tea time with YiaYia (along with a mirror break when YiaYia had an eyelash in her eye) and some "hair time" with Popo. If you'll notice in the pictures with Popo, Bailey is up on his shoulders and grabbing onto what few strands of hair are left on the side of poor Popo's head :)

Riding in the mall....

Bailey loves the little cars in the mall...you know, the kind that take quarters (or dollars now as Popo has pointed out). She's still young enough that we don't need to put quarters in them, she's simply thrilled with playing/sitting on them. Today we spend about 2o-30 minutes in the Cumberland Mall on these little cars, after a trip to Costco (another favorite of hers :). And, yes, the picture at the bottom with Bailey "racing" the car does make us fearful for those teen years (when she gets her driver's license)....but not as fearful as the preview we got today when I called for her (as we were trying to leave to go to the mall) and she yells back to me from the living room, "I'm on the phone!" (her play phone). Two and a half and I'm already having a tough time getting her off the phone.....yep, we're afraid...very afraid :)

Hope you all had a wonderful week!

Lots of love....
