This past weekend we celebrated Quinn's (Evan's little sister) birthday...we had a great time! As we were leaving, Glenna gave Bailey a cute bag full of goodies. One of the goodies was silly string. As in most cases, Boo was a bit apprehensive because she didn't want to get dirty but...after a couple of squirts, she warmed up and thought the fun stuff was pretty great! Thanks G!

TENNIS AND 24 WEEKS...
Last week Bailey had tennis camp (1 hour for 4 days). As with most sports, she thought it was "okay" but...she did her best! I'm thankful that it was at 9am each day because we've had some really warm temps these past few weeks. It was hard for me to be too frustrated, when she didn't run all that fast (or at all really :) when the coach asked them to. After all, it may have only been 9am but it was already 80-85 degrees outside and very humid!
I hit 24 weeks yesterday. I am now in my 6th month and starting to feel uncomfortable by the end of the day (for some reason, my belly is 3" larger at night!). Baby moves a lot and he is very strong. With Boo...I remember some really good kicks around 19-21 weeks, but she didn't "roll" my stomach until around 28. With him, I've seen my stomach "roll" since 21 weeks. He obviously has my sweet tooth already because he wakes up and gets very excited after I eat dessert at night (yes, that's at night...most every night. Of course, for me, sadly that's not a pregnancy thing :). Here's some amazing information that I found online about 24 weeks:
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

WHY IS IT....
Why is it that my beautiful 4 year old refuses to take a nap...unless it's too late in the day to do so? Boo has what we call "quiet time" each afternoon. It typically starts between 1:30p and 2p (after she's finished lunch) and goes for 45+ minutes. Once every 4-6 weeks, she'll tell me she's tired (or she realizes she's tired once in there) and she'll take a snooze. However...most days, she simply plays.
BUT...give her the chance and 50% of the time, she'll fall asleep between 3:30p and 4p. The problem with that is, if she takes a snooze that late...then she doesn't fall asleep (that night) until 10p or later. UGGH!
The two photos below are from this week....dang, she's so darn cute and (poor baby) sooo tired! Now, if only she would do this at 1p or 2p!
