Three months...can it be? With so many parties, road trips and events in July, this month has flown by and it doesn't even seem possible that Miss Bailey is already 3 months old! And boy has she grown!
Bailey Jayne - 3 Months
We don't have to go to the doctor this month (hooray, no shots!) so we did our measurements and weigh in at the house with the help of Daddy. At three months Bailey is measuring 24 in. and weighs 13 lbs. 6 oz.
Although we enjoy napping several times a day, Bailey is a lot more awake and alert each day. It's fascinating to watch her discover new things and figure out how to do some things on her own. Bailey still loves to dance and sing along to music, especially when Mom sings and dances her to sleep. Her legs are getting stronger each day and she loves to stand up while holding our hands to show off. She also learned how to roll over this month, which makes Mommy and Daddy a little more nervous but it makes tummy time even more enjoyable when she can flip over on her back. Bailey has also started getting a lot of use out of her new toys and loves her Bumbo, jumper, exercise mats and her bear activity center. She loves nighttime reading with Daddy, taking naps with Tequila and meeting new people. She even went to her first business meeting this month!

Watch her roll over for the first time (well second, but first on film!)
One of our favorite days this month was travelling up north to see Mom's good friend Nicole and Miss Dylan for our first play date! Although they didn't exactly know there were two babies in the room at first, once we set them down to play they became fast friends and even held hands. It was so good to see Nicole and Dylan and can't wait for many more play dates and shenanigans to come!
Had to pick out the right outfit to meet Miss Dylan

So much cuteness in one photo
Bailey also got to visit new friends at Everly's 1st Birthday party. We had a lot of fun watching all the kids and celebrating with everyone (even though we slept through most of it). Mom and Dad did get a few pics in before we left.
Happy Birthday Everly!
It may seem as though all we do is party, but it's not all fun and games...we still have to get our daily chores done. Luckily Bailey loves helping out!

Mom's sous chef
We love playing dress up (or Mom does) and playing with our dolls. With all the shopping and garage sales Grandma and Mom have done, we have lots of fun clothes and toys to play with. Here are a few of our favorites:
Grandma got me this outfit
Playing with our Princess
Just hanging with the girls
Such a happy girl
Mulan is creeping up on me
Though she enjoys playing with her dolls and new friends, Bailey's real BFF is her big brother, Tequila. Bailey loves watching her big brother run like a maniac around the house, go on walks to the Community Center and park, getting big sloppy puppy kisses and most importantly - snuggle and nap. They are pretty inseparable these days, Tequila never lets her out of his sight. His favorite Bailey time is afternoon nap time.
My favorite moments

So snuggly
Her first BFF
She is such a sweet sleeper and has a lot of sass even when her eyes are closed.
Sleepy Princess
Posing in her sleep
These two are inseparable
No worry...this handsome little boy is close by
And don't worry, even with all of her Tequila naps, she still has time for her other favorite napper...
Such a rough life
Couldn't wait for Mommy any longer
With this heat wave we've been having, we thought we'd introduce Bailey to the pool. She's a little too young for the chlorine yet, so Daddy got us our very own pool we can set up on the deck. We of course had all our gear ready, we just needed to add water!
Our future's too bright
Pool time...checking out the water
With our sun bonnet, chewing our fingers
Yeah, maybe not our favorite thing right now...the water was pretty cold
So the pool didn't work out the best just yet but we are going to try again with warmer water next time. She loves her baths, so we're sure Bailey will be a happy little water baby soon. Since it has been so hot out, we've had to take a lot of our playtime indoors, trying out all our new toys. Take a peek into some of our favorites...
Our first time in the Bumbo was a success!
Playing with Tete
Loving our pink giraffe
There's nothing like a little Bumbo action in the morning
Why are you always taking pics of me Mom?
We love our bouncer

Too much fun
We love playing with our toys on the Bumbo

Seriously checking everything out
We love the new bear toy Mom and Grandma found
This month we've really been working on our tummy time...it hasn't been our favorite thing to do, but once we started incorporating it into our morning routine, Bailey doesn't seem to mind it that much. Plus that's how she started rolling over and she is kicking her legs so hard now, she is getting close to scooting around.
Starting to like tummy time a little more

Starting to get into this tummy time business
Along with tummy time and playing with her toys, Bailey loves to stand up and check out the world. She is so independent and we know that it won't be too long before she starts pulling her up by herself so right now we are enjoying her still needing our help.
She loves standing up
Such a big girl

Holding ourselves up on our own
Showing Daddy our new toy
Very interested
I can't believe how much she has grown this past month and am so lucky that I get a chance to spend my days watching her grow and do some of the work that I love from home. I love all of her silly faces, her smiles that light up the room and watching her play with her daddy every chance she gets. Here are a few more of our favorites before we wrap this up:
This is our Surprise face!
Silly faces
Pretty Pretty Princess
Our first tornado warning in the basement...not sure about those sirens but we made a game out of it!
Guess who did my hair tonight?
Not caring that he isn't supposed to be on the glider
We are being really silly here

Pretty excited about our Bumpo
Busted again
Those eyes
Contemplating the meaning of life
Can't wait to see what this next month brings! Until then...
XOXO,
Sara, Brian, Bailey and Tequila
P.S. We had another first this month...Mommy and Daddy date night out at Sandstone. It was a scorcher but I loved introducing Brian to Sandstone where I spent many, many summer days and nights! And Tim always puts on a good show!
Date night at Sandstone to see Tim McGraw
And as always, here are a few outtakes from our shoot this morning :)
