Pig Tails

I have been waiting for this day since I found out I was having a little girl! Bailey's hair is finally long enough to make pig tails! Though she wouldn't leave them in, I got some precious snapshots of this exciting time!

Crazy, Busy Life!

I apologize for my lack of blogging the past few weeks, but LIFE HAS BEEN CRAZY!!!

First off, Scott and I feel as though we have a newborn again. Bailey has been waking up almost every night for the past few weeks at least once (sometimes twice). I can feel two of her molars making their way in, and I feel other large bumps throughout her mouth. However, she still only has 5 official teeth that are in. So, this teeth issue is disturbing both sleep as well as eating. On Thursday, Bailey ate 4 green beans. That's it!!! I always said I wouldn't stress about my child eating, because they will eat when they are hungry BUT I am starting to feel a little stressed. Today was a better eating day though. She ate an entire yogurt and cup of applesauce as well as a popsicle. I just need to be creative, because she obviously doesn't want to chew anything. Any moms out there have any tips???

Also, we are dealing with whether her teeth still bother her at night or if she has just gotten herself into a routine where she wakes up. We have been told to let her cry, and we did last night. I have a hard time with this though if she is actually waking up because of a toothache. Oh, the joys of the guessing game that we call parenthood. I long for the days when she can just tell us what is wrong! (I know... be careful what I wish for b/c then she'll be telling the world our business!)

Scott's grandpa passed away this past Tuesday. He was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago and has been up and down since. We knew this was coming, but it still doesn't make it easy to say goodbye. We headed for Montgomery, Indiana (southern Indiana) after work on Wednesday and stayed until Friday after the funeral. (To add to the madness, I had to be back in Columbus for an all day class on Saturday.) Even though funerals are sad occasions, it was nice to see all of the Yoder family.

This semester is also winding to a close right now. I am so ready for it to be over! I spent most of this afternoon finishing up my last weekly homework assignments for my accounting class, and I am excited at the fact that I just have my final assignments to finish up now! Only 3 papers and 1 test stand between me and FREEDOM!!! :) I feel like I can't get anything else accomplished with these assignments weighing on my mind. I so badly want to concentrate on Christmas shopping and our basement. (It is a mess b/c we are redoing it at the moment.) Soon enough, it will be here!

I hope to have a more exciting blog for you soon, but this is it for now!
