Baby Lancome

Bayley looks so much more interested in my Allure fashion magazine than in her "who says baa?" baby book. She is too funny!!

Personality...

Bayley is only 15 weeks old and already has such a big personality. She has so many faces and makes so many noices already, it's amazing. I love watching her grow right before my eyes!!!

Can you believe they make jeans this small??? They are too cute!!! They are quite soft too which is good since her skin is sensitive. It's like playing dolls like I used to when I was a little girl. Bayley is my living baby doll that I get to dress up every day. So fun!!!

Mom and Bayley have a tea party

Last week I took Bayley up to San Clemente for her Dr. appointment at the Sears clinic. It is such a fun little beach town so I decided we would make a day trip of it since it's about a 45 minute drive. Everything was great at her check up, she weighs 13 pounds!!! Go Bayley!!! I left the Dr. feeling proud and grateful and decided to take Bayley for a walk around the town. The weather was perfect, 75 and sunny and I could smell the ocean breeze as we walked down Del Mar Ave. I was getting hungry and Bayley was asleep so I was looking for somewhere relaxing to sit and eat that was baby friendly (not all eating establishments are). I came across the cutest tea parlor and it looked like the perfect spot. It smelled amazing-like fresh pastries, I was excited! I ordered a pot of vanilla chai tea, 2 scones and some fresh fruit. It was all so yummy, the scones just came out of the oven and I have been craving them ever since!!! Bayley was so good, she just looked around at all the decor and napped a bit. We continued our stroll and made it back to the car and home to San Diego without any issues. I was proud : ) We even stopped at the outlet mall and bought her a pair of jeans and some pj's. She is such a little angel, we are truly blessed to have such a good natured, sweet baby. We had such a fun day, I can't wait for more tea parties with my little girl.

She wants to crawl

At this rate she will be crawling before she can sit up LOL She already rolled over the other day from her belly to her back!!! Good job Bayley, we are proud.

Autumnal equinox

Oh I'm so excited that it is Fall!!! Adam and I both love the Fall so much, it's such a cozy season. I can't wait to take Bayley to the pumpkin patch and dress her up in a ridiculous Halloween costume. The most exciting thing about this season is that Adam will come home and we will still have a month of Fall together, yay!!!!

Things we love about Fall:

Sunday football and Adam's famous chili
Going to Julian for apple pie and wine tasting
Pumpkin baked goods and the way it makes the house smell so good
The way the air feels crisp and how the leaves change color (only I can tell though in San Diego)
Halloween
Carving pumpkins
Thanksgiving (that needs a whole list of things we love in itself)
Wearing cute sweaters and boots
Pumpkin spice Lattes
Lounging around the house in our PJ's all day because it's finally cold outside
ADAM IS COMING HOME!!! NOVEMBER 25TH!!!
