Bug Antennae

Yesterday I put pig tails in Livvy's hair for the first time. They were so cute. She wasn't quite as sure about them. She didn't quite care why I was holding her head still, she just knew that she didn't like it much. Anyway here are a couple of pictures.



There were only half pigtails so they looked like bug antennae to me. :) PS - She was very excited about that box. I wonder why I even buy her real toys, she would do just as well with trash. Silly Girl!

But I'm not tired...

Olivia has recently started crying when I lay her down for bed. She will sit herself up and cry and cry. So I started sitting her in her crib and leaving her lamp on (if it's dark outside) and letting her play with her stuffed animals for a while till she falls asleep. This works really well, except sometimes she doesn't realize she is tired and falls asleep sitting up. I have walked in on some funny positions the last few days.

When I leave her she puts her face up to the bars and cries for me to come back. (She wasn't very upset in this picture because she knew I wasn't leaving while I was taking a picture.)


Here she fell asleep sitting up and her head sort of slouched into her lap. It's a good thing she is bendy!

Yeah for December!

It's been a pretty busy weekend for us. On Saturday it snowed all day! Aunt Jessi and Uncle AJ came over and we played all day long. But first, a couple funny pictures.



I really like manicotti (stuffed shells.) That and macaroni and cheese are my favorite big girl foods right now.




On Friday we had to walk down the street to drop off some papers. It was really cold so we had to get all bundled up. Mommy put some mittens on my hands and I just wasn't sure about them. I thought it was a game. But I look super cute in my mittens and hat. Thanks special grandma Jill!


At bath time on Friday night my hair looked like Medusa, so we thought we would share a couple pictures of that too.


On Saturday night Aunt Jessi and Uncle AJ went with us to the Festival of Trees. For those of you who are not 'Bridges' - My cousin Lindsay's (and Jason) little baby boy, Gavin, passed away last month. He was 3 months old. His short little life was filled with many physical trials. However, he brought so much peace and love to anyone near him. His Bailey relatives decorated and donated a tree for this years Festival of Trees. Here are a few pictures of it.













Here are a couple of the trees we liked the best or thought were the most creative. We only made it about 1/3 of the way through. Olivia got tired and grouchy.













And finally, we decorated out tree yesterday. Here is a picture of it.
