This is the picture I blogged about a couple of days ago. Jaylee and Zachary holding hands...too cute!

Another first!

Jaylee was laying on her play mat last night just staring at the hanging toys, as usual. After about 20 minutes of looking at all of them, she started staring very intensely at the one in the middle that plays music when you pull on it. She then started batting at it with her fist. After a couple tries that way, she started batting at it with her hand open. Finally, after about 5 minutes of trying, she successfully grabbed on and was able to hold on long enough to pull on it and make the music try. She seemed proud of herself, but from the excitement it got out of me, you would have thought she just won a gold medal in the Olympics. It's amazing how the little things get you all riled up when you're a parent! She was able to grab on a couple more times before she started getting fussy and gave up. Unfortunately I was so excited just watching that by the time I got my camera, she was done trying, so this is the only picture I got.

Weekend at the Homestead

This past weekend was Jaylee's first trip away from home. It was just a short 1 hour drive up to Midway, but it was a getaway none the less. She also went swimming for the first time, and I was lucky enough to find a swimsuit for her that was not only one of the cutest designs I've seen, but it was only $10! It was a nice relaxing weekend and we all had a lot of fun.

Right before we went swimming,

the first pose is always the best.

Each pose after was just more meltdown, but still cute!


The pool was a hot tub, but the temperature was
like bath water.


She doesn't look too happy in these pictures, but she was
very content for at least 1/2 hour in the pool.

It was so relaxing that she fell asleep in the pool,

and then continued her nap wrapped in her towel.

We can't wait to do it again!

On a happier note!

Today my baby girl is 3 months old! Has it really been that long? I feel like it's going by so fast already! But she continues to make me smile and laugh, and she amazes me every day. With the exception of a couple nights, she has been sleeping through the night (8-9 hours) for the past two weeks. She smiles all the time, and has started to grab for things...unsuccessfully. She does really well at day care from what they tell me, and everyone there loves her. We switched from the Farmington location to the Centerville location and Miss Ami told us that she was sad Jaylee was leaving because she was her favorite and that she is so cute! Miss Tara was very excited that Jaylee was joining her in Centerville.

When I picked Jaylee up from day care yesterday, they told me that at one point during the day she was laying next to one of the other infants, Zachary. They ended up holding hands and smiling! I thought, it can't be exactly as they explained it. But today they handed me a picture, and it sure was! Looks like we're going to have to watch out for boys earlier than expected!!!

Jaylee's Birthday, 5/11/09

Jaylee, 3 months old!

I love you sweetie and I can't wait for all the mile stones to come!

Some people!

As many of you know, my purse was stolen right off the front seat of my car at 7:30am Friday morning when I was dropping Jaylee off at Kinder Care. I've always said, I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost my purse. Well, now I know. It is one of the worst feelings knowing that someone is out there with all your debit and credit cards, checks, drivers license, work badge, etc. It's even worse when you find out that not only were they willing to steal your purse for the cash in it, but to use your ID to withdraw money from your checking account. Thank goodness I got my DL back because of it, but what a pain in the a**!!!!

So ladies, and guys too really, my advice to you is to keep a list of EVERYTHING in your purse. Even make a copy of your cards because the police like to get the numbers. I truly hope this never happens to me or anyone else I know, but if it does, I will be prepared. Also, think seriously about enrolling with a service like Life Lock. It's $10/month, but it provides peace of mind!
