A nice time with Grandpa
It was nice to have my dad come for close to a week. I have really enjoyed how our relationship as revolved into a friendship. Bailey and Carter really loved having Grandpa around especially since he took them to the Boise Aquarium and the Zoo. I hope to have some pictures of the Zoo soon to come.

Blue lips
Carter is like his mommy and loves pure sugar. I gave him a fun dip pack and he devoured it. He is all boy even with blue lips there is no way that he can be a girl.

Her voice had to be heard
She made very sure that Grandma Ott heard and knew everything that was important to her and was going on in her week.

Mimicking
Bailey and Carter were glued to the TV has Jared played one of his video games. I think that they thought he were a part of the game.
Speech Delay
They informed us that Bailey has a severe Receptive and Expressive Language delay so the information that she takes in does not always process correctly and comes out differently.She has a hard time expressing herself, because she is only using one or two words and is not able to get her point across. I have always know that she as seemed a little behind her peers, but I did not know the extent of how far behind she was or how to best help her. I have had a mixture of emotions of sadness because you never want anything to be wrong with your child. You want them to be like any other normal child and advance and do whatever they set their minds to.It is a relief to know she is getting the proper help she needs and her prognosis is good for developing normal speech and vocabulary. I am so grateful for my sweet Bailey that has come into our lives and has blessed us richly with her sunny dispostion and sweet spirit. I am so grateful that we live in a time where she can get the help she needs. My little angel!

Playing together
When they play they usually like to chase each other around the couch and topple one another as they wrestle. Bailey was trying to attack Carter while he does a body slam on her.

Your growing up to fast.
Jared decided to let Bailey listen to my Ipod when we were getting ready for bed. I was quite surprised to see that she seemed to like it. She kept dragging it from room to room when she wanted help changing the songs or putting the ear phones in her ears. You are growing up to fast. It is reassuring that you still like dolls, being read to, and still call me mommy. Technology has also come along way especially since I used to listen to a Walkman.

Your silly
Bailey had fun playing "Down Low To Slow" and then Kayla would tickle her. Bailey thought she was pretty funny by telling Kayla she was silly followed with a couple more giggles.
Let's dance
They had just got done watching Toy Story and Bailey grabbed Carter's hand and said, "Dance Carter." It was so priceless to watch them go around and around in circles as they danced.
A tight bond
They have become really good friends. I love watching them interact together as they chase each other around the couch, as they follow each other while pushing their strollers, wrestle on top of one another, look for one another when they are not in the same room. Bailey always will say after school, "I need Carter." Or she will say, "Carter is sweeping (sleeping)." They have formed an everlasting bond between one another. I am so glad they will always have one another as friends. :)

Speech improvement
They have been giving us goals to work with her where we have to take one word and add another word to it. We also have her describe what will happen next when we read her a story. I can tell that Bailey is improving on her speech since starting school on February 13th. She has some set backs but then all of the sudden she will astonish me by saying a whole sentence. I was feeding her some pears and all of the sudden she said, "Mommy I love pears." She also will say, "I need milk." "I need applesauce." I need water." It is these moments that I cherish.

Peek a Boo
I love watching them play, especially when it is filled with laughter and lots of giggles. They were having a good time playing peek a boo while moving the shower curtain back and forth. I remember the days when life was carefree and fun, as we played school, house, made mud pies, and so forth.

Some big shoes to fill
A human size doll
There is a bow in hair that you can't see along with a baby doll that she is snuggling with. She also had a hat on her head that fell off.
It was funny to see Bailey just laying here patiently has Bethany pretended she was her doll. She put a bow in Bailey's hair along with a hat on top of her head and a baby to snuggle with. She sat like this the whole time.

Owls can make you laugh
Carter was playing with daddy and the "See and Say" and whenever Jared would play the Owl sound for some reason it would make Carter laugh really hard. It was hard not to laugh right along with him.
Carter trying to act like a big boy!!

The Caucus
Jared, Tracy, Kayla, and I had the privilege of going to our first Caucus here in Idaho. It was a neat experience to go and have a say by voting for who we wanted to run. Once it started at 7pm the doors were shut and there was no access in once you left. They gave us a token and called you down by sections to put your token in the bucket of your choice and then once everyone cast their vote they tallied all the votes.The first round Mitt Romney was in first place, but did not have 51 percent so we had to do a second round which Jared was able to stay and do. I had to get home to the kids. I was really excited to hear that Mitt Romney won. This was history in the making and I felt privileged to be a part of it.
