Prayers

On tues, feb 3 one of Brandon's friends died in the accident that occurred on I-69. He has known Ryan for years and this is just a horrible accident that happened. Ryan was going out to a job site and the work truck that he was a passenger in was struck by 2 semis. I just ask for prayers for the family and those who knew Ryan. This is going to be a very hard few days for Brandon so please pray for him.

Grabing stuff

Sorry it is side ways i did it on my little hand camera!!

Merry Christmas, Happy New year and The trip to Orlando

Sorry it has been so long!! We have been so busy that i am just not on my computer enough!! Well we had a wonderful Christmas and Gavin got many wonderful gifts. Because of his delays he can't play with most of them but they are waiting on him and we are working to get him to his toys!!!
We spent Christmas eve with Brandon's family and it was great!! Gavin played with his cousins and stayed up late like a true Bailey!!! On Christmas day we drove to Chicago and spent Christmas with my dad's side of the family!! We had tons of fun and My God son Colin was just In love with Gavin and was a great helper!! ( Christmas photos to come they are on a different camera that i left with my mom on accident)
For new years we stayed down town Indy with Brandon's family and had a blast!! He made it past midnight, and we discovered that he is starting to get an I tooth ( Incisor according to Brandon) so it explains alot of the not happy moments. On New years day we left for Orlando Fla. Gavin was a great travler, he has a little frog thing that plays music on his carrier that we are now sick of the song that it plays but he loved it the whole way there and back. While in Fla. we went to Coco Beach and universal Studios. Gavin took his first trip to the pool and started to fall asleep cause the water was like bath water. at Coco beach ,Gavin Loved the sand and i think he would have eaten all that sand if he could have ( Linz the shirt is so True). He also Took a nice nap on the beach. At universal Brandon and I kinda had a date day, My mom took Gavin around to all the kiddy stuff and enjoyed just relaxing and taking everything in. She and Gavin got her picture taken with some of the Simpson's! Brandon and I had a great time and it was really nice to be a kid again and then come back to Gavins great smiles!!!


Driving to Fla. Brandon and I got tired so we let gavin drive he loved it!!

Making progress!!!

For those of you who read about his devolpmental delays it is good to know that if u keep doing things over and over they really do kinda get it. He is getting better at the grasping which is what he was at a 2 month level. He holds a blankie now, and can even hold his bottle ,but not for the whole feeding but it is a start!! He also still doesn't sleep through the night, blah for me, but last night he went 8 hrs between bottles!!! about 6 of that was sleeping so i got to sleep about 5 hrs in a row!!! That is so rare haha!!!
( I know that isn't holding it i just can't find that picture, but it is cute anyway)


So with the holidays coming around, my favorite part is here.... Cookies and decorating the cookies!!! I have about a weeks worth of baking to do and about 2 days worth of decorating sugar cookies and Ginger bread men!!! I know it sounds like a lot but I LOVE IT!!!! If anyone wants some let me know!!!!
