Bailey turns 4!

 
Some how this girl has turned 4!  I just can't beleive it!  Some days she seems so big and other days she still seems like a little baby.  Sugie bear stop growing up so fast!  Here is a little recap of the last year!
 

 
This was exactly one year ago at the indoor water park. You absolutely love water and would probaby swim everyday if we let you!
 

 
In January we enjoyed warm weather with a trip to the Heard Museum
 
 
and a few trips to the park.  You have become much more brave at parks this year and will pretty much tackle any obstacle
 
 
In February there were a few cold days that you played dress up and on the chalkbaord table with sister.  You have become quite the artist lately and draw big elaborate pictures.
 
 
You love the little baby playground at the church! HA!
 
 
In February we also enjoyed a few trips to the zoo and fed the girafees.
 
 
In March we made a trip to the arboretum,
 
 
Baylor,
 
 
and to Sea World were you favorite part were the dolphins and the roller coaster.
 
 
Canoeing with daddy.  You love your daddy and have him wrapped around your little finger.
 
 
Cousin Harper came to sty the night and you and her played and played.
 
 
You love to push sister around in the stroller and can be a really good big sister. You two play together pretty good now but can also have some pretty good fights.
 
 
March brought some rain so we got to enjoy our raincoats.
 
April brought really warm weather and you recieved a hand me down car from the neighbors that you love to drive sister around in.
 
 
We celebrated easter and you LOVED hunting eggs this year.
 
 
We made a trip to the Tyler zoo.  You have transformed this year and have really started to care about having friends.  It has been fun to watch you stop parrellel playing and starting to want to engage others to play.
 
 
 
You love any and everything that has to do with being pretty and being a princesss.
 
 
May you had your first trip to the denist.  I was so proud of you and you did such a great job
 
 
May also brought warmer temps and more swimming!
 
 
A last few trips to the zoo.
 
 
You make me laugh almost everyday.  I just never know what you might come up with around the house.  HEre I think you are trying to look like a bag lady! HA!
 
 
Then the next day you can have on some crazy outfit like this one.
 

 
You helped daddy grow tomoatoes.  I think you ate most of them before they made it inside the house.  You love yourself some veggies.
 
In June we went and picked blueberries again.  You LOVE blueberries!
 
 
June also brought very warm evenings which meant lots of playing in the water in the front yard and popsicles.
 
In July, your cousins came to visit for the 4th and you had a fun time.
 
 
You kept me laughing around the house as usual
 
 
You love to rock sister and "read" her books and pretend to put her to sleep.
 
 
You also love to dance and are always dancing or jumping around like a monkey.
 
 
In August we had a blast at the BEACH!  You loved it there and still ask me when we get to go back
 
You also started to enjoy some chores around the house.
 
In September you started a 2 day a week preschool program and you have done really well and love it so much.
 
 
You went to your first daddy/daugher dance,
 
 
your first fire station visit,
 
 
and continued to do your gymnastics in the living room
 
 
You also love to draw on our magna doodle.
 
October was a busy month with lots of pumpkin patches and fall activities.
 
 
Like jumping hay bales,
 
 
riding carnival rides,
 
 
barrell train rides,
 
 
and being silly with mommy.
 
 
We got season passes to Six Flags and you will take on any ride that you are big enough to ride!
 
 
You got the start student bag and I was so proud of you.
 
 
We wrapped up the month with trick or treating with friends.
 
In November you enjoyed a school feast at school.  I love coming to your school and seeing you interact with your friends. 
 
 
Sometimes I feel like I don't get that much one on one time with you so we try to sneak away when we can.  We enjoyed a nice pedicure one day.
 
 
You love to play computer games and it has become the thing that I have had to start to restrict instead of the TV.  You can get on the computer, get the internet running and find your games.  It is pretty funny.  One of your favorite parts of school is computer class.
 
 
We wrapped up the year with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge where you rode every ride that you were tall enough to ride and literally swam until you could no longer stand up.
 
 
We celebrated your birthday early with a gymnastics party.
 
 
You enjoyed seeing Santa and really got into the whole concept and magic of it all this year.
 
Sugie Bear, we love you so much.  I know that you will change even more over this next year.  I am excited and also get sad at times thinking about how big you have become.  You are just so sweet and make everyone laugh all the time with the things that you say.  You have already told me that when you turn 5 you will get to go to kindergarten.  I can't believe that is only 1 1/2 years away.  I can't imagine being away from you for so long.  I love having you ask me every night before bed what is after rest time or hearing you ask in the morning what we are doing that day.  It is just such a blessing to have you and watch you grow.  Can't wait to see what this 4th year brings!
