December Fun

The Bailey's have been busy in December. We have done lots of fun things, but I haven't had time to post pictures. Kade is taking a nap right now, so I finally can get to the computer.
Kade is no longer the sweet little baby boy that loved for me to sit and hold him. He is now a sweet WILD BOY! Just since I have been home on Christmas break he has really started to be on the move. He scoots around all over the place and he has gotten fast. He doesn't crawl he does this funny swimmer looking scoot. He is even pulling up on things too and falling all over the place. He hits his head and just keeps going. It is really scary! We can not leave him alone for a minute anymore. He constantly wants to be on the go and is interested in everything. I'm a little worried he is going to be the sweet little boy in Kindergarten who is always running around the room. His teacher will be saying, "Kade sit down." Just getting the boy to stop for a diaper change is like a huge struggle. He is really at a fun age, he is starting to really interact and play. Tim and I have so much fun just playing with Kade.
I am really enjoying getting to be at home with him. Tim and I got to go out on a date to the Stars game last night. My cousin's company had extra tickets and she asked us to go. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Angie! Early this month Tim's mom came to visit and we celebrated Christmas with her. We also walked in the Jingle Bell Run and Kade; and I went with my cousin and her kids to the Polar Express. We had a fun Christmas, Kade's favorite thing was rolling in all the paper. Here are some pictures from Christmas and December Fun; they are a little out of order...

Go Stars!

We took Kade to his first Dallas Stars game on Friday night. We had a lot of fun. Kade did get scared 2 times when the people around us got extra excited. Tim and I were really nervous that it would be too loud for him. Kade stared at the huge t.v. scoreboard. He took about a 30 minute nap after the first period and woke up at the end to see the Stars win the game. We were all really exhausted when we got home. Tim and I decided this would probably be Kade's last Stars game for awhile. :)

Holidays

The holiday season always makes me miss my mom even more. This time of year I feel myself getting moody and extremely irritable. I feel bad because Tim is always the one who suffers from my moodiness. He is always so patient with me whether I am being mean to him or crying over every little thing. I am very lucky to have such a great husband. Holidays are supposed to be happy; but I just get so sad wishing that my mom was here to enjoy it with us. Now that we have Kade it is so hard knowing that he will never know my mom. She would have loved him! When I have questions or don't know what to do I just want to call my mom. She always knew the right thing to say in any situation I was ever in. She really was like my best friend, I told her everything. I think about her everyday. Tim and I talk about her sometimes and it's nice to remember the different times we had together. My mom loved the holidays and having parties with family and friends. It's Kade's first Christmas and I really want the holidays to be special for him like they were with me and my mom. I know my mom would not want me to be sad. She was always smiling and trying to make the best out of any situation. I know that on Christmas morning she will be there watching over my family and smiling.
