All about Baylie Elizabeth Griffin

~She FINALLY got a tooth!  Every time she is fussy my mom says "Oh she must be teething..." so we have been joking that she is teething since she was literally three months old.  But finally last week she really was teething!
~She is a great sleeper!  She sleeps from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am!  She also still takes two naps for about two hours every day.  I'm one lucky Mama!  The exception to this is when she has to sleep in her pack'n'play, just forget any chance of sleep in that case!  She's getting better but she hates that thing!
~She is a really picky eater.  And she still LOVES baby food.  I'll try to feed her whatever we're having and she throws a fit until I give her baby food. Such a strange duck.  The exceptions are pasta, bread and bananas.
~She makes the FUNNIEST faces!  People always comment on how expressive she is and it's one of the things I love most about her!  Example:

~She is the happiest baby I know.  Again, we are so blessed.  She is hardly ever fussy or whiney.  She is on  a great schedule and as long as we stick to the schedule she is happy and content.  She loves to smile and laugh and we love her gummy grin!

~She is learning to talk really well!  So far she can say:  Mama, Dada, night night, buhbye, nana (as in banana), and no no!  Some of those she has only said once or twice but we're gettin there!  It is so fun to see her learning and growing.
~She loves to push buttons, literally.  Her most recent favorite is to play with car keys and push the alarm button because it's red!
~She does not like bottles.  She is ready to be done but she doesn't really like sippy cups either so that's a problem!
~She is a walking champ!  She still looks a bit drunken sometimes but she is doing really well.  She has been walking for over a month now and she just learned how to stand up without the help of anything to pull on.

~She LOVES bath time and recently has become obsessed with not wearing clothes.  She runs away every time I change her diaper or try to get her clothes/pajamas on!
~She is not too fond of men.  Especially men with facial hair.
~She loves "pretties", necklaces, earrings, bracelets. purses, scarves, headbands, you name it she wants it! She is all girl, that's for sure!  Everyone always asks me how I get her to keep her headbands on, she doesn't mess with them hardly ever, probably because she has worn one since the day she was born! Literally!
~She doesn't like to cuddle. She wakes up ready to play and plays hard until she crashes in bed.  She is starting to think about wanting to cuddle every once in a while but mostly she just gives us the stiff arm when we try to hold her close.
~She is really ticklish.. when she wants to be!  She laughs and laughs when we tickle her and then she decides she's done and there's no more laughter.
~She is fascinated by the snow!  That will make Daddy proud.  She seriously stands at the glass door and just watches it.


Nate and I are loving being parents to this sweet little thing!  She makes life worth it and knows just how to cheer us up if we're having a rough day. We are so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed us with her and we can't wait to see what He has in store for her!
