Bailey goes to the fair...

Bailey came to visit this weekend and wanted to go to the fair! (Well, at least her daddy did, so she got to go too...)

Grandpa read her a story...

And Bailey gave him a gift...(she's into stickers!)

She discovered Scoobie...

-and her bellybutton...doesn't it make you smile???

She's growing up so fast!!!

We got home from the fair and the next day had the hurricaine force winds in the yard...

Mike shows Bailey his magic tricks...

Bailey's First Birthday!!!
