Fun Happenings

Bailey is growing so fast-  we are finally out of the fussy newborn phase-  she is now into her smiling and social phase-  we love it!  She has multiple videos talking to dad on the changing table (her favorite place of conversation) just after her bath.  Here is one of many!  We call this the Moses video 

  She is also getting better at holding her head up while on her tummy.   Video 2 is her working on those baby push-ups.  Don't mind her moms silly talking in the background-  you lose all sense of maturity when the baby is in the room .


Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Clark house this year.  It was a wonderful meal-  Jared made the Turkey and a wonderful cranberry sauce,  Glenys made yummy stuffing, Spence and Amy made Potatoes and i made my moms sweet potato suprise.   Good Eats!   We were all so stuffed that we didn't even touch the Pie-  blasphemy- haha.

That night we made gingerbread houses once Annette and Shaun (and baby James)  came over.   It was a lot of fun- we always enjoy our time with family.

Melanie brought this awesome bib for the babies and each got their turn wearing it-  Here is Bailey in all her Thanksgiving glory :)

2 Months Old

Bailey has grown SO much-  we went to the Dr. for her 2 month check up and the difference between her 1st week and 2 months is incredible.  Here are the videos to prove it- the first video is at 1 week old weight check and the second is her 2 month appointment.  Same scale-  bigger baby

Here are her 2 Month photo shoot as well - she was far more wiggly this time around than last month

Bailey's Blessing

On November 13th we blessed Bailey Rae Clark in Church.  We were very touched by all the family and friends that came to support us and participate in the Blessing. That morning Nate made the comment that if she cried and fussed she was only going to get a name- no blessing.  Well she did just that and cried the entire time.  Her father still pronounced a beautiful blessing upon her.

Bailey's blessing dress was created for her by a good family friend Robin Shepherd-  the material and lace came from my mother's wedding dress.  It holds a great sentimental value to me.  Her booties came from Mexico.  After telling Bruce and Glenys we were pregnant they sent these to us.  Bailey looked beautiful!




After church we came home for a Baked Potato Bar-  The trick to baking 65 good potatoes at once- use a double oven-  bake on 350 for 2 hours and then leave on warm for 1 hour while at church.

We are so thankful to all our family that traveled far and wide.  Grandma & Grandpa Hartmann flew in from Colorado and Uncle Matt & Aunt Jen Drove over with the kids. 


Bailey's First Snow

On November 5th we had Bailey's first snow.   Her mom promptly put on her snow suit to take her out.  When we emerged from her room Nate just laughed.... i thought she looked stinking cute- he thought she looked silly... you judge for yourself :)

Happy Halloween

Bailey's First Halloween!!! 

On Friday October 29th we had the Steele's and Steere's over for our yearly pumpkin carving fiesta.  Nate carved a Day of the Dead Pumpkin and I carved an Owl.  Bailey made a kitty pumpkin in honor of her costume.






For Halloween Bailey was a Kitty-  The Cutest Kitty ever!  We took her Trick-Or-Treating to a few houses in the Neighborhood.  Her parents had to take advantage of candy that we wouldn't have to share with her-  we only get about 2 years of it :)   




1 Month Old!

For Bailey's 1 Month Birthday we decided to drive to Colorado to see Grandma and Grandpa Hartmann.  We left town on Friday after work and got to Grandma's house at about Midnight  The next day we went to Skylar's soccer game and hung out at the house and socialized.  On Sunday we went to Skylar's Primary Program and Aunt Jackie and Kelli came to visit.   That night we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Hartmann's house.   Monday morning we packed up and headed back to Utah.  It was a great weekend and we were so excited to spend time with family and show off Bailey.  Here are a few fun memories.
