many facial expressions in a moment of time

Here is a little shout-out for Inchbug Labels. I am a HUGE fan!! I have these labels on almost all our sippy cups. Some of our labels have "Thompson Bailey" and others just have "Bailey". I can't wait to order Shepherd a few.

A few great things about these labels...

1)they go from bottle, to sippy cup to water bottle

2)dishwasher safe!

3)great colors

4)reasonably priced

5)great gift idea

6)can be personalized...because you know Thompson and Shepherd are not easy names to find!

Check them out!! http://www.inchbug.com/

a bailey family tradition...nightly tradition these days

Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies: the traditional recipe on the top of the oatmeal can. However,we at the Bailey house make them with a little extra vanilla, raw sugar,wheat flour and lots of love and little tastes along the way...

We like to make a batch of dough, refrigerate the dough, and make a few each night. This works well for many reasons:
1. they cookies are always fresh and hot
2. there is not a plate of made cookies sitting on the counter waiting for me (or Moses) to snack on all day
3. its a fun little activity for Thompson each night

Last night I wanted ice cream too...so we made some yummy little oatmeal cookie sandwiches...quite delicious!!

bubbles too close

We have graduated from baby shampoo and onto "big boy shampoo", however, it makes bubbbles...lots of bubbles. At the Bailey house you can see into the hall bath from the living room so we are in the habit of letting Thompson play in the tub. Last night I made the mistake of leaving the new shampoo too close to the tub/within Thompson reach.

When i walked in to check on him, there was a tub FULL of bubbles...and hid face said it all.

We decided to let him play with the bubbles...and he had a blast. Don't worry, we also talked about not using the whole bottle of shampoo in one bathtime.

Moses & Clark

this is my favorite!!

moses and t cooking

My Thompson loves to make cookies. The argument of nurture vs. nature would be a close tie in this case, maybe a little of both here. Moses loves to wait at his feet for any spills that might happen.
