Another one bites the dust...

Bailey has kept the Tooth Fairy very busy lately!  She lost her fourth tooth on August 28!

Miss Snaggle Tooth

When we got back from Disney World, Bailey discovered that she had her first loose tooth!  Then we figured out that she had not one, not two, but THREE loose teeth!  She was over the moon!

On July 11, she lost her first tooth.  We were at Nonnie's house, and thankfully the Tooth Fairy found her way there!

Then a couple weeks later, another tooth was so loose that it was disgusting!  While she was in the bathtub, I told Bailey that if she would just pull the tooth while in the tub I would match whatever money the Tooth Fairy gave her.  Our girl is motivated by money and that tooth was out before bathtime was over!  I didn't get a picture soon enough, and she lost ANOTHER tooth just two days later.  

Swimming Lessons

Campbell took swimming lessons during the first week of July.  He had one-on-one lessons Monday through Friday for an hour a day.  On the first day he learned how to float, kick, and "scoop" his arms.  By the middle of the second lesson, he was swimming on his own!  Ms. Tori was an excellent teacher and was so good with our stubborn little man.  On Thursday, he even jumped off of the diving board and swam across the pool!  We are so proud of you, Cam!

On the morning of August 12, Bailey woke up to a fun birthday breakfast!

Pretending to blow out the candles...I couldn't find a lighter!

Little brother wanted candles too!

Bailey's Birthday Party

When we made plans to go to Dallas to visit the American Girl store, we decided to have Bailey's birthday party at Nonnie and Bubba's house so that everyone could celebrate with us without making a trip south.

Dessert table...Hailey was the centerpiece!

Cousins

After cupcakes and presents, the kids had fun in the pool!

All the "big kids" can jump off the diving board and swim without floaties!

The "littlest" cousins!

We had so much fun celebrating our birthday girl.  

We're so thankful that all of our family could join us!  

Celebrating Bailey's Birthday at American Girl

One of Bailey's Christmas presents last year was an American Girl doll.  She named her Hailey.  For the first few months, she didn't really play with her, but lately Bailey and Hailey have been inseparable.  Bailey changes her clothes, brushes her hair, and takes her everywhere!  When we started thinking about what to do for Bailey's birthday this year, we thought a visit to the American Girl store would be perfect.  

On the morning of our visit, Bailey opened her present from us...

...matching dresses for her and Hailey!

The store was amazing, and they thought of everything including hooks for the dolls in the bathroom!

While we waited for our lunch reservation, we made an appointment for Hailey to get her hair done and ears pierced.  When we got our table, there was a special seat just for Hailey!

Bailey was in heaven!

Mommy's girl

The boys...proof that they were there!

The food was really good, and the presentation was so cute!

Hailey even got a doll-sized tea cup!

Campbell loved his dessert - THREE mini ice cream cones!

 Bailey had the Celebration Milkshake - it had a candle in it and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to our girl!

Blowing out the candle!

Did you notice Hailey's empty chair?  We had to take her to her hair appointment before our dessert arrived.  :)

She makes my heart melt!

After lunch we checked on Hailey in the salon...almost done!

The finished product!  Bailey picked the style and ribbon colors.

Bailey was so proud - and they let her go behind the counter for a picture!

Check out the earrings!

Back downstairs to shop for Hailey!

Bailey got Hailey a cheerleading outfit and McKenna's gymnastics outfit!

Bye-Bye American Girl...Bailey had a blast!  

(I'm not going to lie, the rest of us enjoyed ourselves as well!)
