Afternoon at the park

So I haven't posted in a while and A LOT has gone on. I am now working in Brentwood and I am enjoying the change. The people are great, it is VERY fast paced but I love it so far. On Tuesday afternoon I got a call from daycare and Baylee had a temp of 102.5. Carl was working nights filling in for someone so he couldn't leave so I had to be the one to get her. I hadn't even been working at the new place for a whole week yet so I was very worried what my boss would say. She was so understanding (she has an 8 year old daughter) and I was able to leave work at 3:00 and get Baylee in to see the doctor at 4:00. When I got in to see the doctor her temp was up to 103.1! She was burning me up just holding her. After meeting with the pediatrician it was determined that she had an ear infection in just one ear (1st ear infection since getting the tubes 3 months ago). She also has a funky cold on top of it so the last several days haven't been the easiest. Last night was the first night since Tuesday that she has slept completely through. And today is the first day she has went without fever. Praise God! Now back to the post....
Since Baylee has been cooped up and sick since early in the week I decided to take her to the park in Hendersonville. I have never been before but have passed by it several times. I took a few pieces of bread because I knew there were LOTS of ducks to feed. Now, on to pics Unfortunately those are the only pics I got with the ducks. We were standing next to a HUGE pond filled with ducks but my dare devil child wouldn't allow me to have my camera in hand when standing next to the water because she wanted to jump right in with the duckies :)
After feeding the ducks bread for a while we headed over to the AWESOME playground nearby.
At first she looked a little overwhelmed with all of the bigger kids running around and since she had never been there before. She soon warmed up and the slide was a HUGE hit!Once the sun started to go down we headed back to the pond to feed the ducks the last of our bread and we headed home. I think we may go back tomorrow afternoon.

I took these pictures Sunday afternoon. Baylee loves being outside.
Playing with Maddie. She was actually feeding her leaves and Maddie was eating them!
See Ne-Ne....look at those tight curls!

Shrine's CIRCUS!

Today Baylee and I met up with Alison and RJ downtown Nashville and headed over to the Shrine's circus. I have no memory of ever going to a circus but my mamma says that I did when I was very young. I know that Baylee more than likely will have no recollection of it at all but I sure will. We had a great time!These next two are the best I could do taking the pictures myself while she was in my lap. -Notice the little rash on her chin. Welp that is due to her pa-pa. Boy do I dread when the time comes to take it away from her! I took TONS of pictures of the Tigers. To much actually. However; we love our TIGERS so it's okay ;)
Shortly before intermission Baylee was minutes away from having a meltdown. She had been in my lap for over an hour and was passed ready to get down and walk around. After a quick diaper change she and I went down to the floor and she wandered around. Let me tell ya, she is NOT a fan of clowns! And bless her heart every time she turned around there was another clown in her face talking to her. They were everywhere!
Love those curls!This is what she was staring at...the PONY'S! No I did not even attempt to try and let her ride. I knew she would have a total meltdown if I put her on the back of a giant animal (to her anyway)
So amazed by it all....

Beautiful blue eyed girl!The circus started at 2:30 and we didn't get back to the car until right at 5:00. Baylee missed her afternoon nap so with the excitement of the day plus the lack of sleep she was beyond exhausted. I wasn't even out of the parking garage and she was out cold! It is 7:30 now and she is still sacked out and I am hoping with it being so late she will just sleep through the night. I don't have the heart to wake that baby up. It was a GREAT day! Alison took lots of pictures as well so when she posts them I will steal them and post them on our blog ;)
