Bailey has just been going nuts lately, learning all kinds of new stuff. She gets better at her pulling up and holding on to things (mostly our coffee table) to "walk" around. She hasn't gotten brave enough to go no-hands yet, but it can't be far off. There have been a couple times when she didn't realize for about a second that she wasn't holding onto anything, and she kept her balance just fine.

Yesterday she proved once again to be a lucky charm for Auburn by wearing her favorite t-shirt:

The Tigers beat up on Mississippi State, 43-14. They had a shutout going until the last two minutes of the game, when the mostly third-string defense kind of fell apart. Still a good game, as they totally dominated for 58 minutes. Next week's game against LSU will be tougher, but Bailey will once again be cheerleading from our living room so they should be okay. That reminds me, she started clapping this week!

And now, for the best Bailey story of all. One of her favorite things to get into lately has been our entertainment center. She started loving to crawl over and turn the DVD player on and off repeatedly. She just liked pressing the button over and over again. Well, on Tuesday evening, she crawled over and pressed the button to turn it on. The DVD that happened to be in was U2 Go Home (Live at Slane Castle). Bailey looked up at the screen and then didn't turn it off. When the band walked out onto the stage, she started waving at them. When the music started, she proceeded to "dance" along. When the crowd went wild at the end of "Beautiful Day" she started clapping with them. It was hilarious! Yes, Bailey's favorite band is U2 and it's not just me saying that anymore...
