Spring Cleaning!

Here are some pictures I took of the baby having fun with Ohma and me at bathtime. We're still using the sink because there's no way I could manage helping her in the tub with this huge belly of mine! Every week Ohma has been coming over on Thursday nights and watching the baby all day Friday. I was going to write about how Ohma does this to help me, but as I sit here and think about it, that's not truly accurate. The further I get into this pregnancy the harder it is for me to do a lot of things, and having a 10-month-old makes it especially challenging. Josh has taken over most of the baby duties, from getting her ready in the morning while I concentrate on trying to get myself ready for work, to taking her on food shopping trips and keeping our house tidy on a daily basis. So when Ohma comes on Thursday night and takes care of the baby through Friday night it really gives Josh the opportunity to take a breather and just have fun playing with Dagney. We are both so grateful for all that Ohma does for our family!
In other news, May 9th will be my last day of work - I officially go on maternity leave and am excited to have a few weeks with Dagney before Baby Bunks #2 arrives (then again I wouldn't necessarily mind if the baby came a bit earlier than her due date). Dagney has been doing great. She loves to "talk" and has been testing the limits of her voice by happily screaming and screeching. She can say "Ba, Na, Ga, Da, Ma" and she constantly points to objects so we'll tell her what they are...she particularly loves the pictures of our family over the couch. And in the past few days she's been exploring finger foods and feeding herself - she has finally developed the pincer grasp that mommy has been waiting for!

Hello William & Mary

Today Dagney downloaded the Recruit Profile form for the William & Mary Volleyball Team and filled it out to the best of her ability using the tools from her craft box. In her excitement she wrote Coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton a wonderful letter and included a beautiful picture of herself to show Coach Shelton how tall and energetic she is. Of course we all know the picture as the "Yaa-hoo Christmas Photo".


After mommy proofread the the letter and daddy printed it out, all three items were going into the envelope, hopefully with minimal drool and wrinkling.



Writing the letter and filling out the recruit profile was easy for Dagney, however trying to figure out how these large pieces of paper were to fit into such a small envelope was a bit confusing to say the least.

Okay, clearly this job will be easier when attempted on the floor.

Although Dagney is now well versed with saying 'Mommy' and 'Daddy', here first complete sentence sounded something like, "BAH-BAH-BAH....With all this work I'm not expecting an early scholarship, but should Coach Shelton offer one I'll certainly not turn it down...BAH"


GO TRIBE GO!

Happy Easter!

It is Dagney's first Easter and we made all sorts of colored eggs to celebrate before heading to Ohma's house. She loved seeing the white eggs turn into greens, blues, yellows and pinks. However, once again faced with a rainbow of colors to choose from, Dagney found blue to be her favorite.

Super Tuesday - The Suspense is Crazy

It comes as no surprise CNN and Fox News are lagging behind www.bunkersfamily.blogspot.com when it comes to late-breaking political news!

Tonight the votes are counted for the first ever Ocean Shores Primary for the position of Mayor and none other than my father Dean Bunkers is in the running. We are all anxiously awaiting the results and will be feverishly refreshing our email!

While waiting for updates, be sure to check out the local media outlets for the most up-to-date 'mud'.

Good luck Dad, we are all pulling for you!

9 Month Check-Up

Dagney went for her 9 month check-up on Friday with Daddy and me. She braved two shots, but getting weighed was another story. The best the nurse could get was "about 19 pounds 6 ounces", which would be considered average. Her length is still in the 90th percentile, though, which continues to be Josh's worst nightmare coming to fruition. He has images of Dagney growing up to be a tall gorgeous red-head with blue eyes and of himself owning at least one shotgun to scare off suitors. He's convinced that if we start now we can influence her to become a nun. And poor Daddy has another girl on the way!
