Easter 2011

Easter was amazing this year!! I knew it would be a blast with Samantha being older. I (or I should say) the Easter Bunny got her a bunch of goodies for her Easter basket. She woke up on Easter morning and saw the basket full of awesome stuff  and went to town. We had candy for breakfast and played with neat stuff the Easter bunny brought for her.

Here's the neat stuff

After a much needed bath after playing with the bubble machine and eating most of the candy. We got ready to head to Seth's parent's house for Easter dinner and an egg hunt.

It was so much fun to watch the kids snag up those eggs. They had a blast!

Here's our beautiful little girl in her Easter dress

And this was our beautiful little girl after we got home

18 Months

Can you believe it? Our little girl is a year and a half! I could be in a little bit of denial. After all, she's suppose to be my baby, and stay my little baby forever. But she's by no means a little baby anymore, but a full grown toddler!! 

I'm so in love with this age!! She has always been a talker. Sometimes we can't get this girl to shut up. haha! She has started putting 2-4 words together.  Which I LOVE! We can actually have a decent sized conversation together. Sometimes I don't know what she's saying so I ask her to repeat it and she does, but I'm still not sure what she's trying to say, which I feel so bad about cause you know it's VERY important lol ;o) 

Some new words: Pretty, cool, cold, cheese, Papa, potty, poop, caillou(her favorite show), Up(her favorite movie), turtle, bird, flower, fish, go, bubbles, apple, crying and many, many more.

She knows some letters of the alphabet. Thanks to reading books to her, Sesame Street, playing with letters in the bath tub and the leap frog fridge phonics. 

She had her 18 month check up on the 11th, on her 18 month birthday. She's as perfect as perfect can be. She was 32 1/4 inches tall and 24.6 pounds. She had to get some shots, but now she won't have to get any until she's 4, if I remember right. Soon after her appointment she started to get sick. I figured it was because of the shots, but the days went by and she was still feeling yucky. We went back to the doctor and she had a pretty crappy ear infection, runny nose/congested and this horrible cough that would make her throw up just about everyday. We gave her some antibiotics and it all finally went away about week and a half to 2 weeks later. I was VERY happy to have my baby girl back to her normal ole self. The poor girl was miserable! :o(

She has been much more addicted to the TV. But since it's getting nicer outside we have started to cut it back and play outside more. She loves Sesame Street("Moe, Moe" Elmo), Caillou(obsessed!), Sid the Science Kid, Word World, Super Why! and her favorite movie is Up(obsessed!). 

I'm so incredibly excited to see her with her little sister! She's going to be such a great big sister and a great helper for Mommy and Daddy.  

She's my perfect little girl!! I'm so in love with her. Yes, she may frustrate me on occasion, But when I look into those beautiful blues, it melts all that frustration away! She's truly my guardian angel sent to me from God! She has made my life a beautiful place!  

20 Weeks/ It's A....

We've made it to the half way point in this pregnancy! And you all know what that means....The BIG ultrasound!  We had our ultrasound yesterday. We got to see our very active and adorable baby.

As you may know, Seth was being a big meany and was telling everyone that he will be the only one to know the gender of this baby. He says he didn't want to find out with Samantha and since he was "forced" into knowing, he was going to be the only to know the gender this time around and no one else will know(make sense, no, not really!).  It was really pissing me off, as you can imagine. I HAD to know. First off, if it was a boy we had to buy a whole new wardrobe and start working on the other bedroom. And if it was a girl, we really didn't have to do much of anything. Since we have everything from Samantha.

So Seth met us(Samantha, me and Grandma) at the ultrasound place.  We still weren't sure on what was going to happen in that room. If Seth was going to let us find out, if we were going to have this big argument in front of the poor tech. He was still going strong on the fact that we were not going to find out.  But I had a feeling that once we got into that room, he would change his mind.

We got to see our little baby going crazy, very hyper little baby. The baby was chewing on its arm, playing peek a boo, we got to see its adorable face, fingers, toes and..................... The tech asked the million dollar question, would you like to find out the gender? Right away, I said yes. Seth didn't say a word, although, I know he was pissed! But oh well! :oD

Samantha will be a big sister to a little......

SISTER!

Yep, it's another girl folks. A lot of people were in complete shock. Like Seth and his Mom. but I KNEW it was going to be another girl. I KNEW it! I wanted it to be a little boy for Seth, cause he wants a boy so so so so BAD! But poor guy is stuck with 3 girls in his life ;o) He's already talking about #3. I just laugh at him and say NO WAY! lol

I think it's great Samantha will have a little sister to play dolls with and tell her little secrets to. I just really hope that they will be very close.

The tech took her sweet time. Which was great! We had about an hour and a half worth of viewing our newest little girl. We got TONS of pictures and videos of her! Although I can't get the photos right now, but here are a couple of videos of her. :o)

Take A Guess

We did this baby pool thing with Samantha, and it was a blast to see everyone's prediction. So we figured we would do it again with this one.
Go ahead! Take a guess!
Will Samantha have a little brother or sister?
