Baby Girl 2

Her profile, so cute, with a smooshed little body.

Her little hands, five fingers on each, super duper adorable.

Teeny tiny feet, can't wait to kiss those little toes.

Cute profile with her hand up by her face.

I can't believe that it is a girl, I was in complete shock. This pregnancy has been really different. I have been opposite with all of the foods the I could eat in the beginning and my cravings are for sweets and chocolate, and I just want diet coke. But with Rosalie I couldn't stand desserts or diet coke. And this time my skin is really clear, no acne like with Rosalie. I just didn't think it could possibly be a girl. It will be fun to pull out Rosalie's old clothes and get it ready for baby girl, and Rosalie will love having a little sister. I got the bassinet out today and Rosalie wanted to climb in, but I wouldn't let her, so she put her dolls in it instead. I'm really excited to start making baby preps and decorating/rearranging the room. It will be fun to make them a matching little girl wonderland. I think it will be fun. Poor Sean is now going to be super outnumbered. I hope he can handle it. He does say he is excited though, so now we just have to figure out a name that is as cute as Rosalie.

As soon as I get a decent belly pic I will post it, so far all I have are a couple I took of myself in the mirror with my gym clothes on. I will have to find someone who is good at picture taking and get myself all cute. But my belly is not much bigger than it was with Rosalie, I just barely started showing last week, and even then people didn't realize I was pregnant. So I must just look chubby. Oh well, the joys of pregnancy.

11/11/11 will be exciting, hopefully she is like Rosalie and comes right on the predicted date.

Rosalie is Mischevious

Wearing Sean's hat. She loves doing that in her car seat when we are going somewhere with Sean, she copies him and has to wear a hat just like his.

Rosalie is always getting into something. She mostly loves to mimic things that I do, like preparing food, cleaning, etc. I turned my back the other day and she had somehow found a knife and was cutting a tomato I had out to slice for dinner. She is always digging in my drawer with the measuring cups and miscellaneous kitchen utensils. And she Also loves to do things like put on Sean's glasses, or our shoes, and pick out clothes for us to wear. So cute!!!!

Sean's glasses.

The flossers.

She got all of the flossers out one day and for some reason decided to poke them into the couch standing up. I thought it was hilarious, she is very creative.

Potty Training

We are working on potty training. I'm really relaxed about it, so it is kind of a long process. She does really well when I remember to keep her out of diapers, but she just refuses to do a certain business without her diaper. Hopefully she will figure it out soon. But for now she is doing great. Here are some pictures of her training her doll.Changing the diaper.

Not quite able to get it on.
Then she decided to put the baby on the potty because the diapers were too difficult. Don't worry, the potty is completely sterile and clean, I had just bleached it.

So proud of the baby in the potty. What a funny and observant little girl she is. Rosalie loves to mock real world things that I do.

April 2011- Strawberries and Rosalie's Birthday

I have been a bad blogger lately, sorry. Here is an update of what we did last month.

We went to the strawberry farm, and then made some yummy freezer jam. Rosalie hates getting her picture taken lately and will just not hold still.
She is purposefully not looking at me in this picture and is scowling to let me know she doesn't want her picture taken. Silly girl. She just never stops moving.
She was trapped, so I could catch her face on camera. And she was showing me her strawberries that she was eating. She ate a bunch of them and just wanted the whole bucket full.
Look mom a half smile, haha she is a cheese ball.

We celebrated Rosalie's 2nd birthday, I cried because my baby is growing up. But we had a really fun day with my family who drove down to see her. After Rosalie woke up the table was decorated with roses from Sean and a bunch of balloons blown up just for her and all of her gifts, she was so excited to see everything and everyone, but we did not get a picture of the display.

Opening a gift, she loves tearing the wrapping paper.
Here she has noticed that there are princesses on the paper, so cute!!!!

On her "car" from Grandma and Grandpa. She loves to press the button to make it go, but will no longer sit on it, she is terrified that it will move. So funny.

Rosalie's birthday dinner, one of the few times she actually sat at the table. She just wanted to explore the restaurant the entire time.

Rosalie was terrified of that bear at the restaurant, she just wanted to get away from it.

Watching Mickey cartoons on Aubrey's Ipad. She LOVED that thing, it was so cute.

Opening another gift, her makeup kit. She loves that thing because she can put makeup on like me and she loves to brush and play with the hair stuff. She is such a mimic.

Gammy and pops also sent her an amazing sand and water table which I don't have pictures of it being opened, but she absolutely loves it and I have pictures of her playing with it for another post.

She loved the candles on her cake, she blew them out twice, and we even made her pancakes with candles for breakfast. I think the candles were one of her favorite parts of the day.

Digging in before we could get it away from her.

Sneaking a bite of the cake first. She is so funny.

We had a really great rest of the month too, I just don't have pictures. My mom has them on her camera. We went to Austin for Stephen's Mission farewell and Easter and my mom's birthday, all on the same day. And then we stayed a week to hang out with Stephen and the family before he left on his mission. It was a nice week and Rosalie loved hanging out in the yard with Elvis and exploring. She loves outside and she loves dogs, so it was a perfect combination. Other than that we haven't been up to much. I will add more pictures and posts soon and vow to be better at this.

Happy Birthday Sean!!!

My love is 27 and he is the best and I can't believe I have him for my own. Happy Birthday Sean!!!!

I didn't have candles, so I used that pillar, silly me. And Rosalie thought it was her cake and wanted to eat the whole thing. A melt down ensued. Sean made us have cake on Sunday so that he can be healthy today. We love him so much and wish we could celebrate him all week long.

Lately

I have been a terrible blogger lately because I have been a terrible photographer lately. But here are a few from my phone.

Rosalie just loves to be naked lately, it is so funny.

She loves laying down like this to watch her movies.

Making faces.

She didn't want to do a photo shoot, but since I put her hair in pigtails and she insisted I do the same, I made her take some pics.

She wanted me to make that face.

Smiles.

Cute pigtails.

Sleeping Beauty!

She loves her Cinderella doll, she wants to take it everywhere with her. Thanks Grandma!

Rosalie is so much fun and we just totally love spending time with her. She is so talkative and knows exactly what she wants. It is pretty funny listening to her. She also sings and dances and loves watching movies with lots of fun music in them. She loves her snacks and she loves playing with her friends. She loves reading books. It was the cutest thing the other night, she made me read like 50 verses in the scriptures the other night, she just kept demanding that I read. As long as she has her own scriptures in front of her then she will sit still and listen. She is also really great about praying, it is so cute to hear her repeat us. She is just growing up so fast, and sometimes it makes me sad. She will be 2 in 5 weeks and I just can't believe how fast that has snuck up on us.

Sean is busy working, it is busy season you know. He seems to like the work, the stuff he does is interesting and challenging to him and he enjoys that. He has started doing some stuff in Austin and we might be going there for his work every once in a while. He has also enjoyed spending time with Rosalie and playing at home and reading to her and playing piano and guitar with her.

I have been busy baking. I have learned to make cinnamon rolls/orange rolls, dinner rolls from the Lion House, whole wheat bread, tarts, and a few other things. I just love food and baking and decided to try out new things. I just love doing things around my house and making it a better place and improving my skills at those types of activities.

Rosalie and I also keep busy hanging out with friends at the park, going to the zoo, going on walks and anything we can to enjoy the beautiful weather here. We will probably spend the summer in the pool once it starts to get hot, so we might as well enjoy the cooler air now.

I promise I will be better at blogging and picture taking from now on.

Book Review

http://www.quinnheder.com/2011/01/sample-preview-book-1-search-for.html

For all of you who love to read you should really check out this book. It is a cute cute cute novel and easy entertainment. I would recommend this over the Twilight series any day. It is not mythical vampire crap, but about the old west, but not in the dirty cowboy movie type sense. It is great, I really think it is fun. The best part about it is that Sean's Uncle is the author. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.
