Anabelle update

Here's a few pics of Anabelle, now 16 months old.

The sun was shining today and all Anabelle wanted to do was run around and play! Man, are we ready for summer or what??!! She's definitely an "outdoorsy" girl!

She loves to eat apples whole. Yeah, it becomes messy but oh well!

See that pen in her hand? That is almost always there! She LOVES drawing with her pen. Not so much with safer things like crayons. Luckily she's pretty good about only drawing on paper with the occasional line on her hand, which she immediately tells us about: "Uh oh."

And finally, Anabelle loves crawling through her tunnel and playing in her tent with Mom and Dad! 'Tent Club!"

She's such a good girl and brings so many smiles to our faces!

Half-way there!

It's hard to believe we're already half way there! 20 weeks today. 20 to go! I started teaching Anabelle to say "baby" when she points at my belly. That might be a little confusing for her, but it's entertaining to me!

19 weeks and feeling good!

Can you believe we're almost half way there already! I'm now 19 weeks pregnant and about 8 - 9 pounds heavier! At our ultrasound they told us the baby weighs approximately 8 oz! Why am I so huge then?! I've been watching my belly button slowly disappear, but other than that things are great! I can feel little girl kick and move which is very fun and exciting! I think she's going to be an active one like Anabelle was.

Ho Ho Ho

Just a cute little video of Anabelle. Couldn't resist.

We're having another GIRL!

At our ultrasound this past Wednesday, we found out the exciting news ... it's another girl! We're so excited! I think Anabelle is going to be such a great big sister and hopefully the two of them will be good friends! Now we just have to come up with a name! Any suggestions??!

Christmas in Louisville

Anabelle was surrounded by presents from Santa, her aunts, and grandma and pa!

Besides celebrating Christmas we were very busy. We had Shannon's baby shower, went to the Louisville Slugger museum, had a few Wii competitions, went bowling, visited with friends and did some major relaxing! We all had a blast in KY!

As usual, Aunt Colleen picked out the loudest, craziest toy - a vacuum! "I'm going to clean the house today! Do daa, do daa!" Anabelle loves it! If only if really worked she could help clean!

Grandpa showed her how to use her Elmo tickle hands to do the Tickle and Groove dance!

Grandma and Anabelle played "crazy cat" under the dinner table!

Louisville Slugger Museum

Anabelle and her friend Avery (Greg and Gina's daughter) had fun playing!

Christmas in Cleveland

Anabelle had a great Christmas! She got to spend time with her Auntie Alice who was in town from Mexico! Yay! Anabelle quickly learned how to pull off bows and tear paper and rip open boxes! She got so many fun presents: clothes, snow boots, a tent and tunnel, puzzle, a tortilla making kit, books, the list goes on and on. One of her favorite presents though was from Uncle Rob, who again outdid himself. He got her a new bike and a toy tractor to ride! Check out the picture at the bottom.

She even liked Dad's hot sauce. She's got Mexican blood running through her!
