November's Pictures

Another month gone too soon! The holidays are making time fly by even faster…I also can't believe I am half-way through this pregnancy! It is crazy how different this pregnancy is from my first one. With Lyla I was constantly thinking about being pregnant, it consumed my every thought. Since I'm so busy now chasing around a toddler, I have to remind myself sometimes to slow down because I am pregnant. I'm glad I have been feeling much better this trimester and am soaking up every day with L. Her vocabulary has grown so much, I just love listening to her talk. She is such a silly, sweet girl. She makes us laugh every day. We are looking forward to next month and can't wait to celebrate Christmas this year. Here are some extra pictures from November.

This is her favorite towel to use at bath time, every times she sees herself in the mirror she ROARS!

I could not get a good picture because she is so fast now, but for about a week she would go into my closet, pick out a random top, put it on her head and run around our bedroom squealing. She kept reminding me of E.T. when they dressed him up :)

I'm in love with this coat and hat Kara and I found at a resale shop. Heath calls her our little French girl,  Oui Oui!

She loves pushing this hand-me-down stroller from cousin, Leah

Thanks to Heath's cousin Denise, we received a box full of baby hangers they were finished with…I wish I would have saved it for Christmas. Lyla had so much fun opening this up, thanks, Denise!

Her favorite spot to eat her Os in the morning

We are ready for snow!

This was the last one on the shelf, so I had to take it!

Decorating for Christmas

He was so proud of his new contraption he made to cut the gutter cleaning time from 45 minutes to 5

This is one of the reasons why I love my husband. He does things like this to make his daughter laugh…although it kind of frightened her. I however can't stop laughing every time I look at this picture!

Dancing with Daddy to Christmas music

These are very messy, but her first pig-tails!!

They made her look so big :(

Baby #2 is a...

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had our big ultrasound for baby #2. Thank God, everything looked great and the baby is healthy. We were also able to find out the sex…it's a GIRL!! Sorry, Daddy, you are even more outnumbered! We are so excited and so thankful she is healthy. I can't wait to watch my two little girls grow up together…and we will get to reuse all of those hair bows!!

She has no idea what all this means :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year. It was so nice spending time with both sides of our family and being able to see some close friends. We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this year. Lyla really enjoyed her first Thanksgiving feast, last year she did not get to partake. We ate Thanksgiving lunch with the Peters' family and then went to my mom's side for dinner. On Friday my mom, sisters, and I did our annual Black Friday shopping and then on Saturday we had the McCombs' family Thanksgiving/Christmas. A lot of family, a lot of food, a lot of fun. What could be better?!?

Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

When we first saw our house, before we bought it almost four years ago, I immediately fell in love with the mature trees in our front yard. I loved how pretty they looked, the shade they would provide, and the thought of one day hanging a baby swing from one of the limbs. We moved into our house in April 2010 and it wasn't until that fall we realized how "fun" two huge Sweet Gum trees can be. Between the thousands of gum balls that fall from the limbs (which means this country girl cannot even walk barefoot in her own yard) and the insane amount of leaves that clog the gutters and completely cover the yard, these two beautiful trees are A LOT of work. However, I decided to take advantage of all of the leaves and take Lyla out to play in them before Daddy cleaned them all up. She had a lot of fun crunching them in her hands and thought it was hilarious when I would grab a pile and let them fall on her head. Here are a few pics of our fun :)
